What our trainers have to tell:

The PECB NIS 2 Implementer training, including the 2-day NIS 2 Foundation and the 4-day Lead Implementer courses, offers a structured implementation plan for companies subject to the NIS 2 directive.

It is also important to note that companies providing or managing services for NIS 2 operators as suppliers should consider the obligations imposed by this directive.

This training is therefore highly relevant not only for professionals and companies directly affected by the directive but also for those supplying services and/or goods to organizations covered under NIS 2. The course further explains the sectors involved, which extend far beyond previous legislation.

The PECB training provides the various building blocks necessary for a step-by-step approach to achieve full implementation, monitoring, and improvement of cybersecurity measures based on the PDCA cycle, with risk analyses aligned with the requirements of the European cybersecurity directive.

To manage this cycle, various standards are used, each assessed against the directive’s requirements. These include ISO 27001, ISO 27002, and the American NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework), among others. Additionally, important standards such as incident management, business continuity, crisis communication, and others are covered.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg…
