NIS2 Compliance: Strengthen Cybersecurity through Awareness & Culture

Hetty Roach

You've invested in infrastructure, now it's time to invest in people.

The NIS2 Directive, adopted by the EU on 16 January 2022, requires all member states to implement it into national law by 17 October 2024. This directive is all about boosting cyber resilience, and it introduces new awareness requirements that are essential for organisations. NIS2 covers a lot more ground than NIS, focusing on things like basic cyber hygiene, building cybersecurity awareness through training, and strengthening your organisations defences.

Employees' actions can significantly impact an organisation's cybersecurity, so having well-informed and trained staff is essential for keeping your organisation secure and responding effectively to incidents. This makes proper cybersecurity training a key factor in maintaining NIS2 compliance.

During this session, we will explain how to identify gaps, develop a compliance roadmap and build a culture of cybersecurity awareness through effective Security Awareness Training (SAT) and Human Risk Management. Practical tips will be shared to help you integrate cybersecurity awareness into daily operations, helping to maintain a strong security posture and ensuring NIS2 compliance. 

With stricter enforcement and increased fines under NIS2, it’s critical to address compliance before the October 2024 deadline.

Key Takeaways: 

During this session, you’ll learn how to: 

  • Embed cybersecurity awareness into your organisation’s culture.
  • Engage key stakeholders, including top management, in cybersecurity initiatives.
  • Create methods to reinforce cybersecurity messages and promote behaviour.
  • Use techniques to measure the effectiveness of your training programs.
