NIS2 Training & Awareness

NIS2 Training & Awareness Programs

Professional cybersecurity training environment

The NIS2 Directive explicitly mandates cybersecurity training and awareness programs as one of its 10 mandatory security measures. Our comprehensive training services help organizations build a security-conscious workforce while meeting all NIS2 compliance requirements.

Why NIS2 Training is Mandatory

The NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 requires organizations to implement “cybersecurity training and practices for basic computer hygiene” as a fundamental security measure (Article 21, paragraph 2, point g).

Key Training Requirements:

• Management Oversight: Leadership must be trained on cybersecurity measures and risk management
• Workforce Education: All employees must receive regular cybersecurity awareness training
• Basic Cyber Hygiene: Training must cover fundamental security practices
• Ongoing Programs: Training must be continuous, not one-time events
• Effectiveness Measurement: Organizations must evaluate and document training effectiveness
• Documentation: Comprehensive records of training programs and attendance must be maintained

Our NIS2 Training Solutions

We offer comprehensive training programs designed to meet all NIS2 requirements while building genuine cybersecurity awareness throughout your organization.

Training Language Availability: Currently, our NIS2 training programs are available in English and Romanian. We are actively working on expanding our training offerings to additional languages and will provide updates soon.
