Tabletop Scenario Generator
Pick your industry, company size, and attack vector. Generate a roughly one-hour, multi-role tabletop scenario, structured by phase, with explicit prompts for the business roles outside IT and cybersecurity that actually shape outcomes during a real cyber crisis.
No login. The generator runs in your browser. For a full facilitated executive tabletop with regulator role-play, after-action report, and IR coordination, contact Mark.
Roughly 60 minutes of structured tabletop content across three phases and ten roles.
Useful for an internal directional rehearsal. A full facilitated executive tabletop runs 90 minutes to two hours, with regulator role-play, IR / legal / PR coordination, and a written readiness report. Contact Mark for the real exercise.
Why Multi-Role Tabletops Beat IT-Only Drills
In real cyber crises, the decisions that determine whether a company recovers cleanly are not made by the IT or security team alone. They are made by the CEO, CFO, General Counsel, Communications, HR, Operations, and the Audit Committee, often within the first 90 minutes. Yet most tabletops still rehearse only the technical containment path. That mismatch is why so many otherwise prepared organizations stumble when a real incident hits.
This generator builds a roughly 60-minute scenario structured around three phases (alert, escalation, day-one strategic), with named decision prompts for ten roles and a debrief framework. It is drawn from Mark Lynd’s pattern across 150+ executive tabletops. For the full 90-to-120 minute exercise with after-action report, you will want a facilitator.
