EXERCISE AND READINESS
Incident response plans that have never been tested are not plans — they are assumptions. CyberHeals facilitates tabletop exercises that put your security team and leadership through realistic breach scenarios, surface the gaps between what your plan says and how your team responds, and produce a gap list your team can address before a real incident occurs.
FULL EXERCISE SCOPE
Simulate, Reveal, Debrief, and Improve
Scenario-based tabletop exercises for security and leadership
Ransomware, data breach, and insider threat exercise scenarios
Post-exercise gap analysis and improvement roadmap
CyberHeals tabletop exercises reveal communication gaps, escalation failures, and untested playbook assumptions before they cost time in a real breach.

LASTING SECURITY
From Untested Plans to Proven Readiness
10+
CyberHeals delivers IR tabletop exercises across 10+ countries for regulated organizations.
A tabletop exercise walks your team through a simulated incident scenario — typically ransomware, data breach, or insider threat — and tests how your team detects, escalates, contains, and communicates. The exercise is facilitated, not a live technical drill, and surfaces gaps in your plans, communication channels, and decision-making under simulated pressure.
Participant mix depends on the exercise type. Technical tabletops include the security team, IT operations, and SOC. Leadership tabletops include the CISO, CTO, legal counsel, communications, and board representatives. Comprehensive exercises combine both, testing the interface between technical responders and leadership decision-makers — which is where most plans break down.
Scenarios are built from current threat intelligence relevant to your sector and sized to your reality — not generic templates. Common scenarios include ransomware with data exfiltration, business email compromise, insider data theft, and supply chain compromise. We adapt the scenario to your technology stack and regulatory environment for maximum realism.
Within five business days, we deliver a post-exercise gap report documenting observed gaps in detection, escalation, containment, communications, and decision-making. The report includes a prioritized improvement roadmap with recommended playbook updates, training needs, and technical controls. A readiness score gives leadership a benchmark for progress across exercises.
We recommend at least one tabletop exercise per year, with a second if there has been a significant change in threat landscape, key personnel, or technology environment. For organizations subject to DORA, NIS2, or sector-specific incident preparedness requirements, documented exercises are a regulatory expectation and should be run annually at minimum.
Tabletop exercises are fixed-price per engagement based on duration, participant count, and whether a technical or executive scenario is run. A half-day technical exercise is the most common starting point. Combined technical and executive exercises are available as full-day engagements. Annual exercise programs with built-in scenario variation are available at a reduced rate.
