The plan exists. The testing evidence doesn't.
Your auditor wants testing evidence. We give you exercises and capture templates ready to run, no prep work.
Run realistic third party and internal tabletop exercises with your team. Capture testing evidence in a consistent format reviewers will accept. No consultants. No prep work. Start immediately.
Plans look great on paper. The team has never actually walked through one. The first time the response gets tested is when something has gone wrong. Reviewers want to see dated testing records before the incident, not after. Most teams cannot produce them.
Exercise prep eats the calendar. The test slips for months. Stakeholder alignment, scenario writing, "one more tweak." Testing evidence ends up inconsistent across facilitators, formats, and years, and it does not hold up when an auditor, customer, insurer, or regulator asks how you tested.
Realistic exercises and capture templates, built for small to mid-sized teams to run on their own.
Continuity Strength tabletop exercises let business continuity practitioners, third party risk teams, and small business operators test their BCP, IRP, and vendor failure scenarios with the team. The platform provides the exercise inventory, the timer, the wild cards, and the exercise-specific templates that capture participants, decisions, and gaps in a consistent format reviewers will accept. No consultants. No prep work.
Third party readiness, internal resilience, or both.
Select the focus area that matches what you are testing. Bundle both for full coverage.
Third Party Resilience Exercises
Test your response when a critical third party fails. Validate vendor readiness, not just vendor questionnaires.
- Exercises across cyber, operational outage, regulatory, supply chain, financial distress, and people categories
- Wild cards that add pressure and expose gaps in how the team responds
- Exercise-specific templates so the team captures what happened during each exercise
Use when: testing your team's response to third party failures and external disruptions.
Internal Resilience Exercises
Build business continuity muscle. Validate your internal crisis response under pressure.
- Exercises across cyber and data incidents, people and workforce, facility events, operations and supply chain, financial and governance, external and reputation
- Industry-specific scenarios for healthcare, SaaS, financial services, retail, and manufacturing, plus a General view for cross-industry events
- Wild cards that test adaptability and expose planning gaps under pressure
- Exercise-specific templates so the team captures what happened during each exercise
Use when: proving your continuity and incident response plans work in practice, not just on paper.
Pick. Run. Capture.
Three steps. No facilitator training. Testing evidence ready as the exercise runs.
Step 01
Pick an exercise
Choose from a structured inventory of exercises based on real-world incidents, or draw randomly. Filter by industry to narrow to what fits your context.
Step 02
Run the exercise
Built-in timer keeps the exercise focused. Introduce wild cards mid-exercise to add pressure and test real decision-making. No facilitator training needed.
Step 03
Capture what happened
An exercise-specific template guides what to capture: participants, decisions, gaps. Fill it in during or after, and the testing evidence exists in a consistent format to share when reviewers ask.
Practice against your actual risk landscape.
Internal Resilience Exercises include industry-specific scenarios written for the disruptions your team actually faces.
- Multi-tenant data leak between customers
- Production database wiped by an engineer
- AI provider deprecates the model your product depends on
- Wire fraud via business email compromise
- Core banking system ransomware
- Bank run triggered by social media rumor
- EHR system ransomware during active surgeries
- Nurse strike authorized, 72-hour notice
- Medicare Conditions of Participation threatened
- Operational Technology network compromised across plants
- Tornado, hurricane, or major storm strikes a plant during day shift
- Engineering drawings exfiltrated to a competitor country
- Point-of-Sale system ransomware mid-Black-Friday
- Magecart card-skimming script found on checkout page
- Distribution Center roof collapse halts store replenishment
- Ransomware, key personnel loss, facility damage
- Regulatory investigation or examination
- Cross-industry disruptions that hit every business
The questions you answer with testing evidence. Documented, dated, defensible.
Auditors, customer security reviews, insurers, and regulators ask variations of the same questions. Continuity Strength produces the records that answer them.
Three states. You're on one of them.
The Movers
Test on schedule with industry-specific exercises and dated capture records. When an auditor, customer, insurer, or regulator asks for testing evidence, the records are ready and the format is what they expect.
The Majority
Plan to run a tabletop. The calendar slips. Stakeholder alignment pushes the test out. Some exercises happen, but the records are inconsistent and the format does not match what reviewers want.
The Laggards
The plan exists on paper. Nothing tests it. The first time the team runs through it for real is when something has actually gone wrong.
Standalone, or paired with the rest of the platform.
Use Tabletop Exercises on their own to run testing across your team. Or pair them with the rest of the Continuity Strength platform to produce the plan, the testing record, the vendor oversight, and the compliance evidence in one place.
Everything you want to know.
What are tabletop exercises?
Tabletop exercises are structured discussions where a team walks through what they would do during a specific disruption: a ransomware attack, a critical vendor failure, a regulatory inquiry, a key person loss. Continuity Strength provides the exercise inventory, a built-in timer and wild cards to add pressure, and exercise-specific templates that capture what happened so you have dated testing evidence to share when reviewers ask.
What is the difference between Third Party and Internal Resilience exercises?
Third Party Resilience Exercises focus on external failures: payment processor outages, supply chain disruptions, cloud provider incidents, third party data breaches. Internal Resilience Exercises focus on internal disruptions: cyber and data incidents, key personnel loss, facility failures, and reputational events, with industry-specific scenarios for healthcare, SaaS, financial services, retail, and manufacturing.
Do I need a consultant to run a tabletop exercise?
No. Continuity Strength provides the exercise inventory, a built-in timer, facilitator tools, exercise-specific templates, and wild cards so your team runs exercises independently. Start immediately.
Can I use these exercises for audit evidence?
Yes. Exercise-specific templates capture participants, decisions, and gaps. Dated records are produced in a consistent format reviewers will accept, whether the reviewer is an auditor, customer security review, insurer, or regulator.
How long does a tabletop exercise take?
A typical tabletop exercise runs 60 to 90 minutes. With Continuity Strength, there is no prep work, so the time is spent running the exercise and capturing what happened, not building it.
Can I filter exercises by industry?
Yes. Internal Resilience Exercises filter by Healthcare, SaaS, Financial Services, Retail, or Manufacturing, with a General view for cross-industry disruptions. Third Party Resilience Exercises are universal because third party failures (payment processor outages, cloud incidents, regulatory actions against vendors) affect every industry the same way.
How many people can use it?
Unlimited. The annual license covers your entire organization, with no per-user fees. Run exercises across teams, locations, and business units.
Does it work with our existing business continuity program?
Yes. Use alongside your existing business continuity, incident response, and third party risk processes. No system changes needed. Works standalone or with the Continuity Strength platform. Need a plan first? Start with the BCP and IRP for small to mid-sized businesses.
Where do I see pricing?
