Boardroom Breach: The Critical Hours

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.

- 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

- 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
