Testing & exercises
Run your playbooks as exercises, measure how the team performs, and turn what you learn into better procedures.
Having a playbook
isn’t enough
Execution gets fragmented fast
Having a response playbook does not mean your team is ready to use it. Procedures need to be tested and teams need to practise their roles.
During an incident or testing, they coordinate through Slack, Teams, emails and spreadsheets. People lose track of ownership, progress and decisions.
Coordinate every step
in one place
Cymph executes playbooks step-by-step, assigns tasks, tracks progress, captures decisions, maintains an audit trail and coordinates responders from a single workspace.
With Cymph, you can:
- Turn a playbook into an exercise by starting an execution
- Test roles and responsibilities by assigning steps to the people who would perform them.
- Run the exercise against the timers and collect evidence while it happens
- Measure performance across exercises
- Capture what needs to improve as findings tied to the procedure
- Close the learning loop by updating the playbook and recording the test
From occasional exercises to continuous improvement
Run exercises directly from your response procedures, coordinate teams with clear tasks and owners, and measure performance against timings and KPIs. Cymph captures evidence as the exercise unfolds and turns findings into AI-assisted procedure updates for your team to review.
| Before Cymph | With Cymph |
|---|---|
| Exercises organised across multiple tools | Exercises run directly from the actual procedure |
| Occasional testing projects | Repeatable testing within readiness management |
| Subjective measures of success | Execution measured against timings and KPIs |
| Manual reconstruction after exercises | Audit trail and exercise evidence generated from the run |
| Lessons manually added to procedures | AI-assisted updates using notes, improvements and timings |
| Difficult cross-team coordination | Shared execution with clear tasks, owners and progress |
Testing & training with complete operational history
Using Cymph helps teams respond faster by keeping execution structured and coordinated in one place. With clearer ownership, better visibility into progress, and fewer steps missed along the way, responders can spend less time managing the process and more time handling the incident effectively.
