    The Gap

    The technical team has rehearsed.
    Has leadership? 

    Decisions no one has rehearsed 

    Materiality, disclosure timing, board escalation — these are executive decisions, and most leadership teams have never practiced them together. 

    A governance gap, not just a security gap 

    SEC rules require disclosure of a material incident within four business days of determining materiality — few executive teams have rehearsed getting there under pressure. 

    AI raises the stakes 

    AI-enabled social engineering and unsafe AI behavior can force business and disclosure decisions before the technical facts are even settled. 

    Leadership readiness is now part of cyber readiness. NCUA guidance
    recommends regular tabletop exercises so boards and management can
    practice their roles.

    Solutions

    An executive decision exercise,
    not a technical workshop 

    A facilitator-led simulation tailored to your governance structure and regulatory context,
    testing how the C-suite, board participants, General Counsel, Communications, and security
    leadership align on materiality, escalation, and messaging while facts are still emerging. 

    See our solution brief

    Executive- and board-centered scenario design 

    Frames the exercise around the decisions senior leaders actually own — materiality, escalation, continuity tradeoffs. 

    Decision-forcing crisis injects 

    Each inject forces a decision with a named owner and timeframe. No decision becomes a documented finding. 

    Disclosure & communications workflow validation 

    Tests how Legal, Communications, Finance, Security, and the C-suite align on timing, messaging, and spokesperson authority. 

    AI-assisted exercise support 

    AI accelerates inject drafting and decision capture; facilitators retain control over every conclusion. 

    Executive debrief & action plan 

    A board- and leadership-ready summary of decision gaps and improvement actions — grounded in observed behavior. 

    Modern scenario
    coverage 

    Ransomware, third-party incidents, AI-related exposure, and reputational risk — handled in one executive conversation. 

    HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS 

    From intake to board-ready readout

    Phase 1

    Pre-session intake 

    Define objectives and regulatory drivers. Review IR and crisis governance plans; map decision authority. 

    Phase 2

    Scenario configuration 

    A structured platform generates a scenario mapped to the executive decisions leadership must make. 

    Phase 3

    Live session 

    A time-compressed, facilitator-led session. Injects force decisions on materiality, disclosure, and escalation. 

    Phase 4

    Post-session 

    Evidence-based gap analysis tied to specific injects, plus a board-ready readout with a prioritized action plan.

    WHY GRUVE

    Built for the decisions leaders
    actually own 

    Built for executive decision-making,
    not technical response

    Designed for leaders who own governance, disclosure, and continuity decisions. 

    Decision-driven,
    not discussion-based

    Every inject forces a real decision with a named owner. No decision means a documented finding. 

    Evidence-based findings

    Every observation ties to a specific inject and logged decision, defensible for audit and board conversations. 

    AI-augmented, human-led

    AI speeds up pacing and reporting; every readiness judgment stays human-led.

    Public technology

    Getting the board aligned before a live event forced it 

    A public technology company's technical response process was mature, but its executive team and board risk committee had never rehearsed a fast-moving incident forcing disclosure, communications, and continuity decisions at once. Gruve ran an executive tabletop around a ransomware-and-data-theft scenario with the CISO, General Counsel, IR leaders, and selected directors. 
    Key results
    • Clarified timing and ownership of materiality discussions and board escalation 
    • Identified a gap between technical update cadence and what executives needed to decide 
    • Exposed ambiguity around spokesperson authority and customer-notification sequencing

    FAQs

    Frequently asked questions about
    Executive readiness tabletop 

    What is an Executive Readiness Tabletop? 

    A facilitator-led simulation that tests how your C-suite, board participants, General Counsel, and Communications leadership align on materiality, disclosure, and escalation decisions during a realistic cyber event. 

    How is this different from a technical IR tabletop? 

    It’s not a responder exercise. It’s built for the decisions leadership actually owns — materiality determination, board escalation, disclosure timing, and public messaging — not how the SOC investigates. 

    Who should be in the room? 

    Typically the CEO’s office, CISO, General Counsel, Communications, and — depending on the tier — board or risk-committee members. The exercise is scoped to whoever owns the highest-consequence decisions. 

    Does AI drive the exercise? 

    No. AI accelerates inject drafting and decision-thread capture, but the scenario is directed by experienced facilitators, and every observation and recommendation is human-led. 

    What do we walk away with? 

    A board- and leadership-ready summary of decision gaps and improvement actions, tied to specific injects and observed behavior — suitable for governance, audit, and insurance conversations.
