Retail
Ransomware Exercise
Situation: A national retailer had a crisis communications plan that looked good on paper but had never been tested. Leadership feared delays would damage brand trust during a real attack.
Exercise: CyberOne conducted a ransomware tabletop exercise with the communications team, simulating extortion calls, regulator notifications and press inquiries.
Results: Decision-making time for crisis communications dropped from 3 hours to just 40 minutes, giving executives confidence that they could protect their reputation under pressure.
Healthcare
Supplier Compromise
Situation: A healthcare provider relied on multiple third-party suppliers, but had never rehearsed how to respond if one was compromised.
Exercise: CyberOne conducted a supplier breach simulation that tested escalation, vendor offboarding and regulatory communications under time pressure.
Results: The organisation developed a new playbook. When a real supplier incident followed, they off-boarded the vendor within 24 hours, with no data disclosure.
Financial Services
Board Simulation
Situation: A leading financial services organisation managed sensitive client data and had regulator notification processes in place, but these had never been tested in a real cyber crisis. The board was concerned that delays or errors could lead to fines and reputational damage.
Exercise: CyberOne delivered a board-level simulation that forced executives to draft and approve regulator notifications while managing a fast-moving incident.
Results: The exercise exposed concerning bottlenecks. With CyberOne’s templates and coaching, the firm streamlined drafting and approvals, cutting errors by 60% and reducing review cycles from five rounds to two.
Legal
Cloud Compromise Breach
Situation: A top law firm relied on SaaS platforms for case management and client collaboration but had never tested its response to a cloud compromise. Leadership feared data exposure and regulatory scrutiny.
Exercise: CyberOne ran a cloud breach simulation, testing detection, escalation, client communications and regulator reporting after a misconfigured platform was exploited.
Results: The firm uncovered delays in escalation and unclear communications ownership. With new playbooks and training, response time improved by 45% and regulator notifications were reduced from two days to under eight hours.
