A crisis doesn't stop at your own front door
When a supplier, IT partner, or other link in the chain fails, it directly impacts your operations. With Chain, you practice together with chain partners how to communicate, coordinate, and make decisions when digital disruption has chain-wide impact. This prevents every party from responding in isolation while the continuity of the entire chain is at stake.

When does Chain fit?
For organisations that are ready to tackle a crisis exercise together with their chain, to ensure cyber resilience beyond the boundaries of their own organisation.
Chain fits if you:
- Are dependent on suppliers, delivery partners, or other chain parties for critical processes
- Notice that an incident at one party directly affects multiple organisations
- Don't just want assurance on paper, but want to see whether crisis processes across the chain actually work
- Want to improve information sharing, escalation, and mutual decision-making between chain parties
- Need to take chain dependencies more seriously due to NIS2, DORA, or governance requirements
Chain does not fit if you:
- Only want to train your internal crisis team without external parties involved
- Are still in the awareness phase and want to build internal familiarity with cyber crisis first — Event or Exercise is a better fit
- Already have an established, multi-year exercise cycle with chain partners and are primarily looking for rhythm and continuity — Program is a better fit
You can have your own crisis plan in order and still get stuck in the chain
Many organisations have made internal arrangements for cyber incidents, but lack visibility into how suppliers, partners, and other chain parties act once pressure mounts. In practice, it turns out that escalation paths don’t align, information is shared too late, and responsibilities are interpreted differently than originally assumed.
From separate organisations to one working crisis response
With Chain, you practice a realistic crisis scenario together with relevant chain parties, making dependencies, decision-making, and information exchange immediately visible. It also reveals where crisis plans of individual parties don’t align or show gaps when the chain as a whole comes under pressure. Not to determine who is at fault, but to establish whether the chain as a whole can continue to function when it matters most.

How Chain works in practice
One organisation within the chain takes the initiative for a joint exercise. That party identifies the relevant chain partners and makes initial contact. After that, CCRC takes over: organising a chain exercise requires significant time and coordination, and that is exactly where we take the burden off your hands completely.
As an independent party with extensive experience in chain projects, we bring parties together, make mutual agreements workable, and ensure an efficient exercise setup tailored to the dependencies within the chain.
Practical information
A prepared chain exercise with multiple organisations, physically guided by experienced CCRC crisis professionals, tailored to the chain, sector, and dependencies in question.
Format
Multiple organisations jointly practise a realistic cyber crisis scenario in which disruption at one party has consequences for the rest of the chain. The emphasis is on decision-making, information sharing, escalation, and continuity across organisational boundaries.
What you gain
You gain better insight into chain dependencies, improve collaboration and information sharing between parties, and make crisis processes demonstrably stronger toward your board, supervisors, and partners.
We help every type of organization with the right cyber crisis exercise
Event – an interactive crisis experience
For organizations, industry associations, and events where people want to experience for the first time what a cyber crisis truly means. In a short, interactive session, we’ll help you experience the impact of pressure, uncertainty, and coordination, possibly in collaboration with your supply chain partners.
Result: reality check, sense of urgency and first points for improvement.
Exercise – understanding together what needs to be done
For teams that need a shared understanding of roles, mandates, and initial actions during a cyber incident. We clarify who does what, when, and why – also suitable for practicing with chain partners.
Result: insight into whether everyone knows what is expected of him or her, and where the gaps are.
Simulation – practice realistically with your own plan
For organizations with existing plans and runbooks that want to know if they work under real pressure. We practice realistic scenarios based on your context and refine what proves impossible in practice.
Result: plans that work and a team that can execute them.
Program – structural improvement
For organizations that want to establish cyber crisis readiness as an ongoing capability. We develop a regular exercise and improvement cycle, including evaluation, repetition, and collaboration.
Result: ingrained routines, measurable progress and predictable response.
Chain – practising where dependency becomes risk
For organisations that want to practise together with suppliers, partners, or other chain parties how a cyber crisis plays out across the chain. We bring parties together and test how information sharing, decision-making, and continuity actually work beyond organisational boundaries.
Result: less uncertainty, better collaboration, and more control over chain continuity.
