Exercise-in-a-Box
A complete, ready-to-run tabletop package. Your team facilitates it; we design it.
Exercise design & delivery
An untested plan is a guess.
Most incident response plans are written once and never opened again. We design and facilitate the tabletop exercise that finds the gaps — before a real incident does.
The failure this solves
A plan that's only been read is a guess, not a capability
Most incident response plans are written once, filed away, and never opened again — until an auditor, a customer questionnaire, or an insurance renewal asks whether it's actually been tested. By then it's often stale: the team has turned over, the tools have changed, and no one in the room is sure who makes the call to take a system offline.
A tabletop exercise surfaces that on a Tuesday afternoon, in a conference room — not during an actual incident.
What DGTL does
A path that matches where your program is
Exercises aren't one-size-fits-all. We scale the design to what you need — from a ready-to-run package your team can facilitate, up to a governed annual program.
CORE
Facilitated Tabletop
We run a professional tabletop against the plan you already have.
DEEPER
Custom Exercise + Evaluation
A purpose-built scenario, formally evaluated, with an accountable improvement plan.
PROGRAM
Annual Exercise Program
A governed, multi-exercise cadence that shows measurable improvement year over year.
How it runs
One disciplined cycle, every time
No-fault and decision-focused — the exercise measures the plan, not the people in the room.
01
Define
What decisions and gaps this exercise needs to surface.
02
Design
A scenario built around your plan, your team, and your real seams.
03
Run
Facilitated, no-fault, and focused on decisions — not blame.
04
Evaluate
What worked, what didn't, and why — measured, not anecdotal.
05
Improve
A written plan with named owners and dates, not just a report.
Where the line is
We run the exercise. You own the response.
DGTL designs, facilitates, evaluates
We build the scenario, run the session, and deliver the after-action report and improvement plan.
Your team owns the response
We don't rewrite your incident response plan, run technical or penetration testing, or step in as your responder during a real event. The exercise evaluates the plan as it exists — it doesn't fix it for you.
Deliverables
What you walk away with
- Exercise plan and custom scenario
- Situation manual and injects for the session
- Facilitator materials and evaluation guide
- Participant feedback summary
- Written after-action report
- Improvement plan with named owners and dates
Free insight
Cyber insurance underwriters and SOC 2 auditors are increasingly asking not just whether you have an incident response plan, but whether it's been tested in the last twelve months — and who ran the test. An independent, third-party exercise answers that question better than one your own team ran on itself.
Who this is for
This fits if any of these sound familiar
- →Your incident response plan was written and never touched since.
- →A customer, auditor, or insurance underwriter just asked whether your plan has been tested.
- →You want to know where your team actually breaks down before a real incident tells you.
