Incident Readiness Workshop — Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about scope, exercises, deliverables, and how we help Toronto organizations prepare for cyber incidents with confidence.
What is an Incident Readiness Workshop?
It’s a structured, hands-on session designed to help your team develop and test your incident response plan. We simulate real-world attack scenarios, map escalation paths, and provide tailored playbooks to ensure your organization is ready to respond effectively.
Who should participate in the workshop?
We recommend involving your security, IT, legal, communications, and executive stakeholders. This ensures cross-functional alignment and helps define clear roles and responsibilities during an incident.
How long does the workshop take?
Most workshops are completed in a single half-day or full-day session, depending on the size and complexity of your organization. We also provide follow-up documentation and playbooks after the session.
Do you provide custom incident playbooks?
Yes. Every engagement includes a tailored set of incident response playbooks mapped to your environment, regulatory requirements, and existing security tooling. This ensures your team has a practical, ready-to-use plan.
Will this help us meet compliance requirements?
Absolutely. Our workshops align with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS standards. This helps you demonstrate incident response readiness during audits and regulatory reviews.
Do you offer ongoing support after the workshop?
