Frequently asked questions
What is an incident response tabletop exercise?
A tabletop exercise is a simulated cybersecurity scenario that helps your team practise their roles, responsibilities and decision-making during an incident. It’s designed to test plans, not people.
Why does my organisation need an incident response exercise?
Exercises help validate your incident response plan, identify gaps and improve coordination across teams. They also build confidence before a real incident occurs.
Who should be involved in a tabletop exercise?
Participants typically include IT, security, legal, communications and senior leadership. We tailor sessions to your organisation’s structure and risk profile.
How often should we run incident response exercises?
We recommend running exercises at least annually, or after major changes to systems, personnel or your threat environment.
Will you help us improve our response plan after the exercise?
Yes. We provide a summary of findings, recommended actions and a refined version of your plan so you’re better prepared next time.
