NIS2 & ISO 27001 preparations
Compliance requires skills, not certificates. Our trainings can help you achieve exactly that. So you’re never "chicken" again when audits, incidents, or regulators come knocking.
Getting ready for NIS2 & ISO 27001
NIS2 and ISO 27001/27002 do not primarily require certificates. They require competence, processes, and evidence.
Auditors and regulators assess whether organizations are able to implement, operate, and maintain security controls in practice:
Is there trained and competent staff? Are roles and responsibilities clearly defined? Are security controls technically implemented and operated? Can the organization provide evidence?
This is where hands-on technical training becomes essential.
What our training provides
Preparation of operational and platform teams and practical understanding of security controls and their implementation. Hands-on labs instead of theory-only sessions as Audit-ready training evidence (agenda, learning goals, participation).
Why this matters for audits
- Audit-ready teams
- Compliance-aligned training
- Control-oriented enablement
- Evidence for auditors
The following overview shows how our trainings contribute to specific NIS2 articles and ISO/IEC 27001 (DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001) controls.
The mapping does not represent certification preparation or auditor guidance. It highlights how hands-on technical training supports the implementation, operation, and maintenance of security controls required by NIS2 and ISO 27001.
The table is intended to help organizations, security teams, and auditors understand which competencies are strengthened by which training and how this supports audit readiness, traceability, and compliance evidence.
