NIS2 Advanced Training

A deeper learning route for participants who need more than a concise boardroom session. The Advanced Training provides time for legal interpretation, risk management, duty-of-care assessment, assurance, reporting, cases and application.

Deeper learning objective

Analyse, assess and apply

The programme is designed for directors, supervisory board members, audit-committee members and senior governance professionals who need to work through the subject in greater depth. More time supports discussion, reflection and the careful assessment of real management information and dilemmas.

Participants learn to connect the legal framework with risk, controls, suppliers, incidents, assurance and demonstrable decisions.

Programme

Structure of the NIS2 Advanced Training

The final programme is aligned with the participants and sector. The core route covers the following subjects.

  • NIS2, the Dutch Cybersecurity Act, governance and responsibility;
  • risk-management methods, protected interests and all-hazards scenarios;
  • assessment of duty-of-care measures and proportionality;
  • supply-chain security, suppliers, contracts and assurance;
  • incident reporting, crisis governance and escalation;
  • management information, evidence, decisions and supervision;
  • cases and application to the participant's own role.

Active processing

More time for cases, reporting and personal application

Participants assess cases, compare options and practise the questions that reveal the quality of a risk assessment or control framework. Reporting examples are used to distinguish information that supports board judgement from operational detail that belongs elsewhere.

The programme also allows each participant to formulate role-specific actions and questions for their own organisation.

Legal interpretation

Understand the Dutch framework and its governance implications.

Case assessment

Weigh scenarios, controls, residual risk and alternative decisions.

Reporting analysis

Assess evidence, KPIs, KRIs, assurance and escalation.

Delivery

Open or in-company, with documented learning content

An open programme supports exchange between sectors and roles. An in-company route can use the organisation's governance and reporting context and create a more focused shared analysis.

The programme, learning objectives, attendance and certificate are aligned so the organisation can demonstrate what was covered. The full route is available in English.
