What should you be able to explain after NIS 2 Foundation?

You should be able to define key NIS 2 concepts, interpret the main requirements for a cybersecurity program, and recognize common implementation approaches.

After foundation training, you should be able to communicate the directive's essential vocabulary and explain what NIS 2 requires at a high level. This includes fundamental concepts and definitions and how they relate to cybersecurity expectations.

You should also be able to interpret the main requirements as program-level expectations, not just technical measures—linking governance, planning, and operational capability to compliance outcomes.

Finally, you should recognize the typical approaches and techniques organizations use to implement NIS 2 requirements, enabling more informed discussions with implementers, auditors, or regulators.
