Tabletop Exercises & Crisis Simulation
Find out how your plan actually behaves under pressure, before an attacker tells you.
Most incident response plans have never been run. A tabletop puts your real people in a realistic scenario and works through the decisions they would actually have to make: who declares an incident, who can authorise taking systems offline, who talks to the regulator, and what happens when the person named in the plan is unreachable. We run two formats, an executive simulation aimed at decision-making and communications, and a technical drill aimed at responder mechanics.
Included in this service
Executive crisis simulation
A board and leadership scenario focused on decision authority, legal and regulatory obligations, and internal and external communications.
Technical responder drill
A hands-on walkthrough for the responders themselves: detection, triage, containment decisions and evidence handling.
Scenarios grounded in your estate
Scenarios are built from your real architecture and plausible threats to your sector, not a generic ransomware script.
A prioritised gap list
Every decision point that stalled becomes a tracked finding with an owner, which is the real output of the exercise.
A clear path from problem to outcome
The same disciplined cycle every time, so you always know what is happening next.
Scope
We agree the format, the participants and the objectives, and gather enough architecture detail to build a credible scenario.
Build
We write the scenario and its injects around your real systems, suppliers and regulatory obligations.
Facilitate
We run the exercise, introduce injects as it develops and record where decisions stall, escalate or contradict the plan.
Report
You get a timeline of what happened, the gaps it exposed and a prioritised list of fixes to the plan and playbooks.
