Technology and cyber board advisory

Directors carry responsibility for digital and cyber risk. Under NIS2, management is personally accountable. Yet many boards and supervisory boards do not have a technology background at the table.

A Clateway board advisor brings independent technology and cyber expertise to your board: an independent view on management's technology plans, the right questions for the audit and risk committee, and briefings on cyber, AI and regulation.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a board need a technology advisor?

Cyber, AI and digital regulation are now board-level risks. A technology advisor helps directors challenge management's plans, meet their NIS2 and DORA obligations and make informed decisions about technology investment.

Does NIS2 make board members accountable for cybersecurity?

Yes. NIS2 requires management bodies to approve and oversee cybersecurity risk-management measures, to follow training, and it allows them to be held liable for infringements.
