When a cyber incident strikes, there’s no room for guesswork. Every team member needs to know their role and respond with confidence. That’s where Tabletop Exercises and Testing come in. At Axiom Security, we help organizations strengthen their readiness with realistic, scenario-based training that prepares teams to handle incidents effectively and minimize impact.
Why Tabletop Exercises and Testing are Essential
Tabletop Exercises are simulated scenarios that allow your team to practice their incident response skills in a low-pressure, controlled environment. Through testing, your organization can validate existing plans, identify gaps, and ensure everyone understands the steps to take in case of an incident.
Our Tabletop Exercises and Testing services offer your organization:
A safe environment to practice incident response without real-world consequences.
Valuable insights into your team’s readiness and the effectiveness of current plans.
Opportunities to refine your Incident Response (IR) and Business Continuity (BCP) plans based on real feedback.
Axiom Security’s Approach to Tabletop Exercises & Testing
At Axiom Security, we take a hands-on, tailored approach to Tabletop Exercises and Testing. We work with you to create realistic scenarios that address your organization’s unique risks, helping your team develop the muscle memory and confidence needed to respond effectively to real incidents.
Customized Scenario Development We begin by designing scenarios that reflect the most relevant risks and threats to your business. Our tailored exercises might simulate anything from a ransomware attack to a data breach, ensuring that each scenario is both realistic and impactful for your team.
Role-Based Incident Simulations Effective incident response depends on everyone understanding their specific role. During the exercises, we guide participants through each stage of response, ensuring that every team member knows their responsibilities and can act decisively.
Real-Time Guidance and Facilitation Our CISSP-certified experts facilitate each exercise, providing real-time guidance and feedback. We walk your team through decision-making processes and help them navigate complex situations, improving response capabilities without the high stakes of a live incident.
Debriefing and Actionable Insights After each exercise, we conduct a thorough debrief to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. We provide actionable recommendations to help you refine your incident response and business continuity plans, ensuring your organization is more prepared than ever.
Ongoing Support and Plan Adjustments Incident response is a dynamic process. As threats evolve, we work with your team to keep your plans current and relevant. With ongoing support and adjustments, we help you maintain a proactive stance against emerging risks.
