Ransomware Tabletop Exercise

Test your response before an attacker tests it for you.

You can’t know how your leadership team will perform under a live ransomware attack until you put them through one. In a focused three-week engagement, we design, facilitate, and summarize an executive ransomware tabletop built around your environment — pressure-testing the decisions, escalation paths, and communications that matter most when every minute counts.

What’s included

  • Week 1 — Design: We build a realistic ransomware scenario and injects tailored to your business, systems, and threat profile.
  • Week 2 — Facilitate: We run a live, executive-level tabletop that stresses your people, plans, and tools.
  • Week 3 — Summarize: We deliver an After-Action Report and a prioritized resilience roadmap to close the gaps we surfaced.

Outcomes: Executive ransomware tabletop, After-Action Report, and a risk-prioritized resilience roadmap.

Aligned with NIST guidance

Our tabletop methodology maps to the NIST frameworks your auditors, regulators, and cyber insurers expect:

  • NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 3 (2025) — Incident Response Recommendations and Considerations for Cybersecurity Risk Management. Tabletop exercises are a High-priority activity under the Improvement category (ID.IM-02).
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 — exercises the Govern, Respond, and Recover functions and feeds the continuous-improvement loop at the core of the framework.
  • NIST SP 800-84 — Guide to Test, Training, and Exercise Programs for IT Plans and Capabilities. Our design, facilitation, and after-action reporting follow its methodology.
  • NIST SP 800-53 — supports Contingency Plan Testing (CP-4) and Incident Response Testing (IR-3) control requirements.

The offer: A fixed-fee tabletop package — clear scope, clear price, no surprises.
