1. setting out the list of sectors and their classification to whom the new directive will be applicable
2. providing them with an understanding of the mechanisms of the directive and compliance requirements.
3. providing a comparison between NIS 1 and NIS 2 to bring about changes that have been brought and develop an understanding of any additional obligations that they might have to fulfil
4. understanding the key requirement of appointing a NIS2 representative
