“Incident Response Drills: Train Like You’ll Fight”
Global HR shouldn't require five tools per country
Your company going global shouldn’t mean endless headaches. Deel’s free guide shows you how to unify payroll, onboarding, and compliance across every country you operate in. No more juggling separate systems for the US, Europe, and APAC. No more Slack messages filling gaps. Just one consolidated approach that scales.
Most Teams Don’t Practice Until It’s Too Late
Plans live in documents no one reads. When incidents strike, chaos takes over. Drills turn panic into process — but only if they’re done regularly.
Tabletop Exercises Reveal Real Gaps
Walking through breach scenarios uncovers flaws in contact trees, decision rights, and tooling. Simulations expose friction before attackers do.
Cross-Team Drills Build Muscle Memory
Security isn’t the only responder — legal, PR, IT, and execs all play roles. Cross-functional simulations ensure alignment when it matters most.
Free, private email that puts your privacy first
Proton Mail’s free plan keeps your inbox private and secure—no ads, no data mining. Built by privacy experts, it gives you real protection with no strings attached.
Ransomware Scenarios Must Be Practiced Separately
Ransomware has its own timeline, pressure, and legal implications. Knowing who decides what, and when, can mean the difference between recovery and ruin.
Detection-to-Remediation Timelines Should Be Measured
Response drills should include metrics: time to detect, isolate, communicate, and recover. Over time, these benchmarks drive improvement.
Every Drill Should End With Documentation
Capture what worked, what didn’t, and what needs fixing. Convert findings into updated playbooks. Your response is only as strong as your last rehearsal.
