Tabletop exercises surface gaps in incident response, crisis communication, and recovery procedures in a controlled environment — before a real event forces the issue.
Whether you're running your first exercise or stress-testing a mature incident response programme, our consultants design scenarios built around your threat landscape, facilitate the session, and deliver a clear improvement plan — not a templated report.
Custom cyber incident scenarios built around your sector — ransomware, supply chain compromise, insider threat, breach notification — facilitated by experienced incident responders who know how to surface real gaps, not just run through slides.
Structured exercises testing decision-making, communication, escalation paths, and coordination with legal, PR, and regulators under realistic pressure. Designed to expose the gaps that only emerge when people are actually in the room together.
Debrief report covering what worked, what failed, and a prioritized action plan to close gaps in incident response and recovery procedures. Outputs include an After-Action Report, Gap Register, and updated Incident Response Playbook recommendations.
Tabletop exercises are required or strongly recommended under DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001 (A.5.24), and SOC 2. Bitsecura designs and facilitates exercises that satisfy compliance requirements and deliver real operational insight — not just a checkbox.
Schedule a CallEvery exercise is scoped and designed around your actual environment — not adapted from a generic template. Here's how we run it.
Agree on objectives, participant mix, scenario type, and success criteria. You know what a successful exercise looks like before we build a single inject.
Develop inject sequence and facilitator guide informed by current threat intelligence relevant to your sector and threat profile. Scenarios are realistic because they're built on real-world incident patterns.
Facilitate the tabletop — structured and time-boxed to surface real gaps in decision-making, communication, and coordination. Discussion-based, no systems touched, low friction and high fidelity.
Post-exercise report with action plan and updated response playbook recommendations — covering what held up and what needs fixing. Findings are ranked by operational risk, not alphabetically filed.
