NIS2 Tabletop Exercise Training
Plan, facilitate and document a tabletop exercise that rehearses your Article 23 NIS2 reporting chain. A free course for facilitators: 50 minutes, with a certificate of completion.
Who this is for
Information security officers, CISOs, IT managers, BCM leads, and crisis managers in essential and important entities under NIS 2. The facilitator who runs your annual tabletop. EU-wide framing with German transposition examples.
What you will be able to do
Identify the legal basis for the exercise duty, rehearse the Article 23 reporting cascade end to end, assign mandatory and recommended roles, separate the facilitator from the participants, walk through one complete scenario with decision points, run the hot wash debrief that produces improvement items, and write an audit-grade protocol with management body sign-off. Structured across 4 modules:
Why is this free?
No EU body certifies NIS 2 training providers. Article 21(2)(b) and (c) NIS 2 require every essential and important entity to handle incidents and keep operating through a crisis. An exercise shows whether that holds. We built this course and the Live-System Tabletop platform module so that every facilitator can produce defensible exercise evidence without paying a consultant.
This course and its certificate stay free, as do the wiki and self-hosting: the same source code (AGPL-3.0) on your own servers. The NIS 2 walkthrough on nisd2.eu, which guides you step by step through implementation, costs €4,800 net a year.
