Cyber exercising:
The cornerstone of
cyber resilience

Despite increasing investments in security tools, many organisations still struggle with cyber resilience. Why? Because technology alone cannot solve the problem. Studies show that 82% of cyber breaches involve human error. Whether it’s an employee falling for a phishing email, using weak passwords, or misconfiguring cloud storage, the human element remains a top security vulnerability.

While human error is the cause of most cyber incidents, humans are also the solution. A well-trained workforce can act as a human firewall, detecting anomalies, responding to threats efficiently, and preventing incidents before they escalate.

Nortal builds your organisation’s cyber capability through our Cyber Capability development services

Assessing the gaps

The capability gap assessment is the foundation of our cyber exercising offering, designed to align your incident response plan with your organisation’s structure, priorities, and risk landscape. It goes beyond compliance by evaluating real-world readiness—assessing your teams’ operational hygiene, testing individual and team capabilities, and strengthening resilience through expert-led plan reviews.

Training and learning

The training and learning phase builds lasting cyber resilience by continuously strengthening your team’s skills in a dynamic threat landscape. Through tailored courses and practical labs, individuals and small teams gain targeted knowledge and hands-on experience. Our bespoke learning programs ensure lasting impact—keeping teams alert, capable, and confident beyond standard tests or tools.

Exercising

The exercises phase turns theory into practice through immersive, real-world simulations that test people, processes, and technology. Using Nortal’s Cyber Services and the Coliseum™ Cyber Range & Suite, organizations can experience realistic tabletop, range-based, hybrid, and capture-the-flag scenarios. These exercises validate incident response plans, strengthen embedded cyber skills, and build true operational resilience against evolving threats.

Governance, Risk, and Compliance

A Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) strategy ensures cybersecurity is aligned with business objectives, enabling organisations to manage risks effectively and meet regulatory requirements. By implementing a structured GRC framework, organisations gain clear risk insights, allowing for prioritisation, proactive decision-making, and improved threat response. Establishing robust governance models and standardising security practices enhances accountability, adaptability, and resilience. With extensive experience supporting organisations across the public and private sectors, we design and implement GRC frameworks that drive security maturity, regulatory compliance, and long-term cyber resilience.
