CYBERUP.
WHERE CYBER
MEETS CRISIS.
CyberUP Institute prepares complex organisations to manage a cyber crisis when technology, people, processes and decisions must work together under pressure.
Preparing the response. The whole organisation.
Why CyberUP was created
CyberUP Institute.
Part of ReputationUP Group.
From managing crises
to preparing before they happen.
CyberUP grew from an observation shaped by ReputationUP Group’s experience: even organisations with strong technical protection can be unprepared when a cyber incident becomes an operational, leadership and reputational crisis.
Crisis management brings operations, leadership, legal considerations, communications, reputation and business into the same picture. Understanding what happens to systems is only part of the challenge. The organisation must also be able to respond.
CyberUP applies this perspective to preparation, bringing cybersecurity, crisis management and simulation together in a Cyber Crisis Readiness model.

Mission & Vision
Readiness as an organisational capability.
Prepare today for the response
that will matter tomorrow.
Vision
Make readiness an operational discipline.
A capability that can be exercised, observed, improved and embedded in how the organisation manages risk.
Our focus
Technology-driven.
People-centred.
Preparation has value when skills, procedures and decisions work together.
The programme starts
with your reality.
Every organisation has different infrastructure, people, dependencies, responsibilities and risks. CyberUP therefore builds programmes around the client’s operational reality.
Start with the context.
Mission, environment, roles, critical processes and risk profile shape the programme’s objectives and scope.
Connect the functions.
Cyber, IT, OT, leadership, Operations, Legal and Communications work on the points where a crisis requires a shared response.
Put the response to the test.
Scenarios reveal how people and procedures perform under pressure, not just what participants can explain.
Improve over time.
Exercise evidence helps identify gaps and priorities to address and test in subsequent activities.
The CyberUP method
- Assess
Understand the context and starting level of preparedness.
- Simulate
Exercise the response in controlled scenarios.
- Measure
Observe actions, decisions and coordination.
- Improve

Expertise

Group and ecosystem
Distinct origins and contributions.
An international perspective.
A programme built around your context.
CyberUP operates within an ecosystem that combines international crisis management experience with specialist technology expertise.
ReputationUP Group
Crisis management experience.
The relationship with the Group is central to CyberUP’s identity: understanding a cyberattack as an operational, leadership, legal, communications and reputational event as well as a technical one.
Technology ecosystem
Specialist expertise for the project.
Technology, integration and specialist expertise support exercise environments and programmes according to project needs.
The team
Complementary expertise.
Experience across
disciplines.
CyberUP brings together expertise in cybersecurity, operations, governance and crisis management. The value lies not in the sum of these specialisms, but in their ability to work together.
10–25years of experience
among the professionals
among the professionals
The CyberUP profile brings together cybersecurity professionals with private-sector and military experience. Technical expertise, operational capability and crisis governance contribute to the team’s work.
The international experience described spans Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East: different contexts that require an understanding of mission, responsibilities and priorities before a programme is designed.

The quality of the response also depends on how specialisms work together. Operational and technical coordination connects each contribution to the programme’s objectives.
