Why Tabletop Exercises Matter
Cyber incidents happen fast. Without structured preparation, organisations struggle with unclear roles, slow responses, and regulatory risks. Tabletop exercises provide a controlled, discussion-based environment where teams walk through real-world scenarios to test their response.
Key benefits:
-
Identify gaps in your incident response plan before a real attack occurs
-
Improve coordination between IT, leadership, legal, and HR
-
Strengthen compliance readiness for GDPR, NIS2, and ISO 27001
-
Boost cyber resilience by stress-testing your security strategy
-
Develop confidence in decision-making under pressure
