Week 10: Practice in operation.

Before and after

Before

Your practice handles classic cyber-only patterns. Gordon-Loeb investment modelling is not part of the conversation. DORA + NIS2 + EU AI Act + CCB + sovereign-cloud overlap strains the engagement. Senior Belgian work goes to peers shipping the modern practice.

After

A modern Belgian cybersecurity investment and advisory practice is in operation. Gordon-Loeb framework, DORA framework, NIS2 framework, EU AI Act framework, CCB framework, sovereignty framework, engagement economics framework, client engagement model, practice positioning, sector overlays are all designed.

What happens if you do not address this

Consultants without the modern practice lose engagements. Belgian NIS2 transposition Law of 26 April 2024 active; DORA active for FS; EU AI Act high-risk obligations August 2026.

Who it is for

For senior Belgian consultants, principals at Belgian consultancies, lead engineers at Belgian integrators, fractional CISO/Cyber leads at Belgian firms, and senior security architects at Belgian consultancies.

Who this is NOT for. Pure operational SOC roles without consulting scope. Consultants at firms with no Belgian or EU-customer business. Pure non-cybersecurity roles.

How it arrives

Text-based course via LMS, plus downloadable templates and worked examples and the hand-built implementation playbook.

Time investment. Roughly 18 hours of reading and 60 to 120 hours of consultant effort across the 10-week build.

Why $199 is the right number

External Belgian consultants (Big4 Belgian practices, specialist firms like Cegeka, Proximus ICT, Telenet Business, Orange Business Services België, the firm België, Devoteam België, the firm België, Atos België) charge $200K-$1M for cybersecurity programmes. $199 buys the focused playbook plus the implementation document for your specific practice.

FAQ

Will this replace hiring a Belgian specialist?

Partially. It teaches the modern practice. You may still want specialist input for complex Belgian-EU-institution work.

What if my customers are primarily Brussels public sector?

Modules 6 and 9 cover Brussels public-sector patterns.

Does this cover Belgian-EU-institution security specifically?

Module 7 covers Belgian-EU-institution interlock in depth.

What about Flemish vs Walloon regional patterns?

Modules 1 and 9 cover regional patterns.

What is in the implementation playbook for me specifically?

Gordon-Loeb framework tailored to your specific client mix; DORA framework matched to your Belgian FS clients; a 10-week build plan.
