Tabletop Exercises (TTX)
Tabletop exercises are interactive sessions where we walk through realistic cyberattack scenarios with your team. Together, we explore how your organisation would respond, identify gaps in your current plans, and strengthen your incident response capabilities- all in a low-pressure, discussion-based environment. It’s a great way to build confidence and improve coordination before a real incident ever happens.
Realistic Scenario Planning
Walk through tailored attack scenarios to evaluate how your team would handle real-world cyber threats.
Crisis Communication Practice
Test internal & external communication plans to ensure clear messaging during high-pressure incidents.
Process & Policy Validation
Identify gaps or inefficiencies in your incident response plans, escalation paths, and decision-making processes.
Team Readiness & Confidence
Build collaboration and confidence across technical and executive teams, preparing everyone for swift, coordinated action.
What Are Table Top Exercises
Tabletop exercises are interactive, discussion-based sessions where key stakeholders come together to walk through emergency scenarios in a controlled, low-stress environment. These exercises simulate real-world incidents- such as cybersecurity breaches, natural disasters, or operational disruptions- allowing participants to evaluate their response plans, roles, and communication strategies without the need for physical deployment.
Unlike full-scale drills, tabletop exercises focus on collaboration and decision-making to identify gaps and improve preparedness across teams.

Benefits of Table Top Exercises
Engaging in tabletop exercises helps organisations strengthen their crisis response by fostering clear communication, enhancing teamwork, and sharpening problem-solving skills in a risk-free setting. These exercises uncover weaknesses in existing plans, policies, and processes, enabling proactive improvements before an actual emergency occurs.
By simulating realistic scenarios, participants gain confidence and readiness, ensuring that when real incidents happen, everyone knows their roles and the best steps to take to minimise impact.
How It Works
Our tabletop exercise process begins with a thorough assessment of your organisation’s goals, risks, and existing plans to design a scenario that is relevant and challenging. Next, we facilitate a collaborative session where your team works through the scenario, discussing decisions, challenges, and responses in real time.
Following the exercise, we conduct a comprehensive debrief to analyse performance, identify gaps, and recommend improvements. Throughout the process, we prioritise flexibility and client involvement to ensure the exercise delivers maximum value and actionable insights.
