Stay prepared, even as the organization changes
For organizations that don’t want crisis response as a one-off exercise, but as a permanent part of governance. With Program, you practice periodically, evaluate specifically, and improve step-by-step, so that response becomes predictable and your organization demonstrably grows in crisis proficiency.
Our valued customers:
When is a Program the right fit?
For organizations that already have a foundation and now want to steer towards continuous improvement, with visible progress and management embedding.
Program is a fit if you:
- want to embed crisis response in governance (not dependent on a single person or project)
- want to practice periodically with fixed rhythms, so that response becomes 'muscle memory'
- want to make progress demonstrable (internally, to auditors/the board, or chain partners)
- want multiple teams/locations/chain partners to collaborate consistently
Program is not a fit if you:
- cannot or do not want to commit to a rhythm (time, people, ownership); structural work only works with repetition
- want to conduct a chain exercise at an event with suppliers → start with Event
- have never practiced before and do not yet have internal support for it → start with Exercise
- want to realistically test your own plan/runbooks once first → start with Program
An exercise without follow-up changes nothing
Many organizations practice once, write an evaluation, and move on. But crisis proficiency only grows if you practice regularly, report back to governance, and actually implement improvements. Without a rhythm, knowledge fades, ownership becomes fragmented, and response remains dependent on whoever happens to have experience at the time.
Crisis proficiency as a fixed rhythm in your governance
You practice at fixed intervals, evaluate decision-making and collaboration sharply, and translate this into concrete improvement actions that are actually implemented. And then tested again. The result: predictable action under pressure and demonstrable growth, not dependent on coincidental experience.
This is how it works:
Within Program, you conduct prepared cyber crisis exercises in which your own approach is realistically tested. Based on scenarios that fit your organization or sector, the crisis team executes the plan as intended. This makes it visible what works, what is missing, and what needs to be adjusted, so that the next exercise demonstrably goes better.

Frequently asked questions
Program is a recurring exercise and improvement cycle for organizations that want cyber crisis readiness embedded in governance rather than treated as a one-off. It combines periodic practice, sharp evaluation, and demonstrable improvement actions.
A Program's duration ranges from half a year to multiple years, tailored to the organization's needs, and can be delivered physically, hybrid, or fully online.
Exercise and Simulation are single sessions focused on a specific skill or plan test. Program embeds practicing as a fixed rhythm in governance, with repeated cycles, structured evaluation, and tracked improvement over time.
Yes. NIS2 requires demonstrable, periodic testing of business continuity plans, not a one-off exercise. Program's recurring cycle with documented evaluations and improvements provides the ongoing evidence regulators expect.
Yes, Program can involve multiple teams, locations, or chain partners collaborating consistently across the recurring exercise cycle, rather than practicing in isolation.
Program is priced as an ongoing engagement, typically spanning half a year to multiple years, rather than a single session fee. Scope and cost are tailored to exercise frequency, team composition, and whether chain partners are included.
Each exercise cycle within a Program is evaluated for decision-making and collaboration, translated into concrete improvement actions, and then tested again in the next cycle, creating a documented, demonstrable growth path over time.
