Explore how Incident Preparedness links with our Cyber Exercising & Assurance

Cyber incidents affect more than networks and applications — they involve legal, PR, finance, and leadership teams. QinetiQ’s Cyber Incident Preparedness service helps organisations build confidence that they can respond swiftly and decisively, protecting both operations and reputation.

Our consultants assess your incident response maturity and develop a tailored capability aligned to industry standards including ISO 27035, NIST, SANS, CREST and ENISA. We test and exercise your plans to ensure all departments understand their role and your leadership team can act with confidence.

At the sharpest end, we run Red teaming and threat simulation exercises. These replicate real adversary tactics to test not only your technology but your people, processes and decision-making under stress. Findings are delivered in a constructive, board-ready format that builds trust with regulators and shareholders.
