Designed for Realism.
Built for ease.

Every feature in Breachday is built to mimic real-world incident response pressure while keeping facilitation smooth, and to turn every exercise into compliance-ready evidence.

Preparation

Default and CTEP-based templates + a builder for the rest

Your scenario prep no longer lives across a dozen spreadsheet tabs. Start with default Breachday scenarios drawn from real-world public breaches, or pick a CTEP-based sector template and run it today. Clone any template and customize the narrative, phases, injects, and decision prompts to match your environment.

  • Default Breachday scenarios based on real public breach patterns
  • CTEP-based sector templates (Plus / Pro)
  • Phase-based timeline: Detection → Containment → Recovery
  • Inject types: situation update, escalation, decision required, curveball
  • Attach simulated artifacts (logs, emails, screenshots) to any inject

Describe the exercise. Review the draft. Run it.

Sometimes there's no template for what you want to rehearse. Type a short brief in plain English — "ransomware hits our payroll provider two days before payday" — and the AI Scenario Builder drafts the whole exercise: the narrative, phases, injects, and the questions you'll put to participants. You stay the author; it just types faster than you do.

  • Chat-style flow: brief in, complete scenario draft out
  • Asks a clarifying question when your brief is thin, instead of guessing
  • Optionally grounded in your own IT assets, vendors, and business processes
  • Regenerate or edit the draft until it's right
  • Nothing is saved as a real scenario or template until you approve it

Weekly scenario picks from the real news cycle

"What should we rehearse next?" shouldn't be a quarterly guessing game. Once a week, Breachday reads the security headlines and suggests scenarios worth running now — each scored for relevance and explained in plain English. They appear as cards on your dashboard; run one, or dismiss it and move on.

  • Drawn from the week's real security headlines
  • Each pick carries a 0–10 relevance score to keep noise out
  • "Why this pick?" explains the reasoning behind every suggestion
  • Surfaces on your dashboard and scenarios pages — never in your way

Execution

Custom role seats & live facilitation

Eliminate login friction. Participants join via a 4-character room code and claim a role seat your org defines: Incident Commander, Comms, Legal, IT/Security, Operations, or anything else. Facilitators control phase progression, release injects on demand, and capture per-inject observations during the live session.

  • No accounts for participants
  • Custom role seats with org-defined labels and colors
  • Real-time presence — see who's in the room
  • Response modes: vote, freeform text, or read-only situation update
  • Session lifecycle: Lobby → Active → Paused → Completed
  • Up to 8 custom roles on Starter, unlimited on Plus / Pro

  • Per-inject vote tallies, freeform responses, and observations
  • Affected IT assets and BIA processes exercised
  • Facilitator notes and participant roster
  • Branded PDF (with your logo) and structured JSON export

Lessons learned tracker

The exercise is only useful if the gaps actually get fixed. Capture action items during or after every session, assign owners, and track them through to resolution from a single dashboard.

  • Title, description, owner, and status (Open / In Progress / Completed / Cancelled)
  • Kanban board for dragging action items through to resolution
  • Linked to the originating exercise session for full context
  • Dashboard widget surfaces overdue follow-ups
  • Auditors see closure evidence, with a clear trail from finding to fix

IT Asset Register & BIA

Tabletop exercises shouldn't live in a vacuum. Maintain your critical systems and business processes inside Breachday and link them directly to scenarios, so reports show exactly which assets and processes were exercised.

  • RTO / RPO targets, criticality, and ownership per asset
  • Vendors, assets, processes, and roles all linkable together as dependencies
  • Business Impact Analysis with process → asset / role / vendor dependencies
  • Link "Affected systems" and "Processes in focus" to any scenario

Crisis Communication Plans

When something actually breaks, no one should be writing the customer email from scratch. Build pre-approved communication templates for customers, employees, regulators, and the press, then exercise them live.

  • Custom and system communication plan templates
  • Link plans to live exercise sessions
  • PDF and packet export for crisis runbooks
  • Aligns with SEC 4-day disclosure and SOC 2 communication controls
