Incident Readiness & Tabletops
When—not if—something breaks, be ready.

Security incidents don’t care about org charts or job descriptions. They expose real decision-making: who speaks to customers, who can isolate systems, who has authority, and who hesitates. We help you simulate, rehearse, and engineer those answers before the incident happens.

Why this exists

Breaches expose more than systems

They expose decision latency, chain of command gaps, regulatory blind spots, and misconfigured tech that looked fine last quarter. Readiness is about clarity under pressure—not binders nobody opens.

Reality

Chaos hits first

Executives don’t know who talks to customers. Engineers don’t know who can isolate cloud. Legal has questions no one prepared for.

  • Escalation maps with real authority
  • Stakeholder communication paths
  • Who approves downtime, containment, or disclosure
Gaps

Playbooks without muscle memory

People freeze. They don’t trust the document. They wait for direction—minutes feel like hours.

  • Engineer & leadership tabletop drills
  • Role-playing for legal, vendor, & HR dependencies
  • Service desk & MSSP integration scenarios
Proof

Compliance ≠ readiness

Having an IR plan checks a box. Knowing how to act on it saves your company.

  • NIST CSF IR / ISO 27035 awareness
  • FBI / CISA / regulator expectations
  • Contractual / breach notification triggers
Approach

How Incident Readiness & Tabletops work

We don’t run “checklist tabletops.” We run crisis simulations that expose blind spots and push teams to make decisions.

Phase 1

Context & exposure mapping

We learn how your business functions: core systems, dependencies, stakeholders.

  • Critical services & supply chain
  • Cloud / SaaS dependencies
  • What “offline” means for your business
Phase 2

Scenario design

Industry-specific, realistic attack patterns—not sci-fi.

  • M365 tenant compromise
  • Insider misuse & data exfiltration
  • Vendor breach or ransomware event
Phase 3

Tabletop facilitation

90–180 minutes of guided simulation. Stakeholders act. We don’t rescue them.

  • Decision checkpoints
  • Containment vs. continuity tradeoffs
  • Legal, regulatory, and PR friction
Phase 4

After Action & fixes

Actionable improvements—not “notes.”

  • Escalation map & command roles
  • Update to governance or access model
  • Technical & communications backlog

Tabletops aren’t about compliance—

they’re about being able to breathe when the phone rings at 2 AM.
