Final Opportunity: Essential Preparation for the NIS-2 Directive

The NIS-2 Directive, a critical European framework aimed at enhancing cybersecurity, has already been enacted. Organizations across various sectors must understand the key requirements to ensure compliance ahead of its transposition into German law.

This directive imposes stringent obligations on IT security, risk management, and incident reporting for businesses operating in essential and important sectors. Non-compliance could lead to severe penalties, including substantial fines and the potential for personal accountability for executives and IT managers.

With the NIS-2 Directive yet to be integrated into national legislation, many affected businesses are grappling with how to implement these new requirements effectively and legally. To assist in this transition, the program titled Classroom NIS-2 in Practice - Implementing the EU Directive and Enhancing Security offers valuable insights and a practical step-by-step guide for successfully adopting the NIS-2 framework.

This educational initiative will cover all relevant aspects of the NIS-2 Directive, including risk assessment, the implementation of technical and organizational measures, and compliance documentation. Participants will gain the necessary tools to ensure their organizations are both secure and compliant with the new regulations.

IT professionals will be equipped with knowledge to prepare their companies proactively for the upcoming regulations. They will learn the specifics of the directive and understand the necessary actions to take. The scheduled sessions include:

  • May 7, 2025: Overview of NIS-2 - Who is affected and what requirements apply?
