Tabletop Exercises

"Prevention is cheaper than a breach"

Test your defenses before adversaries do—with threat-informed crisis simulations

Tabletop Exercise Scenarios

Incident response plans look comprehensive on paper. But when a nation-state APT compromises your SWIFT infrastructure, ransomware encrypts core banking systems, or a data breach triggers DORA Article 19 notification requirements, does your team know exactly what to do? Tabletop exercises from Threat Insights use real threat intelligence to design realistic crisis scenarios tailored to your institution’s risk profile. We facilitate simulations that test technical response, regulatory notification workflows, executive decision-making, and stakeholder communication under pressure. Unlike generic templates, our scenarios reflect actual adversary TTPs targeting financial services—incorporating geopolitical context, regulatory timelines, and business impact considerations your team will face in real incidents. You’ll identify gaps, validate procedures, and build organizational muscle memory before a genuine crisis tests your resilience.

Key Features

Threat Intelligence Led

Our exercises are built from real adversary tactics observed targeting financial institutions—not hypothetical threats. Scenarios reflect how APT groups, ransomware operators, and insider threats actually compromise banks, payment systems, and financial infrastructure.

Stakeholder Participate

We design exercises that involve IT security, legal, compliance, risk, communications, and executive leadership—testing coordination across functions rather than isolating technical response teams.

Regulatory Timeline Integration

Scenarios incorporate DORA Article 19 incident notification deadlines, NIS2 reporting requirements, and competent authority interaction—ensuring your team understands compliance obligations during crisis response.

Realistic Injects and Pivots

As the exercise progresses, we introduce complications adversaries actually deploy—lateral movement, data exfiltration discovery, extortion demands, media inquiries—forcing adaptive decision-making under ambiguity.

Executive Crisis Simulation

Specialised scenarios for board and C-suite focused on strategic decision-making, regulatory interface, customer communication, and business continuity—testing leadership under crisis conditions.

Post Exercise Analysis

Receive detailed findings identifying gaps in plans, processes, authority, communication, and technical capability with actionable recommendations prioritised by risk and implementation effort.
