Scenario-driven crisis simulations that test your people, playbooks and decision-making under realistic pressure, from the technical floor to the boardroom.
Our cyber exercise service is outcome-driven. We design and facilitate exercises tailored to your sector, threat profile and technology environment, using scenarios built from current threat intelligence and real incident casework. Injects are delivered in controlled stages so participants must decide with incomplete information, exactly as they would in a real event. Exercises range from a short executive tabletop to a multi-day, multi-team functional drill. Findings are converted into a prioritized, owner-assigned improvement roadmap, with re-testing available to evidence that gaps have closed.
A tabletop is discussion-based, with participants talking through decisions around a table. A drill is functional, with teams carrying out real actions in their real tools and channels. Most programmes use both: tabletops to align decision-making and drills to prove execution.
Anyone who would be involved in a real incident: SOC and IT responders, application and infrastructure owners, legal, HR, communications, and the executive crisis team. Exercises are most valuable when technical and executive layers are tested together.
An executive tabletop typically runs two to four hours, a functional drill a full day, and a full-scale multi-team exercise two to three days.
Exercises are simulated and non-intrusive by default. Where live technical actions are included, they are performed within a controlled scope agreed in advance, with defined safety measures and stop conditions to minimize operational impact.
No. If your plan is not mature or untested, the exercise is a fast way to identify what the plan must cover. We can also draft or refresh your incident response plan as a preceding engagement.
A structured exercise programme should generally include at least one exercise annually, with additional exercises based on regulatory requirements, organizational risk, major technology or business changes, and lessons from previous incidents.
Yes. Supply chain and service provider dependencies are among the most common weak points, and key suppliers can join as participants or be part of simulation scope.
Exercises are designed to align with the response testing expectations set out in regulatory and compliance requirements, and the resulting documentation is structured for audit use.
No. Exercises are run on a no-fault basis. Findings address process, tooling and information gaps, not individual performances.
