Talks and training
NIS2 made clear for management.
For economic development agencies, chambers, associations and networks: talks and training after which guests know whether they are in scope and what to do now. No jargon, no scaremongering, with a result to take home.
Main talk
Are we in scope, and what does management have to do now?
Germany's new BSI Act has applied since December 2025. Many companies do not know whether it covers them, and the duties fall on management personally. The talk brings clarity instead of worry and shows what is proportionate.
What guests take home
- Their own first assessment from the quick check
- Management duties on one page
- A list of first steps with deadlines
- The way to free support from the state of NRW
