Governance codes as an entry point for board discussion
Recognisable sector context
In Dutch healthcare, social work, childcare, housing, culture and charities, sector governance frameworks connect with continuity, risk management, oversight and accountability. The 2025 Social Work Governance Code also addresses digital transformation, data, AI and cybersecurity explicitly.
The Masterclass uses these codes as context for board questions. Training remains focused on NIS2, the Dutch Cybersecurity Act and board capability; a sector-specific assessment or implementation engagement is delivered separately through Kynexis Informatiebeveiliging BV.

What this NIS2 boardroom training covers
The programme combines legal interpretation, governance, risk management and practical cases. It stays accessible to non-technical participants while retaining enough substance for informed challenge.
- NIS2, the Dutch Cybersecurity Act and executive responsibility;
- cyber risk scenarios, impact and a practical risk-assessment method;
- the duty-of-care measures at board level;
- supply-chain risk, critical suppliers and assurance;
- incident reporting, crisis roles and board escalation;
- KPIs, KRIs, residual risk, evidence and board decisions;
- a case and the organisation's own follow-up agenda.
Optional preparation
Information Security Quick Review
An optional Quick Review provides a concise view of governance, embedding and maturity before the Masterclass. This helps us select examples and questions that match the organisation's current position.
The Quick Review is clearly scoped as preparation. A full audit, technical assessment or formal compliance opinion remains a separate assignment.
