Why certification
The NIS2 supported certification program establishes a common understanding of the level of expertise required for managing NIS2 compliance and cybersecurity initiatives across European institutions and private organizations.
Understanding the certification levels
The European Commission has defined a single level of certification for NIS2 compliance. This certification tests candidates’ theoretical knowledge and their ability to apply it in practice. The NIS2 certification is awarded upon passing the Foundation exam. This exam is based on the European certification syllabus, which details the covered topics, the required level of understanding, the number of questions, passing score, and exam time.

Why certify?
independent verification of skills
A certification provides acknowledgment of your skills and knowledge. It provides a way to independently prove to your (potential) employer that you have the skills you claim to possess.
Remain competitive and employable
Studies show that 90% of employers use certification as a reliable indicator of a good candidate in the hiring process. They do so because they are convinced that certification sets a benchmark for the required skills level and needed understanding and knowledge they would like their employees to have.
Remain flexible in your job options
Switching jobs to obtain better conditions and opportunities is a constant factor in people’s working careers. Certifying your knowledge creates a competitive advantage in the job market.
Benefit from shared knowledge
Through best practices, professionals share knowledge that is accepted or prescribed as most effective for a particular problem. Learning and certifying this knowledge helps improve your professional effectiveness and enables you to develop this best practice further.
