Tabletop Exercises

Rehearse real-world cyber incidents in a safe, controlled environment.

Immersive, scenario-driven simulations that put your organisation's cyber response to the test and come out stronger for it.

Delivered as two-day sessions by experienced Incident Response professionals with a track record across UK financial institutions, corporates, and police forces, our Tabletop Exercises are built around your systems, processes, and team dynamics.

Each simulation challenges your team to detect, contain, and recover from real-world cyber incidents while preserving critical evidence every step of the way.

    Why should you conduct a Tabletop Exercise?

    Knowing your Incident Response plan exists and knowing it works are two very different things. Tabletop Exercises bridge that gap.

    • Test the effectiveness of your Incident Response strategy in a realistic, risk‑free environment.

    • Strengthen collaboration between IT, security, legal, communications, and leadership teams under pressure.

    • Reveal gaps in policies, processes, and technical controls before a real attack occurs.

    • Give teams practical experience managing ransomware, phishing, and complex incident scenarios.

    Examples of attack scenarios

    We simulate a sophisticated ransomware attack on your organisation's critical server, beginning with an unexpected shutdown and ransom messages appearing on screens. Your team must assess the situation, identify affected systems, and formulate a strategic response.
