Cyber Response Planning
Your cybersecurity tools may slow down an attack, but they won’t stop it forever. Hackers evolve. Threats adapt. No matter how robust your defenses, cybercriminals will eventually find a way in.
-
Out-of-Band Cyber Response
In the event of a cyberattack, relying on compromised communication systems not only hampers effective coordination but also increases the risk of sensitive information being exposed to attackers. These disruptions can create significant delays, miscommunication, and confusion, further escalating the impact of the incident.
-
Cyber Scenario Exercises
Our scenario exercises are designed to test how your organization would perform during a cyber incident. These aren’t theoretical workshops—they simulate the kinds of challenges your leadership, technical, and support teams would face under pressure, using tailored situations that reflect your actual risk profile.

Comprehensive Cyber Response Planning
Your cybersecurity tools may slow down an attack, but they won’t stop it forever. Hackers evolve. Threats adapt. No matter how robust your defenses, cybercriminals will eventually find a way in.
The real question is: What happens next?
Will your teams know exactly what to do? Will leadership have real-time visibility into what’s impacted? Will your business continue running—or grind to a halt while everyone scrambles for answers?
Most organizations aren’t ready. They don’t know their critical dependencies, they don’t have a clear chain of command, and their response plans (if they have any) are outdated and disconnected from real operations.
OctopusCRX provides cyber-first response planning that ensures your business is prepared to respond, recover, and continue operating in the face of an attack. Our process is powered by CL360 and uniquely by our Cyber Resilience experts for cyber threats, providing real-time visibility, structured crisis response, and continuous improvement through intelligent dashboarding.

Cyber Scenario Exercises
Stress-Testing Cyber Readiness
Our scenario exercises are designed to test how your organization would perform during a cyber incident. These aren’t theoretical workshops—they simulate the kinds of challenges your leadership, technical, and support teams would face under pressure, using tailored situations that reflect your actual risk profile.
What You Can Expect
Each session is structured to examine the practical effectiveness of your response processes across leadership, security, IT, communications, and legal/compliance. We focus on:
Clarity of decision-making roles and escalation paths
How quickly and effectively teams communicate and coordinate
Whether current plans are understood, accessible, and actionable
How external obligations (e.g. regulatory reporting) are handled in the moment
We assess—not just discuss—how your team would perform if a critical incident were to occur tomorrow.
Common Scenarios We Deliver
We develop scenarios based on your environment and risks. Some examples include:
Ransomware:
A malicious actor deploys ransomware across your network, encrypting critical systems and halting operations until containment and recovery are achieved.
Targeted Phishing:
An employee is tricked into providing credentials or approving a fraudulent payment, resulting in financial loss and potential reputational impact.
Data Breach:
Sensitive customer or employee data is exposed, triggering internal investigation, legal review, and mandatory notifications under data protection laws.
Zero-Day Attack:
An unknown vulnerability is exploited in a key system, leading to operational disruption before a patch or mitigation strategy is available.
Insider Threat:
An employee or contractor intentionally or unintentionally leaks confidential information, raising concerns around access controls, monitoring, and response.
Compromised Vendor:
A vendor or service provider suffers a cyber incident that impacts your systems, data, or operations through shared access or integrations.
What to expect
Our team have experience delivering exercises across both public and private sector and with Fortune100 companies. Here is what you can expect from our team:
A well-structured, scenario-driven session
Facilitation by experts in cyber resilience and incident response
Clear post-exercise insights with practical follow-up actions
Support in refining playbooks, roles, and escalation protocols if needed

Fully Managed Cyber Resilience Service
A structured, end-to-end service to build, maintain, and continuously improve organizational cyber resilience.
Stress-Testing Cyber Readiness
Building true cyber resilience requires more than a policy or a playbook. It’s a capability—one that must be designed, tested, and maintained over time. Our Managed Cyber Resilience Service brings structure and consistency to this process, giving organizations a clear path to maturity.
Delivered as a rolling, annual program, this service provides the essential components of cyber resilience: response planning, testing, benchmarking, communications readiness, and independent certification. Each part is handled by subject matter experts and tailored to the realities of your business and threat landscape.
Our Process
Phase 1: Cyber Resilience Benchmarking
We begin by establishing a baseline view of your current resilience capabilities. Using a structured benchmark aligned to major frameworks (NIST, ISO, DORA, etc.), we assess leadership readiness, technical capabilities, process strength, and overall preparedness. This helps shape the year’s priorities and creates a foundation to track improvement over time.
Phase 2: Comprehensive Cyber Response Planning
We work with you to build, update, or refine your Cyber Response Plan. The plan provides clear direction during a cyber incident, covering internal decision-making, external communications, legal and regulatory obligations, and coordination with third parties. It is built to align with your structure, tools, and risk profile—not a generic template.
Phase 3: Establishing Out-of-Band Response
We implement and support a secure out-of-band (OOB) communications solution, ensuring your leadership and response teams can maintain connectivity even if core systems are compromised. This includes access to response plans, decision trees, and secure chat functions—built for worst-case scenarios.
Phase 4: Tailored Cyber Scenario Testing
Once plans and roles are in place, we design and facilitate a tailored cyber incident simulation. These exercises validate your ability to execute under pressure, highlight gaps in communication and escalation, and improve confidence across your leadership and operational teams. A post-exercise report is provided with actionable recommendations.
Phase 5: Cyber Resilience Certification
Toward the end of the cycle, we conduct a structured maturity assessment, using 300+ data points across key resilience domains. This assessment is submitted to an independent certification body, which reviews and issues a formal Cyber Resilience Maturity Certification—an external validation of your preparedness and progress.
Phase 6: Annual Cycle and Ongoing Improvement
Across the year, we revisit and update key components of your program: benchmarking maturity, refining your response plan, updating secure communication systems, running live scenario testing, and completing a formal assessment with independent certification. Each cycle builds on the last, helping you track measurable progress and demonstrate improvements.
What to expect
Cyber resilience is not static. Threats evolve, systems change, and leadership rotates. That’s why this service is designed to operate on a continuous, annual cycle—bringing structure to how resilience is built, tested, and refined over time.

Each cycle builds on the last, helping you track measurable progress and demonstrate improvement to internal stakeholders, regulators, auditors, and clients alike.
Why This Service Matters
Most organizations don’t lack intent—they lack structure. Our managed service turns cyber resilience from a one-off project into an ongoing capability. It brings clarity to roles, consistency to planning, and discipline to testing. With external certification built in, it also provides evidence of your preparedness to boards, regulators, and clients. More than a checklist, this service embeds resilience into the fabric of how your organization operates.
