A facilitator-led scenario tailored to your threat profile and regulatory context, testing the
connective tissue between Security, IT, Legal, HR, Communications, and executive
leadership, not just the technical workflow.
Built around your actual plan, operating environment, and likely threats, not generic theory.
Tests how Security, IT, Legal, HR, Communications, and leadership hand off and decide under pressure.
Every inject demands a real decision with a named owner and timeframe, no decision becomes a finding.
AI accelerates scenario branching and note capture; facilitators and DFIR leads own every conclusion.
Evidence-based gap analysis tied to specific injects, suitable for governance, audit, and insurance.
Designed by people who’ve run real incidents, not generic workshop facilitators.
Define objectives and regulatory context. Review the current IR plan and map decision authority.
A structured platform generates a scenario mapped to the cross-functional decisions you'll need to make.
A time-compressed, facilitator-led session. Injects force real decisions; facilitators observe and log gaps.
Evidence-based gap analysis tied to specific injects, plus a leadership readout with a remediation roadmap.
Single-scenario validation of your current incident response plan and escalation model.
Adds Legal, HR, Communications, and business continuity dependencies to the exercise.
Tuned to industry-specific pressures, disclosure timing, patient safety, or regulated data handling.
every inject forces a real decision with a named owner. No decision means a documented finding.
Legal, HR, Communications, and leadership sit alongside Security and IT, because real incidents require all of them to coordinate.
every AAR finding ties to a specific inject and observed behavior, defensible for audit and board conversations.
AI speeds up scenario variation and reporting; every readiness judgment stays human-authored.
What is an IR Plan Readiness Tabletop?
A facilitator-led exercise that runs your team through a realistic incident scenario to test whether your written IR plan actually works under pressure — across Security, Legal, HR, Communications, and leadership.
Who needs to be in the room?
Whoever would need to act during a real incident. Beyond Security and IT, that typically means Legal, HR, Communications, and executive sponsors — the tabletop tests the handoffs between them, not just one team’s workflow.
Does AI run the exercise?
No. AI helps generate scenario variations and speeds up note capture and reporting. Facilitators and DFIR leads control the session, and every finding and recommendation is human-authored.
What happens if the team can't reach a decision?
That’s documented as a finding, not smoothed over. Every inject requires a named owner, a timeframe, and a communication path — where that doesn’t happen, it becomes a gap in your after-action report.
What do we walk away with?
A structured after-action report with evidence-based gap analysis, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and an executive readout — output suitable for governance, audit, and insurance conversations.

coordination, and decision-making before the real incident arrives.
