The Cyber Incident Exercising Scheme, designed and launched by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) helps organisations of all sizes test the robustness of their incident response plans using simulations that mimic real-life attacks through table top and live play exercises.

Maintaining an incident response plan makes you significantly better equipped to respond to cyber attacks. However, unless your response plan is regularly exercised, it's difficult to measure how effective this will be in the unfortunate circumstance that you're organisation is attacked.

As an Assured Service Provider for Cyber Incident Exercising, our team of seasoned security consultants can help you meet the NCSC's rigorous standards for cyber incident exercising.

We possess the knowledge and expertise required to help you design and run exercises such as table top and live play scenarios and guide you to identify areas for improvement.

Why Do I Need Cyber Incident Exercising?

• Assessment of Response Plans
  Exercising allows organisations to test the effectiveness of their incident response plans. It helps in identifying gaps, vulnerabilities, and areas for improvement.
• Team Collaboration and Coordination
  Exercises encourage collaboration and coordination among different teams within an organisation, as well as with external stakeholders and partners. It helps in establishing clear communication channels and understanding each team's roles during a cyber incident.
• Improved Decision-Making
  Practice in a controlled environment enhances decision-making during high-pressure situations. It allows teams to make better-informed decisions, swiftly reducing the impact of cyber incidents.
• Organisational Learning
  Post-exercise analysis provides valuable insights into an organisation's strengths and areas that need improvement. This continuous learning process helps in refining strategies and staying updated with evolving cyber threats.
• Enhanced Reputation and Trust
  Demonstrating proactive measures and preparedness in handling cyber threats can enhance an organisation's reputation. Stakeholders, customers, and partners are more likely to trust an organisation that can demonstrate that it takes cyber security seriously.
