AI-POWERED INCIDENT RESPONSE SIMULATION
Run the attack before an attacker does
AI-driven tabletop exercises that walk your team through a real cyber incident, start to finish, with nothing in production at risk.
WHY CYBER RESPONSE PLANS
Tabletop exercises that finally match how attacks actually unfold
Traditional tabletops are static scripts read off a slide deck once a year. Ours use AI to create living scenarios that react to every decision your team makes — so the practice feels like the real thing.
AI as facilitator and adversary
The AI injects realistic events, plays attackers, customers, media, and regulators, and adapts the scenario in real time based on how your team responds.
The full incident lifecycle
Practice every phase — identify, communicate, contain, eradicate, recover, and review — not just the opening moves of an attack
Evidence on autopilot
Every decision and message is timestamped and compiled into an after-action report you can hand straight to auditors, insurers, and clients.
Run them far more often
Because there is no manual scripting, you can move from an annual box-check to quarterly or on-demand exercises without the overhead.
Role-specific pressure
Technical responders, leadership, legal, and communications each get realistic decisions to make — exposing gaps before an attacker does.
Measurable improvement
Track response times, decision quality, and closed gaps across exercises to show clients tangible progress over time.
HOW IT WORKS
Simulate the entire incident, end to end
Each exercise moves your team through the six phases of a real incident response — the same lifecycle recognized by NIST and industry best practice.
Identify
Detect the incident from the first anomaly. Your team triages alerts, scopes the impact, and determines what they are actually facing.
Communicate
Notify the right people at the right time — leadership, customers, regulators, insurers, and the public — with the AI role-playing each stakeholder.
Contain
Stop the spread. Isolate affected systems, cut off attacker access, and make the hard calls under realistic time pressure.
Eradicate
Remove the threat completely — root out persistence, close the entry point, and confirm the environment is clean.
Recover
Restore operations safely, validate systems, and return to business as usual without reintroducing the threat.
Lessons Learned
Close the loop with an AI-generated after-action report that captures what worked, what failed, and the gaps to fix next.
SCENARIOS
Practice against the attacks that actually hit
Choose from a growing library of realistic threat scenarios, each tuned to your client's industry, size, and technology stack.

Cloud & SaaS Account Takeover
For MSPs & vCIOs
A new recurring service line your clients already need
Stop building tabletop content from scratch for every client. Deliver professional, repeatable exercises at scale — and turn incident readiness into a differentiated, revenue-generating service.
✓ Deliver to every client, not just the biggest. Standardized, ready-to-run exercises make readiness affordable across your whole book.
✓ Strengthen QBRs and vCIO reviews. Walk into every business review with concrete evidence of security maturity and a clear roadmap of gaps to close.
✓ Justify the security stack. Nothing sells the next control like a client watching their own team struggle in a realistic simulation.
✓ Help clients qualify for cyber insurance. Documented testing supports insurability and can strengthen renewal conversations

COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY
Satisfy regulatory requirements with documented proof
Most security frameworks and regulations expect organizations to test their incident response plans regularly — and to prove they did. Cyber Response Plans produces a timestamped record of every exercise, giving you audit-ready evidence that testing happened and that your team is prepared.
From healthcare and payments to critical infrastructure and cyber-insurance underwriting, regular tabletop testing is increasingly expected — not optional. Our exercises map to the incident response and testing expectations across common frameworks:
NIST CSF
HIPAA
PCI DSS
SOC 2
GDPR
Cyber Insurance
CIS Controls
ISO 27001
Cyber Response Plans provides testing and documentation to support your compliance program. Confirm specific control requirements with your auditor, regulator, or insurer.
ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a cybersecurity tabletop exercise?
A cybersecurity tabletop exercise is a guided, scenario-based simulation of a cyberattack in which a team walks through how they would detect, respond to, and recover from an incident. Cyber Response Plans uses AI to run these exercises through the full incident response lifecycle — identifying the issue, communicating externally, containing the problem, and ultimately eradicating the threat, recovering operations, and capturing lessons learned — with no risk to production systems.
What types of cyber incidents can you simulate?
We simulate ransomware attacks, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, business email compromise, data breaches and exfiltration, insider threats, phishing and credential theft, supply-chain compromise, and cloud or SaaS account takeover. Each scenario adapts in real time to the decisions your team makes.
Can these exercises satisfy regulatory requirements?
Yes. Many frameworks and regulations — including HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, GDPR, and most cyber-insurance policies — expect organizations to test their incident response plans regularly. Cyber Response Plans generates a documented, timestamped record of every exercise so you can demonstrate that testing occurred and evidence your readiness to auditors, regulators, and insurers.
How does AI improve a tabletop exercise?
AI acts as the scenario facilitator and adversary. It injects realistic events, responds dynamically to your team's decisions, plays the role of attackers, media, customers, and regulators, and produces an after-action report automatically. That removes the manual burden of scripting and running exercises, so you can run them more often and far more realistically.
Why should an MSP or vCIO use Cyber Response Plans?
MSPs and vCIOs can deliver repeatable, professional tabletop exercises to every client without building content from scratch. It creates a recurring, high-value service line, strengthens quarterly business reviews, demonstrates security maturity, and helps clients meet compliance and cyber-insurance obligations.
Does running a simulation put our real systems at risk?
No. Exercises are fully simulated and run separately from your production environment. Your team practices decision-making and coordination against a realistic scenario without any impact on live systems or data.
