Critical Incident Readiness in One Simple Tool
Cyber Incident Response Planning Scorecard
Assess your incident response maturity across 16 critical controls in under 15 minutes.
Not sure where your plan falls short? This scorecard highlights blind spots, benchmarks your maturity and helps you build a response strategy your board will back.
How resilient is your plan, really?
Most organisations have an incident response plan. But few know how resilient it really is.
This scorecard helps IT and InfoSec leaders quickly identify the gaps that matter. The ones that slow you down, expose you to regulatory risk or leave your plan unusable when the pressure’s on.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or reviewing a long-standing Incident Response Plan, this tool gives you a fast, structured way to benchmark your current position and focus on what actually needs fixing.
Build a clearer picture of your readiness + the story your board needs to hear.

Why it matters
Regulators expect structured, tested, documented incident response planning. So does your board. So do your customers.
But most plans fall short in the details. Out-of-hours contact structures, decision ownership, recovery testing, regulatory triggers. This tool helps you surface those issues before they matter most.
