NIS 2 Tabletop Exercise Training
Design, run, and document the annual exercise the directive demands. Built for facilitators - 50 minutes, audit-grade, free.
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. The exercise duty in Articles 21(2)(b)+(c) reaches every essential and important entity, but consulting tabletops cost €15,000-50,000 per engagement. We built this course and the Live-System Tabletop platform module so that every facilitator can produce defensible exercise evidence without paying a consultant. The platform is free. The attestation is free. Open source, no lock-in.
