504 days = 72 weeks until 17 October 2027. The typical work blocks under NIS2 Directive:
- entity registration with the competent authority — 1–2 weeks
- incident-reporting playbook update — 3–4 weeks
- management-body cybersecurity training — 2–3 weeks
Stack these end-to-end and most NIS2 Directive programmes need a minimum runway of 12–16 weeks. Compress one block and you have to either parallelise the others or accept residual risk on the back end.
