Tabletop Exercises

Stress-Test Your Plan Before it’s Too Late

From Cyber Threats to Natural Disasters: Tabletop Exercises Prepare Your Team to Respond with Confidence

An Incident Response Plan is only as effective as your team’s ability to understand it, execute it and implement it in real time. At Resolute Strategic Services, we believe knowing your plan is not the same as practicing it. And the only way to build true readiness is through regular, realistic tabletop exercises.

Our tabletop exercises are designed to do more than simply check a box. They help your team:

  • Gain clarity on roles and responsibilities, so when a crisis hits, there’s no confusion about who does what.
  • Create muscle memory for decision-making under pressure, turning theory into instinctive action.
  • Test your plan against real-world scenarios, from ransomware attacks to complex, multi-pronged crises, so you can uncover gaps, refine processes and strengthen your response.
  • Adapt to new and evolving threats, ensuring your IRP remains relevant as risks change over time.

Why Tabletop Exercises Matter

Having an Incident Response Plan is only the first step. You need to know your team can execute it effectively when it counts. Tabletop exercises give your team the experience they need to respond confidently in a real-world crisis.
