Tabletop exercises and incident preparation
At SafeAdvisory, we know how to get your team prepared to respond to an incident.
Our comprehensive programmes scale so they’re just right for your team, organisation and the threats you face.
The SafeAdvisory team has significant incident experience from across cyber and beyond. We take the lessons our previous experience alongside years of running tabletop exercises to tailor the right solution for your organisation.
Our team includes industry leaders in incident response, security communications, payment card security, and application security.
We’re not just picking something off the shelf, our exercises are customised for your organisation. We develop tabletop exercises with actionable outcomes and outputs at the centre so you always get what you need and we specialise in extended programmes that build incremental change and test different scenarios and audiences.
Why prepare for incidents with tabletop exercises?
Prepare executives and boards for incidents, including refining the decision making process
Incident preparation is critical for meeting industry standards and making sure the standard’s requirements are met
Improve how your team collaborates by building relationships before they jump into an incident response
Test the gap between how an incident works on paper, and how it plays out in a realistic scenario
Make sure roles and responsibilities are clear and have been practiced
Improve security awareness across your organisation by letting more people see the inner workings of an incident
What does working with SafeAdvisory look like?
-
We’re not rolling out a pre-canned scenario that doesn’t fit with your team or challenges, instead we work with your team to understand the pain points and use the exercise programme to tackle them
We meet you where you are and help you get to where you need to be by assessing your incident response, disaster recovery and business continuity plans to identify areas to test
If there aren’t plans in place we can use the exercise programme to identify areas to prioritise and articulate how the process works
-
Our experienced facilitators work to build up the team and help them stay on track
We use carefully tailored scenarios with injects to keep the situation evolving
We work with the internal team to make sure everyone in the exercise has a role to play
Our approach is flexible enough to be able to follow and capture salient points that come up in the moment, and rigid enough to keep everyone on track and make sure everyone has space to contribute
We’re focused on people feeling good so we have a clear, effective and empathetic debrief for every session
-
We’re committed to our exercise programme delivering actionable outcomes
Our reporting clearly outlines the discussion and information discovered in the process. These are translated into prioritised follow up actions
We know that a report of actions can be daunting, especially early in your incident response journey, so there is always additional consultant support available.
As a small consultancy we recognise the need to get someone in to get the actions delivered. We can identify the follow up work at the right size and scale to be meaningful for your business.
