Battle-tested tabletop exercise design and incident response playbooks built by professionals who have managed 580+ real-world cyber incidents — giving your team the documented procedures and practiced skills to respond effectively under pressure.
An incident response plan that has never been tested is a liability disguised as a control. Too many organizations invest in writing IR documentation that sits in a shared drive until a real incident occurs — only to discover that the procedures are outdated, roles are unclear, contact lists are wrong, and nobody knows how to execute the plan under pressure. Mjolnir's TTX and IR playbook services solve both problems simultaneously: we build the playbooks your organization needs and then validate them through realistic tabletop exercises.
Our IR playbooks are not generic templates with your logo on top. They are custom-built by incident responders who have managed ransomware attacks, data breaches, insider threats, business email compromises, and nation-state intrusions across every industry vertical. Every procedure reflects what actually works in a real incident — the decisions that need to be made, the information that needs to be gathered, and the communications that need to happen, in the right order, with the right people.
The tabletop exercises we design are the proving ground for these playbooks. Stakeholders walk through realistic scenarios, execute the documented procedures, and discover the gaps before they matter. The result is an organization that has both the documentation and the practiced capability to respond effectively when an incident occurs.
Effective tabletop exercises require more than a scenario description and a conference room. Mjolnir's exercise designers create multi-phase, inject-driven scenarios that test specific response capabilities, force difficult decisions, and reveal the procedural and communication gaps that only surface under simulated pressure.
Mjolnir maintains an extensive library of battle-tested scenarios derived from our 580+ real-world incident response engagements. Each scenario is adapted to your specific organizational context, technology environment, and regulatory requirements.
Incident response playbooks translate your IR plan into actionable, step-by-step procedures for specific incident types. Each playbook defines the detection triggers, initial response actions, investigation procedures, containment strategies, eradication steps, and recovery procedures for a specific category of incident, written for the people who will actually execute them.
Playbooks are only effective if the people who use them know how to execute them. Mjolnir provides targeted training for every stakeholder group involved in incident response, from first-responder analysts to executive decision-makers, ensuring that everyone understands their role and can perform under the pressure of a real incident.
Every playbook and scenario is informed by our 580+ real-world incident response engagements. We know what actually happens during a ransomware attack, a data breach, or an insider threat — and we build your procedures to handle those realities.
Your playbooks are built for your organization — your tools, your team structure, your regulatory environment, and your risk profile. We interview stakeholders, review your infrastructure, and deliver procedures that your people can actually execute.
Every set of playbooks is validated through tabletop exercises. We do not just hand you documentation and walk away. We put your team through the scenarios, identify where the procedures break down, and iterate until they work under pressure.
The time to prepare for a cyber incident is before it happens. Let our experienced incident responders build the playbooks and run the exercises that will make your team ready when it matters most.
