Crisis Lab
Complete platform

Everything you need for your crisis exercises

From the kickoff interview to post-exercise analysis, CrisisLab covers the entire cycle.

Why simulate?

A crisis picks its moment. Preparation is yours to pick.

  • 72%

    of organizations still have their first crisis exercise ahead of them

  • 3x

    faster response time after a CrisisLab exercise

  • 89%

    of trained teams respond better under pressure

CrisisLab (Tabletop Exercise) immerses your teams in a realistic crisis scenario, in complete safety. Facilitators, observers and participants play together to test your procedures, reveal what needs strengthening and cement your reflexes.

Crisis Lab gives you all the tools to design, run and evaluate these exercises: simulated communication channels, inject timeline, real-time scoring, and much more.

How does CrisisLab work?

CrisisLab is an online platform built around four modules that cover the whole crisis cycle: preparing for it, training for it, learning about it, and handling it for real. Lena, the AI assistant, works with your teams at every step. You start with the Exercises module, available today, and add the others as they arrive.

  1. 01

    Exercises

    Available

    Design the exercise end to end: scenario, crisis cell, event timeline, documents for the day and lessons learned.

  2. 02

    Simulation

    Coming

    Play the exercise in real time, with simulated mail, social network and media. Launch planned for late 2026.

  3. 03

    Training

    Coming

    Train your teams in the fundamentals of crisis management and validate what they have learned.

  4. 04

    Crisis management

    Coming

    Run a real incident: timestamped log, mobilised cells, cold after-action review.

5-step workflow

A guided end-to-end process

Every step is structured to produce a rigorous exercise worth showing.

  1. 01

    Kickoff interview

    A conversation replaces the form: the assistant asks the questions and draws up a portrait of your organisation.

  2. 02

    Scenario design

    AI generates a complete scenario matched to your context — ransomware, APT, IT outage, reputational crisis — and maps it onto the MITRE ATT&CK matrix.

  3. 03

    Actors & roles

    Assemble your crisis unit, assign the seven application roles and prepare individual welcome kits.

  4. 04

    Inject timeline

    Build the schedule: escalation phases, multi-channel injects and decision points.

  5. 05

    Real-time execution

    Run the exercise live, from the facilitator dashboard and the simulators.

4 built-in simulators

Simulators that drop your teams into the real thing

Each channel faithfully reproduces the tools a crisis unit uses day to day.

Brought together into a real-time exercise room, these channels form the Simulation module, in preparation, launch planned for late 2026. Scenario design, deliverables and AI analysis are already available.

  • Simulated mailbox

    Realistic email exchanges with named threads, attachments and scheduled delivery.

  • Social feed

    A simulated social feed: posts, mentions, reactions and the climb into virality during the crisis.

  • TV & media feed

    Simulated news broadcasts with breaking news, alert banners and studio control.

  • Crisis directory

    Internal and external contacts, with role, reporting line and availability.

  • Call simulator

    Coming

    Simulated voice calls, to put the cell under the pressure of the phone.

Generative AI

AI at the heart of every exercise

You choose the model provider — up to a configuration operated entirely in France.

  • Scenarios generated for your context and your regulatory regime
  • Choice of model provider, including models operated in France; your documents are indexed without leaving our infrastructure
  • Scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, with an exportable Navigator layer
  • Contextual injects generated during the exercise, text and multimedia alike
  • Generation of the 19 deliverables and the structured after-action review
19 deliverable templates

Deliverables that make every exercise count

Each document is AI-generated, editable and exportable as a professional PDF.

Day to day

What keeps the practice alive over time

A successful exercise calls for what comes next: run it again, build on it, and account for it.

  • Simple or Advanced mode

    Guided paths in plain language for newcomers, full expert screens for those running the show. Simple mode takes over on mobile by itself.

  • Creation studio

    Your inject bank, sorted by category, and shared with other organisations when you decide to.

  • Shared calendar

    Exercises, training sessions and incidents land on a single calendar, shared across every module.

  • AI credits and quotas

    Generative usage is counted in credits, capped per organisation and readable in a usage log.

  • AI cost under control

    FOCUS 1.0 export of AI spend, in the format your FinOps team already reads.

  • The day it is real — coming

    A crisis management module will take over: incident declared, timestamped running log, units mobilised and a cold after-action review. Coming soon.
