Resilience exercises tailored to your sector
Every industry has its own threats, regulators and pressure points. GOVERN delivers facilitated Table Top Exercises (TTX) that put your real teams through the scenarios that matter to your sector — and produce the audit-ready evidence your board, auditors and customers expect. Choose your industry to see what a programme looks like for you.
Built for government and public agencies
When a council, ministry or agency goes offline, citizens feel it within hours. We prepare your IT, legal, communications and emergency management teams to coordinate a response — before the headline forces you to.
Ransomware across government systems
Test how IT, legal, communications and elected officials make decisions in parallel when essential services are encrypted.
Citizen data exposure
Rehearse the privacy, legal and communications response — including the OPC notification call and the public statement.
Election or process disruption
Simulate disinformation or system disruption during electoral periods, where coordination must be fast and disciplined.
Insider threat or privilege misuse
Walk HR, legal, security and IT through a realistic privilege-abuse scenario where the answer is not technical alone.
Critical infrastructure disruption
Test continuity and public safety coordination when water, transport, energy or emergency dispatch is affected.
Public communications crisis
Run a misinformation, media or trust scenario so your leaders can make calls quickly when the agency is in the spotlight.
Tailored to your agency
We map your structure, critical services and priorities, then build a scenario across IT, legal, comms and executives.
Cross-agency, asynchronous
Invite participants from multiple departments. Run live or asynchronously — no need for one massive room.
Audit-ready evidence
Decision trail, after-action report and prioritised remediation plan ready for executive and ministerial briefings.
Aligned with NZISM, the Privacy Act 2020 and your assurance auditors — without months of manual prep.
Book a Discovery Call
Built for universities, polytechnics and schools
When an incident on campus — a serious allegation, a funding shock, a system outage during exams — your leadership has hours to coordinate, not days. We prepare your senior leadership, communications, legal, HR and IT teams to manage the moments where reputation, regulatory standing and student wellbeing all collide.
Serious allegation against staff or student
Rehearse the parallel response across HR, legal, communications, pastoral care and the police-involvement decision when a sexual misconduct or harassment allegation surfaces.
Funding shock or policy change
Exercise the executive response when TEC funding shifts, government policy changes or sector reform forces rapid operational and communications decisions.
Ransomware during exam period
Test continuity, integrity and student communications when the LMS, exam management or student management system is unavailable at the worst possible time.
Research data theft or foreign interference
Coordinate research office, security, IT and senior leadership when sensitive research data is suspected to be compromised or improperly accessed.
Mass academic misconduct
Practise the response when AI-enabled cheating, leaked exam papers or systemic misconduct is identified at scale and the academic integrity decision becomes a media issue.
Student data breach
Run a notifiable breach decision affecting student records, including OPC notification, Council briefing and the pastoral response to affected students.
Built around your institution
We capture your governance structure, risk profile, exam cycle and regulatory obligations — then generate a scenario built for your real environment.
The right people in the room
Senior leadership, Council representation, registrar, comms, legal, HR, IT, security and student services — all training together with defined roles.
Council-ready outputs
After-action report, action register and an evidence pack ready for Council, Audit & Risk, TEC and NZQA reporting.
Aligned with the Education and Training Act 2020, the NZQA Code of Practice and the Privacy Act 2020 — for institutions that need rehearsed decisions, not paper plans.
Book a Discovery Call
Built for patient-care continuity
When patient management systems, imaging or clinical workflows are disrupted, your teams need rehearsed decisions — not a PDF plan that nobody has opened in twelve months. We train clinical, IT, security and executive leaders together, and deliver governance-ready evidence.
Ransomware disables patient records
Practise diversion thresholds, manual charting, pharmacy workflows, downtime comms and executive escalation under time pressure.
Third-party outage affects care
Exercise how operations leaders respond when a clearinghouse, lab, imaging service or scheduling system goes down.
Help desk social engineering
Simulate an attacker bypassing support to reset credentials, then test identity controls, escalation and containment.
Health information exposure
Run privacy, legal, comms and IT through a notifiable breach decision when evidence is incomplete but the clock is running.
Medical device disruption
Coordinate biomedical engineering, IT, security and unit leadership when clinical devices become unstable or compromised.
Mass casualty plus cyber
Exercise incident command when patient surge collides with technology constraints, staffing pressure and degraded comms.
Clinically realistic scenario
We capture your facilities, care pathways and dependencies (PMS, imaging, labs), then generate role-specific prompts.
Train across shifts
Run exercises asynchronously across IT, nursing leadership, ED, operations and executives — without disrupting care.
Governance-ready outputs
Dashboards, after-action reports and an action register your leadership and board can take to governance.
Train your teams to make the right calls under patient impact — and prove readiness to leadership and the Privacy Commissioner.

Built for banks, insurers & capital markets
A ransomware attack on your core banking platform should not be the first time your incident response team has been tested together. We put your IT, operations, risk and communications leaders through realistic scenarios — and produce the audit evidence regulators expect.
Ransomware or core banking outage
Test how IT, operations, risk and communications coordinate when critical systems are unavailable and customer impact is mounting.
Wire fraud or BEC
Validate detection, escalation and recovery when a Business Email Compromise leads to unauthorised payments or customer harm.
Third-party ICT provider failure
Exercise your response when a critical technology vendor, payment provider or cloud dependency goes down.
Data breach & regulator notification
Practise time-bound calls on classification, customer comms and notification to the OPC, RBNZ, FMA or other relevant regulators.
Payment rail or cloud disruption
Simulate downstream impacts when payment processing or cloud services fail during peak volume — including end-of-month.
Insider threat or privilege abuse
Run a cross-functional response across security, HR, legal and IT to contain and remediate misuse of privileged accounts.
Built around your environment
We capture your threat profile, key systems and obligations, then generate a realistic scenario with injects, roles and objectives.
Live, structured exercise
Participants take defined roles. We capture decisions in real time and inject pressure to surface the gaps that matter.
Report, action plan, evidence
After-action report, prioritised actions with owners and due dates, and an evidence pack ready for your GRC platform.
Train teams at scale and produce audit-ready proof — without months of manual tabletop prep.

Built for OT, grid operations & compliance
Energy incidents cascade quickly — what starts as a corporate IT disruption becomes operational risk in hours. We run structured simulations that train the people who must coordinate under pressure, and produce the audit-ready evidence boards and regulators expect.
Ransomware on corporate IT
Rehearse continuity decisions when billing, scheduling or corporate systems degrade and operational risk is climbing.
Remote-access compromise into OT
Test detection, isolation and validation steps when remote-access pathways are abused and OT stability is in question.
SCADA integrity incident
Simulate suspicious telemetry, unexpected setpoints or spoofed signals — and force control-room decisions under uncertainty.
Coordinated physical and cyber event
Exercise comms and escalation when physical anomalies overlap with cyber indicators and site-level constraints.
Third-party outage on critical services
Run a dependency failure involving vendors, MSPs or upstream providers — validate handoffs and contingency operations.
Public comms and regulator pressure
Train executive decisions when restoration timelines, customer messaging and stakeholder comms must be aligned and fast.
Model your operational reality
We capture sites, control-room roles, dependencies, escalation rules and constraints — for injects that feel like a real day on shift.
Train across OT, IT and leadership
Run exercises asynchronously across engineering, security, ops leadership and comms — capturing handoffs and decision timing.
Prove readiness with evidence
After-action reports, action register and audit trails suitable for internal compliance, board reporting and executive review.
Train the teams who must coordinate under pressure — and prove readiness with audit-ready outputs.

Built for plants, OT and supply chains
Manufacturing incidents are not abstract. They become downtime, quality escapes, missed shipments and safety risk. We run facilitated, role-based simulations that expose exactly where coordination breaks down — before it breaks production.
Ransomware forces a production decision
Rehearse when to isolate networks, stop lines or run degraded — with OT, IT, safety and plant leadership aligned on the call.
Remote-access compromise via vendor
Test detection and containment when valid accounts are abused through remote-support pathways into the plant.
ERP or MES outage at peak
Exercise manual workarounds, prioritisation, customer comms and recovery sequencing when core production systems go down.
ICS integrity incident
Run a scenario where controls appear within tolerance but plant behaviour is wrong — forcing OT and engineering to validate together.
Quality compromise & recall risk
Simulate tampered data or process deviations and test how quality, legal, operations and communications coordinate.
Supply chain plus cyber overlap
Train decisions when supplier failure, logistics reroute and cyber constraint collide — so escalation rules are unambiguous.
Plant-relevant scenarios
We capture your sites, systems (ERP, MES, OT), safety constraints and roles, then generate role-specific injects and decisions.
Run across shifts
Train operations leaders, OT engineers, IT, security and executives asynchronously — without halting production.
Findings become controlled change
After-action reports plus a clear action register that documents what changed, who owns it and when it will be retested.
Aligned with AS/NZS ISO 22301, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF — so the evidence has value beyond the exercise.
Book a Discovery Call
Built for contracts, CUI and mission pressure
When an incident touches engineering systems, programme delivery or sensitive defence information, your response is not just operational — it is contractual. We run measurable, role-based exercises that deliver the audit-ready proof prime contractors and assessors expect.
Ransomware on engineering / PLM
Test the trade-off between containment and continuity when design, build and supplier collaboration tools are disrupted.
Sensitive information exfiltration
Rehearse classification, legal and comms alignment when controlled information is suspected to be exposed — before evidence is complete.
Supplier compromise reaches the network
Simulate a vendor update or remote-access breach that spreads laterally into programme systems and shared environments.
Insider misuse of privileged access
Run a coordinated response across HR, legal, security and programme leadership — balancing investigation, continuity and contractual exposure.
Compromised credentials, valid-account abuse
Validate detection and decision-making when the attacker looks like a legitimate user across SaaS and identity systems.
Physical access plus cyber convergence
Exercise security operations when a facility event overlaps with account takeover, remote-access anomalies or data exposure.
CUI-aware scenario
We capture your systems, roles, escalation rules and contractual constraints, then generate structured injects and prompts.
Measurable participation
Bring security, engineering, compliance and programme leadership into the same exercise. Decisions, timing and handoffs captured.
Export audit-ready proof
After-action reporting, action register and a full exercise audit trail — ready for prime contractor reporting and assessor evidence.
Aligned to NIST SP 800-171, ISO 27001, NZISM and DISP where applicable — when reporting clocks and assessments matter.
