Security Table-Top Exercise
Cyber incidents are not a matter of if, but when. Security table top exercises allow leadership teams to rehearse responses to realistic cyber-attack scenarios before a real breach occurs. These sessions surface strengths, expose gaps, and build confidence across both technical and business teams — when it matters most.

Our Approach to Incident Response Readiness
Our cyber security tabletop exercises are led by practitioners with deep expertise in real-world incident response and adversary simulation, ensuring scenarios reflect how modern attacks actually unfold.
Tailored Purpose-Built Scenarios
Our security table-top exercises are never generic. Each scenario is tailored to your organisation, designed around your industry, technology stack, critical systems, and crown-jewel assets. We model realistic threat scenarios that reflect how an incident would actually unfold in your environment — not a theoretical one — ensuring discussions are relevant, credible, and valuable.
Cross-Functional Participation
Real cyber incidents don’t stop at IT. Our exercises bring together executives, IT, security, legal, HR, and communications teams, reflecting the decisions and pressures faced during a real event. This cross-functional approach exposes gaps in ownership, escalation paths, and decision-making that are often invisible until an incident occurs.
Expert-Led, Facilitated Workshops
Each session is facilitated by experienced cyber security consultants who actively guide the discussion, challenge assumptions, and introduce realistic injects as the scenario evolves. We test not just technical response, but leadership judgement, communication clarity, and the organisation’s ability to operate under pressure.
Actionable Debrief & Roadmap
Every exercise concludes with a structured debrief that translates discussion into action. You receive clear, prioritised recommendations and a practical roadmap to strengthen incident readiness — covering people, process, and technology improvements. The outcome is clarity: knowing where you stand today and exactly what to improve next.
What You Get from a Security Table-Top Excercise
Delivered from an independent, vendor-neutral perspective, each exercise provides clear, practical, and actionable insights—focusing on decision-making, governance, and business impact rather than tool-specific outcomes—so organisations can confidently prioritise improvements that genuinely reduce cyber risk.
Board-Level Assurance
Provide directors, executives, regulators, and cyber insurers with clear evidence that your organisation is prepared for a serious cyber incident. Our table-top exercises demonstrate governance in action—validating decision-making, escalation paths, and accountability under realistic attack conditions. The outcome is confidence that cyber risk is understood, owned, and managed at the highest level.
Reduced Business Impact
Minimise financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage by stress-testing your response before a real incident occurs. Table-top exercises expose gaps that often only surface during live breaches—delays, unclear authority, poor communications—allowing you to fix them in advance and significantly reduce downtime and recovery costs.
Improved Cross-Functional Collaboration
Break down silos between executives, IT, security, legal, communications, and business leaders. These exercises align technical response with business priorities, ensuring everyone understands their role, when to act, and how to coordinate under pressure. The result is faster, calmer, and more effective decision-making during incidents.
Continuous Cyber Maturity
Each exercise delivers more than insights—it produces a prioritised, actionable roadmap to strengthen cyber resilience over time. Findings are mapped to real-world risk, regulatory expectations, and business impact, enabling continuous improvement rather than one-off compliance. This ensures your incident response capability evolves as threats, technology, and the organisation change.

Cyber Security Tabletop Exercises for Board and Executive Readiness
Cyber security tabletop exercises help organisations prepare for high-impact cyber incidents by simulating realistic attack scenarios in a controlled, executive-led environment. These exercises allow boards, executives, and senior leaders to practise decision-making, escalation, and crisis management before a real cyber incident occurs.
CyberStash tabletop exercises are designed to test not only technical response, but also governance, communications, regulatory obligations, and business continuity. Each cyber table-top exercise focuses on how an organisation responds under pressure — when time is limited, information is incomplete, and decisions carry real financial, operational, and reputational consequences.
Board-Level Assurance and Regulatory Confidence
Cyber incidents are no longer an IT issue — they are a board-level risk. Cyber security tabletop exercises provide directors, executives, regulators, and insurers with confidence that cyber risk is understood, owned, and actively managed at the highest level.
By running structured tabletop simulations, organisations can demonstrate due diligence, validate incident response plans, and confirm that roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths are clear. This is increasingly important for regulatory expectations, cyber insurance underwriting, and executive accountability.
Reducing Business Impact Before a Real Incident
A well-run cyber incident tabletop exercise exposes gaps that often only surface during real breaches — delayed decision-making, unclear authority, misaligned communications, and uncertainty around legal or regulatory actions.
Identifying and addressing these weaknesses in advance helps organisations reduce financial loss, minimise downtime, and limit reputational damage. Tabletop exercises shift cyber preparedness from reactive response to proactive risk reduction.
Improved Collaboration Across the Organisation
Cyber security tabletop exercises bring together executives, IT, security, legal, communications, HR, and business leaders in a single scenario-driven session. This breaks down silos and ensures that technical response aligns with business priorities.
Participants gain clarity on who makes decisions, when to escalate, and how to coordinate effectively during a cyber crisis — resulting in faster, calmer, and more effective response when it matters most.
Continuous Cyber Maturity, Not One-Off Compliance
Each cyber security tabletop exercise produces more than discussion — it delivers a prioritised, actionable roadmap to strengthen cyber resilience over time. Findings are mapped to real-world risk, business impact, and organisational maturity, rather than checkbox compliance alone.
This approach ensures organisations continuously improve their ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents as threats, technology, and business environments evolve.
