TABLETOP EXERCISE (TTX)

Design the response and identify gaps — without execution.

A discussion-based session where leaders and key teams walk through a realistic disruption scenario to review decision-making, roles, continuity plans, and identify gaps before a disruption occurs. The focus is on thinking and alignment, not execution.

How Does It Work?

During the session, participants discuss:

• What decisions would need to be made
• Who owns those decisions
• How escalation and coordination should work
• How continuity and recovery plans would be applied
• Which policies, rules, or governance frameworks apply

Actions are described, analyzed, and challenged — not executed.

What Does It Look Like?

• Facilitated session (in-person or virtual)
• Realistic scenario introduced step by step
• Structured discussion guided by ARMADILLO Security.
• No operational execution, system activation, or resource deployment

Designed to be accessible, focused, and non-disruptive to daily operations.

Why Is It Useful?

Because it reveals issues that plans alone cannot show:

• Gaps between documented plans and real decision-making
• Unclear authority or ownership
• Weaknesses in continuity and recovery planning
• Misalignment between leadership and teams

These gaps are difficult to detect on paper — but become visible when decisions are tested in discussion.

Who Is It For?

Tabletop Exercises are suitable for any organization that wants to understand how it would respond to a specific disruption.

They are especially useful for:

• Organizations testing readiness for a particular disruption
• Teams seeking a first, low-risk approach to response, continuity, and recovery capabilities
• Cross-functional teams needing clarity on roles and decisions
• Organizations reviewing or designing their response model

A Tabletop Exercise is often the starting point for understanding how response, continuity, and recovery would work in practice.

What You Get

• Clear identification of gaps
• Strategic observations
• Practical recommendations to strengthen readiness and continuity
