Approximately 90 minutes • online or on-site
NIS2 Boardroom Briefing
In ninety minutes, executive and supervisory board members establish one shared foundation. You identify the responsibilities that need attention, the information still missing and the subjects that belong on the first board agenda.
After the session
A shared foundation and a first board agenda
The Briefing translates NIS2 into responsibility, risk management and decision-making. You gain clarity about the legal core, the information the board needs and the first subjects to discuss.
- Clear roles and responsibilities
- Focused questions for the board, CISO, IT and suppliers
- A logical choice of next steps
Programme
What we cover in 90 minutes
The programme is compact and deliberately board-focused. Sector and organisational context are used to make the subject recognisable while the legal scope remains precise.
- NIS2 and the Dutch Cybersecurity Act: scope, timing and core obligations;
- executive responsibility, governance and the relationship with supervision;
- risk, duty-of-care measures, suppliers and incident reporting;
- management information, evidence and demonstrable decisions;
- the organisation's first board-level follow-up agenda.
Outcome
What the Boardroom Briefing delivers
The session provides a shared understanding of the legal and governance context, a sharper view of the questions that still require an answer and a first set of logical actions. It is particularly useful at the start of a programme, before a board meeting or when new directors need to join an existing discussion.
For organisations that need to assess risk, reporting and cases in greater depth, the Boardroom Masterclass is the natural next format.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Is the Briefing suitable for small organisations?
Yes. It is a proportionate starting point when the board needs a concise shared foundation before deciding on deeper analysis or implementation.
Does the Briefing fulfil the statutory training duty?
Suitability depends on the role, documented learning objective, depth and ability to assess risks and measures. We align the programme with the intended purpose and record the content.
Can supervisory board members attend?
Yes. The session distinguishes executive responsibility from supervision and gives each role relevant questions.
What is the difference from the Masterclass?
The Briefing establishes the foundation. The Masterclass provides more time for governance, risk assessment, reporting, cases and board-level decisions.
Is English delivery available?
Yes. The complete Boardroom Briefing is available in English.
