Course Description
Healthcare organisations have become one of the main targets for cybercriminals. Ransomware attacks, identity compromise and connected medical device vulnerabilities are no longer just IT concerns. Every cyber incident can directly impact patient safety, care continuity and the legal responsibility of hospital leadership. In France, hospitals have been heavily targeted in recent years, while the NIS2 Directive now places stronger cybersecurity obligations across the healthcare sector.
This Hospital Cybersecurity & NIS2 Readiness course was created for hospital directors, CIOs, CISOs, clinical leaders and healthcare governance teams who need to understand cybersecurity in a practical healthcare context without being technical specialists. The course helps participants understand hospital-specific cyber threats, strengthen cyber governance, improve incident response during live care operations and support NIS2 compliance requirements.
Across six progressive modules, you will move from understanding healthcare cyber threats to building operational resilience. Topics include zero-trust security, third-party risk management, incident detection, crisis response, regulatory communication and practical NIS2 readiness for healthcare organisations.
By the end of this Hospital Cybersecurity & NIS2 Readiness course, you will be able to strengthen your organisation’s cybersecurity posture, respond effectively during a cyber incident, maintain continuity of patient care and demonstrate NIS2 compliance with greater confidence.
Why NIS2 Training Matters
In France, a healthcare organisation suffers a major cyberattack every week.
The NIS2 directive, transposed into French law, imposes formal security, incident notification and governance obligations on healthcare organisations. Sanctions for non-compliance can reach €10 million. And beyond fines, it is patient lives that are at stake every time an incident is not contained.
Where This Course Takes You
Understand threats specific to the hospital environment
You will know how ransomware disrupts care continuity, how attackers move laterally through clinical networks and which medical devices represent critical entry vectors into hospital infrastructure.
Build robust, audit-ready cyber governance
You will be able to construct a governance system that survives real audits and real incidents — with actionable policies, documented evidence and risk quantification focused on patient safety outcomes.
Master NIS2 obligations and sector-specific rules
You will understand what NIS2 concretely requires of your organisation, how notification obligations work in practice and how to articulate cybersecurity with health data protection requirements.
Lead incident response without interrupting care
You will have operational playbooks for managing a cyber crisis in a live care environment, maintaining continuity of critical services and communicating with regulatory authorities within imposed deadlines.
