Why prepare yourself?
Every business should have tested and comprehensive incident response plans in place before they’re needed. Having these plans proactively demonstrates due diligence to customers and cyber insurance providers looking to understand your maturity.
If you’ve been involved in a red teaming exercise or a real incident where your response was slow or poorly-controlled, you’ll know how crucial it is for every stakeholder to know how to act during an emergency.
How we help you prepare
Part 1: incident response planning
Our incident readiness services include helping you put your incident response plans together and reviewing them with your teams to make sure they’re fit for purpose.
When creating your incident response plans, we take the time to understand how your business works. This involves:
- Getting to know your organisation
- Establishing your compliance requirements
- Identifying and engaging your interested parties
- Mapping your key processes
- Understanding your technical estate
We then use this information to create a tailored incident response plan that can be tested regularly, along with detailed playbooks addressing the likely threats to your business.
Part 2: incident response tabletop exercises
Once your plans are in place, we run bespoke tabletop exercises to prepare stakeholders and train them in your incident response processes.
Our incident response tabletop exercises give you assurance that your plans will work in a real-world situation. As well as providing this important validation, the interactive sessions cover all the applicable roles – from first responders and incident managers to risk owners, communication teams and legal counsel.
Covering the full end-to-end lifecycle of incident response, our tabletop run-throughs help you iteratively improve your plans, identify gaps in coverage and meet compliance requirements – all in a realistic manner that addresses your key threats.

Incident response planning is a proactive step that provides concrete improvements in your information security resilience. Alongside preventative security programmes, response planning provides returns by preventing damage during an incident.
Stay ahead of attackers
Gaming through a comprehensive incident response plan is a great way of highlighting areas where you might need to invest more in controls or facilities – before these gaps can be exploited during a real breach.
