WHAT IT IS
Talk through the attack
before you live throught it.
A tabletop exercise places your team in the midst of a realistic cyber incident as a guided, decision-based drill. No equipment, no keyboards, just your people, a scenario built around your real risks, and a facilitator who makes them decide, under pressure, what happens next. It's the cheapest, safest way to find out how your organization actually responds, before an attacker shows you.
WHY IT MATTERS
Everyone has a plan. Until they get...
Most organizations have an incident response plan sitting in a binder, written once and never run. The first time it gets tested is during a real attack, when hesitation, confusion, and unclear roles cost the most. A tabletop exposes gaps while the stakes are still zero.
A plan you've never run is a plan you don't have.
The tabletop is where you find the gaps, before an attacker does.
HOW IT WORKS
How a Tabletop Unfolds
Facilitated end to end by OPV Cyber. Your team brings the people. We bring the attack.
01
We Build the Scenario
We build the scenarios the way an attacker would plan the real thing, around your weak points, your assets, and the moves most likely to work against you. The results feels less like a drill and more like a warning.
02
We facilitate the Incident
On site, we walk your team through the attack as it unfolds, injecting new developments and pressure at every turn.
03
Your Team Works the Problem
Your people make the calls: who acts, who communicates, what happens next. Roles, gaps, and breakdowns surface in real time.
04
We Deliver the Findings
You leave with a clear picture of what worked, what failed, and a prioritized plann to close the gaps before they matter.

IT & Security
The technical responders who detect, contain, and recover, and who need the rest of the organization moving with them, not against them.
Leadership
The decision-makers who face the hard calls under pressure: disclosure, communication, and the choices that shape the outcome.
Operations & Cross-Functional
Legal, communications, HR, and operations, the roles a real incident pulls in, practicing coordination before the crisis forces it.
TABLETOP OR THE RANGE?
Two ways to get ready. Strongest together.
They solve different problems. Most organizations need both: build the plan in the tabletop, then prove it in the range.

WORKSHOPS
Turn Knowledge Into Instinct.
A workshop is where your team learns the craft. Hands-on and interactive, our workshops teach the skills behind a strong defense, recognizing social engineering, hardening systems, responding to an incident, and more, led by professionals who have been on both sides of the attack. A tabletop test how your team responds. A workshop builds the ability to respond in the first place.
WHY OPV CYBER
Our scenarios aren't hypothetical. They're how the attacks really happens.
Most tabletop exercises are fun from a generic script. Ours are built and facilitated by cyber professionals who have spent their careers on the offensive and defensive sides of these attacks. We know how an incident actually unfolds, the moves, the timing, the pressure, because we ran them. That's what turns a check-the-box exercise into the most useful day your team has spent on security.
