Rapid incident response support to contain damage and recover faster
A business continuity plan is only as strong as its execution: without real-world testing, gaps remain hidden until it’s too late. Lack of tailoring of business continuity plans often leads to employees underwhelmed and unable to apply the practical lessons learned to their own job.
Lockdown work with internal stakeholder teams to develop Business Continuity plans built around an organisation identified risk register including both Cyber related and non cyber related incidents. Our experienced consultants are able to utilise sophisticated software solutions or develop exercises and curveball injections in a more traditional tabletop format, depending on the organisations wishes or existing access to technologies. This process then reinforms the Incident Response or Business Continuity plans, with full reporting issued post simulation in a feedback loop for improvement purposes and refining of the business continuity plans.
- Tests business continuity plans with real world scenarios and risks Highly interactive and designed to mimic real life incidents
- Tests the effectiveness of Business Continuity plans
- Creates a feedback loop to improve Business Continuity processes
- Compliance requirement under a number of regulatory standards
- Format: tabletop exercise or software-supported simulation
- Duration: scoped engagement
- Audience: leadership, operations, IT, risk, compliance
- Ideal for: organisations that need proven continuity, not assumptions
- What's included: tailored scenario + facilitation + curveballs + reporting + plan improvements
Business Continuity Simulations
Common problems
“We have a continuity plan, but we’ve never tested it.”
Explore problem →Recommended focus: running realistic scenarios under pressure
You’ll get: gaps found early, not during disruption“Teams don’t take exercises seriously because they feel generic.”
Explore problem →Recommended focus: tailoring to your risks and operations
You’ll get: learning that sticks and improves behaviours“Plans look good on paper but don’t translate to real work.”
Explore problem →Recommended focus: testing roles, decisions and handovers
You’ll get: clearer execution across teams“We need evidence of continuity for compliance.”
Explore problem →Recommended focus: documenting outcomes and actions
You’ll get: clearer audit evidence and improvements“Our risks include cyber and non-cyber disruption.”
Explore problem →Recommended focus: exercising multiple disruption types
You’ll get: a more resilient continuity approach“We want every test to improve the plan.”
Explore problem →Recommended focus: building a feedback loop after each exercise
You’ll get: stronger plans and processes over timeWhat this training covers
