EU Critical Entities Resilience Directive: A Five-Day Investigation

Overview
A 5-module decision-based scenario course on Directive (EU) 2022/2557 (CER). Across eighteen months at a fictional drinking-water utility in the Yorkshire Dales, the learner plays five different roles inside the same incident: Compliance Officer who finds the entry, Resilience Officer the entry belongs to, HR Director who recognises the contractor, Operations Manager when the alarm fires, and Compliance Officer again across the audit table. Approximately 140 minutes total. Course delivered in English.
Target Audience:
Compliance officers, resilience officers, HR directors, operations managers, and CISOs at essential / important entities under CER scope (energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, health, drinking water, waste water, digital infrastructure, public administration, space, food).
Features and USPs:
Five-POV course architecture (same incident from five role perspectives). Console-vigilance mini-game. Cascade-map activity (live incident propagation). Bookend framing across all five modules from the Bundesamt audit room eight months later. Decision-2 slider for nuanced positions under regulator scrutiny. Legally reviewed by qualified EU counsel.
Learning Objectives:
- Manage CER Article 6 designation and entity-level obligations
- Run background checks on personnel with sensitive access (Article 14)
- Operate under live incident pressure with cascading dependencies
- Document an incident chronology that survives competent-authority review
- Engage with a Bundesamt-equivalent national authority during audit
