About this training

This is a practical, immersive session designed for senior leaders who want to understand what really happens in the first hours of a cyber-attack or data breach, when decisions are made quickly, information is incomplete and the stakes are high.
Using the Polpeo crisis simulation platform, you’ll experience a live, evolving incident that responds to your decisions in real time. Unlike traditional tabletop exercises, the simulation creates genuine pressure and complexity, helping teams test judgement, expose gaps and understand what effective preparedness really looks like.
The session will cover:
– Real-time simulated social media, news coverage and misinformation
– Client outrage and regulatory pressure
– Internal chaos, board escalation and operational disruption
– Cross-functional decision points spanning legal, data protection, cyber, PR and finance
What you’ll take away:
– A deep understanding of what actually happens during a major breach
– A safe environment to test and refine your incident response plan
– Clear insights into legal, regulatory, technical and communications requirements
– Strengthened team cohesion and leadership capability
– Immediately actionable recommendations for organisational improvement
The experience is delivered by CSS Assure (cyber + regulatory data protection consultancy), International legal experts from Shakespeare Martineau and the PrivacyRules global alliance.
Who should attend:
Leadership teams responsible for risk, governance, cybersecurity, operations, communications, executive oversight, or crisis response.
If your organisation is serious about improving its resilience and decision-making under pressure, this session will deliver practical, measurable impact. Places are limited due to the simulation format.
Cost per delegate:
£240 including breakfast pastries, refreshments and lunch
