About this service

When an incident hits, the plan you wish you had written is worth nothing. This fixed-scope engagement gets your response capability built, tested and board-approved before you need it, led by someone who has managed real incidents and faced the regulators that followed. What you get: 1.

Incident response plan aligned to your organisation, threat landscape and regulatory reporting obligations (UK GDPR 72-hour notification, NIS2, DORA) 2. Scenario playbooks for your highest-likelihood incidents, such as ransomware, business email compromise and supplier breach 3.

Crisis management structure: roles, escalation paths, decision authority and out-of-hours arrangements 4. Communications strategy covering staff, clients, insurers, regulators and media 5. Tabletop exercise with your leadership team, with observed findings and improvement actions How it works: a three-day engagement.

Current-state review and threat context, plan and playbook development with your team, then the tabletop exercise and executive debrief. Remote-first, with on-site options for UK organisations. Why me: over 20 years of cyber security leadership, former Group CISO of a global law firm, CISSP and CISM.

I have led incident response in regulated, multi-jurisdictional environments and prepared executive teams for the worst day of their careers.
