TABLETOP EXERCISES

Hands-on simulations that prepare your team to respond confidently and effectively to cyber incidents.

What Are Tabletop Exercises?

Tabletop exercises are consulting engagements that simulate real-life scenarios. They’re designed to test your organization’s approach to resolving the problems. They test systems, processes, and procedures along with key actors’ abilities to perform in real scenarios.

Typically, tabletop exercises anticipate major issues that regularly affect businesses, including the following:

  • Cybersecurity incidents: such as ransomware and data breaches
  • Disaster recovery: in the face of server crashes, power failures, and natural disasters
  • Physical access barriers: when you physically cannot reach your workplace or infrastructure
  • Compliance: ensuring that you successfully adhere to regulatory mandates

Tabletop exercises can help you find gaps in your approach, improve your policies, and enhance your general resilience in the face of major challenges.

What is a tabletop excercise
Getting Your Organization Ready

Tabletop exercises are all about proactive readiness. They can help you develop a culture of preparedness. This helps all stakeholders, from IT to executives, know their exact roles in any type of crisis.

The exercises can help you take a critical look at communication and coordination between departments. You can test and refine your response plans. You can improve reaction times by role-playing and going through scenarios until they become second nature.

Most importantly, you can identify many weaknesses before the real deal, ensuring that your plans are as comprehensive and effective as possible.

Get Team Ready

Tabletop exercises are about compliance. You can actively test your ability to stay compliant in the face of a disaster, guaranteeing that you are meeting regulations such as HIPAA.

In some industries, like finance, regular tabletop exercises are a requirement in themselves.

We can help you design and execute exercises that meet and even exceed these requirements. This ensures compliance where testing is required and leverages that testing to further meet standards in your planning, preparedness, and ability to respond to disasters and major events.

Stay Compliant

When businesses take a sober approach to testing, security, and compliance, they often find success. You can build a strong response plan that works well.

Unfortunately, that’s still not enough.

In many cases, the weakest link in your response planning is not in your own house. It often involves third parties.

We can use tabletop exercises to help you evaluate third-party roles in your responses, as well. You can assess vendor security, ensure third-party readiness, and minimize supply chain risks.
