NIS 2 Foundation case studies
NIS 2 Foundation · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The NIS 2 Foundation credential is an entry-level certificate about the EU's NIS 2 Directive, offered by PECB (the Professional Evaluation and Certification Board) as part of its NIS 2 Directive training track. It is aimed at people who need a working vocabulary of the directive rather than hands-on implementation duties: newcomers to cybersecurity compliance, IT and OT staff in essential or important entities, risk and audit staff, and managers who must understand what the directive asks of their organisation. The NIS 2 Foundation case studies are 5 cases and about 2,593 words.
