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 does the wiki. The NIS 2 walkthrough on nisd2.eu, which guides you step by step through implementation, costs € 4.800 net a year; self-hosting on your own servers is a one-time self-host licence.
