Executive cyber incident tabletop
Rehearse leadership decisions during a simulated ransomware incident or data breach.
- Format
- Facilitated session and debrief
- Your team
- Executives and advisers who would make or inform decisions during an incident
The challenge
Incident plans are usually written by technical teams, but the hardest calls during a ransomware attack or data breach fall to leadership: when to escalate, whether to shut systems down, and what to tell customers.
When to engage
For leadership teams that want to see how their incident plan works across IT, operations, communications and executive management.
How we work
We design a discussion exercise around your organisation and introduce updates as the scenario unfolds. Participants decide who leads the response, when to escalate, how to manage disruption and what to communicate. We then debrief and agree on improvements.
What you receive
- Tailored scenario and facilitated leadership session
- After-action report covering decisions, strengths and gaps
- Prioritised improvement plan with proposed owners
How to get started
Bring your response plan and nominate the people who would make or advise on decisions during an incident.
Plan a tabletop exercise
Questions
Common questions.
Do participants need technical knowledge?
No. The exercise is about decisions, not technical recovery steps. Your IT lead or provider takes part to explain what is technically possible, so leadership can weigh the options.
How is this different from your incident readiness service?
The tabletop is a single, focused exercise for leadership. Incident readiness is broader: it reviews and updates your response plan and playbooks, and can include exercises for several teams.
