If you run ground infrastructure in the EU
If you run ground-based infrastructure for a payload like this one from an EU Member State and are an essential or important entity, NIS2 requires policies and procedures to assess the effectiveness of your cybersecurity risk-management measures, and 303 Overwatch runs a no-fee working session that helps you stand up your own exercise capability to do it.
