150.000❗️companies are directly affected by stricter EU cybersecurity regulation NIS2 - and they are forwarding the higher cybersecurity and business continuity to their international business partners already.

This way, NIS2 will make it through the markets like EU GDPR - just quicker and without a warm-up period.

NIS2 is effective from 17.10.2024.


Next to your own data integrity, taking pro-active cybersecurity action is a real business opportunity!

"Looking at attack and damage statistics, probably every company should double check their cybersecurity strategy regularly.

At the same time, there are globally more than 4 million+ cybersecurity experts missing, who could help especially small companies with such complex projects.

During the last years, I have helped many different companies analyse their security level and implement higher cybersecurity standards - to protect their own data integrity and match regulatory standards as well as client needs.

Now I am sharing my project patterns, best practices and templates as part of the Cyttraction Cybersecurity Project Guide!

The best part:

Like all my Cyttraction courses, also this one is designed for people who are curious about cybersecurity and project management, but don't necessarily have much experience in these areas.

This makes it a great career opportunity for e.g. project managers, team assistants and working students.

And as you already asked: yes, cybersecurity experts who are searching for a strategy cheat sheet are welcome as well."
