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

  • Security & IT Teams – Managing technical response and mitigation

  • Legal & Compliance – Handling regulatory obligations and data breach reporting

  • Leadership & Decision-Makers – Driving strategy and accountability

  • HR & Communications – Managing internal and external messaging

  • Operations & Customer Support – Ensuring business continuity
