A perspective shaped by crisis.
CyberUP grew out of ReputationUP Group’s experience in managing business and reputational crises. It starts with understanding how an incident can affect the business, its stakeholders, its leadership and the trust it depends on.
That perspective informs a dedicated Cyber Crisis Readiness capability: preparing people, technology, processes and decisions to work together as one response.
The starting point
Technical preparedness is not the same as organisational readiness.
When an incident gets past the defences, escalation, decisions, coordination, communications and business continuity all come into play. Preparation must come first.
Our offer
When a cyber incident
becomes a crisis.
CyberUP complements existing cybersecurity investments by testing the whole organisation’s ability to act under pressure. Preparation, objectives, the exercise environment and the interpretation of evidence each have a distinct role.
Operational objective
Business Continuity
Maintain control and coordination during high-impact events by testing the priorities that support the organisation’s continuity.
An objective to prepare for and test, not a guarantee of the outcome in a real crisis.
Exercise environment
Cyber Arena
An environment for exercising technical capabilities, processes and decisions through realistic, controlled scenarios within the programme’s scope.
Organisational framework
Cyber DNA
A framework for observing and developing each organisation’s readiness across technology, people, processes and decisions.
The methodology is evolving. It is not a definitive scoring system, a ranking or a certification.
How we work
Context shapes
the programme.
CyberUP works with complex organisations where context matters. The solution is built around their mission, operating environment, critical roles and the consequences they need to manage.
The whole organisation.
Cyber, IT, OT, Operations, senior leadership, Legal and Communications work together wherever a crisis requires a coordinated response. The programme reflects their actual roles and responsibilities.
Technical depth and decision-making capability.
Defensive expertise, simulation and IT / OT / ICS environments support preparation. The technical response is considered alongside operational consequences and leadership decisions.
Improvement over time.
Exercise observations help identify gaps and priorities. Readiness develops as an ongoing capability, not a one-off intervention.
