The recent reports regarding data leaks at major firms like Basic-Fit and Booking.com serve as a sobering reminder: the NIS2 Directive is no longer a distant regulatory goal—it is our current reality. 🛡️🏛️ The official start of NIS2 marks a shift from "optional security" to "mandatory resilience." For organizations, the question is no longer if they are affected, but how quickly they can bring their teams up to the required standard of digital security and reporting. At Simon Academy, we believe in a proactive, nuanced approach to compliance. Rather than reacting to leaks, we focus on building the foundational expertise needed to prevent them. To support this transition, we are proud to offer our NIS2 certification courses in partnership with PECB: 🔹 NIS2 Foundation: Understand the core requirements and scope of the directive. 🔹 NIS2 Lead Implementer: Gain the practical skills to design and manage a compliant security framework. Digital resilience isn't just a legal checkbox—it's a commitment to protecting your customers and your reputation in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Let’s move beyond the headlines and focus on building a more secure infrastructure together.
