Security / Governance, Risk & Compliance

NIS2/KSC for executives: legal liability, risk management and cyber security strategy

The training is designed to prepare executives for their new legal responsibilities under the NIS2 Directive and amendments to the NSC Law. Delivered through interactive workshops and crisis simulations, the program focuses on legal responsibility, strategic cyber risk management and making informed investment decisions. Participants will gain the skills necessary to oversee security policies and effectively lead organizations in the face of cyber threats. Class methodology emphasizes case study analysis and practical decision-making exercises.

Why choose this training?

As NIS2 and the Polish KSC Law impose direct personal liability on executives, board members can no longer delegate cyber security entirely to IT teams. This training translates complex legal obligations into clear management decisions, equipping leaders with the strategic tools to govern risk, oversee supply chains, and lead the organization through a cyber crisis with confidence.

What makes our approach unique?

EITT draws on a network of 500+ experts and more than 2,500 trainings delivered to provide executives with a learning experience that is both legally precise and operationally practical.
