RESILIENCE TESTING

Cyber Resilience

Most organisations assume their backups and recovery plans will work - until the day they're needed. Through a combination of live technical testing and structured tabletop exercises, we validate your ability to recover from real-world failure scenarios.

The Engagement Lifecycle

A structured approach that combines threat modeling, technical testing, and executive exercises to give you evidence-based confidence in your recovery capabilities

01

Scenario Planning

Custom scenarios designed for your company - based on your sector, infrastructure, and actual threat landscape

02

Threat Modeling

Follow STRIDE-LM methodology to map realistic attack paths and identify what could go wrong in your environment

03

Execution Planning

Work with your internal team to identify what can be tested technically vs. what needs tabletop simulation

04

Execution

Run technical recovery tests on live systems and facilitate tabletop exercises with leadership simultaneously

05

Impact Discussion

Collaborative debrief with all stakeholders - what worked, what broke, and the real business impact of gaps discovered

06

Final Report

Evidence-based assessment with measured RTO/RPO, prioritised gaps, and actionable recommendations

Resilience Framework

We assess your capabilities across all five pillars of cyber resilience, aligned to established frameworks

Identify

Critical assets, dependencies, and single points of failure

Protect

Backup isolation, access controls, and immutability

Detect

Monitoring for backup tampering and integrity violations

Respond

Playbooks, decision trees, and communication plans

Recover

Restoration procedures, RTO/RPO validation, and operational resumption

Scenarios We Test

Realistic failure scenarios that prove whether your recovery actually works

Ransomware Recovery

Can you restore operations without paying? We validate backup accessibility, integrity, and restoration speed when production systems are encrypted.

Data Corruption

If critical databases are corrupted or poisoned, can you identify the point of compromise and restore clean data without propagating bad state?

Site Failure

Primary data centre goes offline. Test your failover procedures, DNS cutover, and whether secondary infrastructure can actually take the load.

Malicious Admin

A privileged insider has wiped backups and disabled monitoring. Can you detect it, contain it, and recover from a secondary source?

Assessment vs. Audit

This is not a compliance checkbox exercise

Traditional Audit

What Others Do

  • Review documentation only
  • Confirm backups exist on paper
  • Accept stated RTO/RPO at face value
  • Compliance-focused output
Our Assessment

What We Do

  • Actually attempt restoration
  • Verify backup integrity with checksums
  • Measure real RTO/RPO under pressure
  • Evidence-based confidence

Is This Right for You?

Best for: Organisations that need confidence their business can survive a worst-case cyber event without catastrophic downtime - and want evidence, not assumptions, that recovery plans actually work.
