Who uses Incident Tabletop
From individual security engineers running solo drills to enterprise GRC teams producing audit evidence — the platform adapts to how you work.
Practice makes the real thing survivable
The challenge
Security teams know their runbooks. What they don't know is whether they'll execute under pressure, with incomplete information, at 2am, when their primary responder is on leave.
How Incident Tabletop helps
Incident Tabletop puts your team through realistic injects with real time pressure. Decisions have consequences — not in a slide deck, but in the scenario unfolding differently in front of them. The Incident Commander role forces one person to own decisions while the team feeds actions and suggestions in real time.
Common workflows
- Run a ransomware drill before your next board security review
- Test your runbooks against a supply chain scenario your team has never seen
- Rotate the IC role across engineers to build team-wide decision-making muscle
- Use AI Mode for free-form exercises that test adaptability, not pattern matching
Key features used
- · Branching scenarios with consequence scoring
- · Real-time multiplayer with IC and Viewer roles
- · Action tracker with assignee and priority
- · Decision time tracking
- · AI Mode for free-form responses
Don't guess at team readiness — measure it
The challenge
CISOs need evidence of team readiness for boards, regulators, and insurers — but they can't run a live incident to get it. Point-in-time certifications don't reflect real capability under pressure.
How Incident Tabletop helps
Incident Tabletop provides measurable evidence. Every exercise produces scored debrief data: decision quality, response speed, action management, and identified gaps. Export a PDF report after each session. Build a history of exercises over time and watch your team's readiness trend upward.
Common workflows
- Run quarterly tabletops ahead of board security reviews
- Identify gaps in People, Process, Technology, and Vendors with structured debrief
- Generate AI-produced executive summaries ready for leadership reports
- Track your team's readiness scores across exercises over time
- Run pre-audit exercises to identify compliance posture before regulators do
Key features used
- · Multi-dimensional performance scoring
- · Gap capture framework (People, Process, Technology, Vendors)
- · PDF export with executive summary
- · AI-generated TL;DR for leadership
- · Exercise history and analytics dashboard
Turn regulatory requirements into practice evidence
The challenge
Frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, and DORA require evidence of incident response testing. A policy document is not evidence. A slide deck debrief is barely evidence. You need documented, dated exercises with measurable outcomes.
How Incident Tabletop helps
Every exercise produces timestamped, exportable records: decisions taken, actions created and assigned, consequences observed, gaps identified, and debrief conducted. The PDF export includes participants, scenario details, scoring, and reflection notes — audit-ready from the moment you finish.
Common workflows
- Document incident response exercises for ISO 27001 Annex A.16 evidence
- Demonstrate DORA-aligned IR testing with dated, scored exercise records
- Run NIS2 scenario types (supply chain, infrastructure, ransomware) with evidence trail
- Produce consistent debrief reports across teams, sites, and business units
Key features used
- · Timestamped decision and action records
- · PDF export with full debrief documentation
- · Structured gap analysis (PPT&V framework)
- · Searchable exercise history
- · 14 incident types aligned to common threat frameworks
Deliver professional tabletops at speed and scale
The challenge
Building tabletop exercises from scratch is time-consuming. Facilitating them live is demanding. Documenting and reporting afterwards is tedious. Consultants need a platform that handles the mechanics so they can focus on facilitation.
How Incident Tabletop helps
Incident Tabletop handles setup, facilitation tooling, and reporting. Import your client's organisation profile, generate a tailored scenario with AI, run the live exercise with the facilitator in control, and export a professional debrief PDF. Focus on the conversation, not the spreadsheet.
Common workflows
- Build your client's org profile and use AI to generate a scenario tailored to their stack
- Host live sessions with pause/resume for teaching moments
- Control pacing — reveal injects when ready, not on a fixed timer
- Export a branded PDF debrief to hand to the client at the end of the session
- Reuse scenario libraries across similar client profiles
Key features used
- · AI scenario generation from org profile
- · Facilitator-controlled exercise flow (pause/resume)
- · Professional PDF export
- · Pre-built scenario library across 14 incident types
- · Flexible storage — browser-based, no server required for demos
Understand your blast radius before an incident defines it
The challenge
Risk teams need to understand system dependencies, single points of failure, and cascading impact scenarios — but this analysis often lives in spreadsheets that are immediately out of date.
How Incident Tabletop helps
The Organisation Profiling module and Blast Radius Explorer let risk teams map systems, mark criticality, define dependencies, and simulate failure scenarios interactively. No pressure, no clock, no incident — just understanding. Keep the profile current and let AI generate scenarios that specifically target your highest-criticality systems.
Common workflows
- Map all critical systems, physical infrastructure, and key personnel dependencies
- Identify single points of failure using the Blast Radius Explorer
- Simulate system failures and see cascading impact in real time
- Generate tailored scenarios based on your highest-criticality systems
- Sync your real IT asset inventory from Setyl into your org profile automatically
Key features used
- · Systems mapping with criticality ratings
- · Dependency relationship editor
- · Blast Radius Explorer (failure simulation)
- · Scenario Fidelity score
- · Setyl IT asset management integration
Not sure where to start?
Run a solo drill first. It takes about 20 minutes, requires no setup, and will show you exactly how the platform works — before you bring your whole team in.
