TABLETOP EXERCISES

Run Tabletop Exercises. Create Testing Evidence.

Continuity Strength tabletop exercise platform showing scenario cards and facilitator tools

Run realistic vendor failures and business continuity disruptions without building scenarios from scratch. Test your team, capture what happened, and have testing evidence to share when asked.

No consultants. No prep work. Start in minutes.

Built by risk practitioners. Used by teams that need to show testing evidence for audits, customer reviews, and internal reporting.

Why Tabletop Exercises Fall Apart

Not because teams do not care. Because scenario creation eats the calendar.

  • Plans look great on paper. But has your team actually walked through a vendor ransomware scenario? Theory meets reality in tabletop exercises.
  • Scenario prep takes too long. Stakeholder alignment, rewrites, and "one more tweak" delays the test for months.
  • Testing evidence is inconsistent. Different facilitators and formats make it harder to show maturity over time to auditors.
  • Pressure is missing. Teams talk through responses instead of proving they can execute under time constraints and cascading failures.

Choose Your Focus Area

Select vendor resilience, internal BCP, or bundle both for complete coverage.

For third-party risk teams

Vendor Resilience Exercises

Test third-party risk readiness. Validate your response when critical vendors fail.

  • 50 vendor crisis scenarios: payment processor failures, supply chain disruptions, cloud outages, data breaches
  • Complications that add pressure and expose gaps in how your team responds
  • Pre-built records to capture what happened during each exercise

Use when: testing how your team responds to vendor failures and third-party disruptions.

For BCP practitioners

Internal BCP Exercises

Build business continuity muscle. Validate your internal crisis response under pressure.

  • 50 internal crisis scenarios: ransomware attacks, key personnel loss, natural disasters, regulatory crises
  • Complications that test adaptability and expose planning gaps under pressure
  • Pre-built records to capture what happened during each exercise

Use when: proving your continuity plan works in practice, not just on paper.

How It Works

Run exercises in minutes. Capture what happened. Keep the records.

Pick a Scenario

Choose from 50 scenarios based on real-world incidents or draw randomly. Each covers a different disruption type with built-in facilitation support.

Run the Exercise

Built-in timer keeps things focused. Introduce unexpected complications mid-exercise to add pressure and test real decision-making. No facilitator training needed.

Capture What Happened

Pre-built records capture participants, decisions, and gaps in a consistent format. This is what turns testing into testing evidence you can share when asked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the tabletop exercises?

After purchase, you receive access codes for digital access. Use on screen for remote exercises or print scenarios for in-person sessions. Start testing immediately.

Do I need consultants to run an exercise?

No. Everything is designed for your team to run exercises independently. Built-in timer, facilitator tools, and pre-built records are included.

What is the difference between vendor and BCP exercises?

Vendor exercises focus on third-party failures: payment processor outages, supply chain disruptions, cloud provider incidents. BCP exercises focus on internal disruptions: ransomware, key personnel loss, facility failures. Choose based on what you are testing, or bundle both.

Can I use this for audit evidence?

Yes. Pre-built records capture participants, decisions, and gaps in a consistent format. That gives you testing evidence to share when auditors, customers, or leadership ask.

Unlimited. Run exercises across teams, locations, and business units with no per-user fees. The annual license covers your entire organization.

Does this work with our existing program?

Yes. Use alongside your existing business continuity and vendor risk processes. No system changes needed. Works standalone or with the Continuity Strength platform.
