Incident response

Incident Response Tabletop

From $3,000 CAD · scoped to you

Most teams have an incident response plan nobody has ever run. The first time you find out whether it works should not be the morning it matters.

Book a discovery call See pricing

We facilitate a realistic scenario against your actual stack, walk your people through detection, containment, comms and recovery, and write up where it broke.

Built for teams that...

  • Teams with an incident response plan that has never been tested
  • Companies whose insurer, board, or enterprise buyer has asked for evidence of a tested plan
  • SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programmes that need the exercise on the record

What we do

  • A custom scenario tied to your threat model: ransomware, third-party breach, insider threat, or one specific to your stack
  • A facilitated 3 to 4 hour exercise with exec, engineering, legal and comms in the room
  • Real-time injects and decision points, so the plan is exercised rather than read aloud
  • An after-action report with prioritized gaps, written for both a board and an insurer
  • A 30-day remediation checklist covering what the exercise exposed

What you walk away with

You leave with a plan that has actually been run once, a written record for whoever is asking, and a short list of the things that would have gone wrong. It is the cheapest evidence of incident readiness you can buy, and it doubles as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence.

Frequently asked questions

How long is an incident response tabletop exercise?

The exercise itself runs 3 to 4 hours, as a half day. The after-action report follows within a week, so your team is not held up waiting on the write-up.

Who should be in the room for a tabletop exercise?

The people who would really be involved in a live incident: engineering, an executive who can make the call to disclose or escalate, and whoever owns legal and customer comms. A tabletop with only engineers in it tests the wrong half of the problem, because the hard decisions in a real breach are rarely technical.

Does a tabletop exercise count as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence?

Yes. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 both expect incident response to be tested, not just documented, and the after-action report is written so it drops straight into an evidence request as proof the exercise happened and what came out of it.

What happens if the tabletop exposes major gaps?

That is the useful outcome. A tabletop where nothing breaks tells you nothing you did not already believe. Every gap goes into the report in priority order, with a 30-day remediation checklist, so the exercise ends with a plan rather than a scare.

How much does an incident response tabletop cost?

It is a fixed-scope, one-day engagement, from $3,000, with the current price on the pricing page. The after-action report and remediation checklist are part of that, not a separate charge.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Exceptions on a SOC 2 Type II built from nothing in-house

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.

The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
