- English delivery for international and mixed-language boardrooms
- From concise orientation to application within your organisation
- Clear board-level interpretation with practical follow-up
NIS2 at board level
The Cybersecurity Act requires demonstrable choices
The Dutch Cybersecurity Act enters into force on 15 August 2026. Organisations within scope must analyse cyber risks, take appropriate and proportionate measures, report significant incidents and maintain executive oversight. Directors approve the measures and supervise implementation. This requires sufficient knowledge, clear risk appetite and useful management information.

For executive boards, directors and supervision
Executive directors weigh risk, measures, budget and ownership. Supervisory boards need information that enables effective questions, oversight and timely intervention. Advisory boards and audit committees bring their own perspective. The training makes those roles explicit and supports a shared language.
Executive board and directors
Set risk appetite, priorities, accountability and formal decisions.
Supervisory board
Assess KPIs, KRIs, residual risk, assurance and progress through focused questions.
Advisory board and audit committee
Act as a well-informed sounding board on digital risk, reporting and escalation.

Clear answers about NIS2 training
Which NIS2 training is right for our board?
Choose the Briefing for a shared foundation, the Masterclass for governance and risk assessment, the in-company Boardroom Day for application to your own organisation, or Advanced Training for a deeper multi-day route.
Who is required to complete NIS2 training?
The specific statutory training duty under the Dutch Cybersecurity Act applies to executive directors of essential and important entities. Appropriate knowledge also supports supervisory boards, advisory boards and audit committees in their own roles.
Is a NIS2 webinar the same as NIS2 training?
The live webinar is a concise orientation. Training provides more time for risk management, board-level assessment, cases, questions and application.
Which training connects NIS2 with risk management?
The Boardroom Masterclass explains how to assess cyber risk and measures. The in-company Boardroom Day adds a board-level risk analysis of the organisation, priorities and a follow-up agenda.
Is follow-up support available?
Yes. Kynexis Informatiebeveiliging BV can support improvement planning, prioritisation, decision-making, management reporting, coaching and CISO direction after the training.
