PreparedEx delivers custom-built services that strengthen your organization’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions. From risk assessments and plan development to immersive crisis simulation exercises, our experts guide you through every step of the resilience journey.

Insight-Driven Planning for Critical Continuity

Effective crisis preparedness starts with a clear understanding of your risks and the strength of your existing plans. Our assessment and planning services provide the insights and strategies needed to protect critical operations and ensure your organization is ready for whatever comes next.

Risk Assessment / Business Impact Assessment (BIA) 

Our Risk and Threat Assessment service, combined with a comprehensive BIA, helps organizations proactively manage risks and ensure continuity. We analyze internal vulnerabilities and external threats to provide actionable insights that protect your operations, assets, and reputation. From cybersecurity risks to geopolitical challenges, our expert team delivers tailored solutions that prepare your organization for disruptions while safeguarding critical business functions. We ensure you’re ready to navigate uncertainty and confidently maintain business continuity. 

Plan Assessment and Development 

Building on the results of our Risk and Threat Assessment, we meticulously craft customized resiliency plans that comprehensively cover all critical areas, including crisis management, emergency management, business continuity, disaster recovery, and crisis communications. We also conduct a thorough review of your existing programs to identify strengths and areas for improvement. We translate assessment insights into actionable strategies that bolster your organization’s ability to respond effectively to any disruption. Each plan is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you are fully equipped to manage crises, maintain operations, and communicate clearly under pressure. 

Testing the Resilience Program  

Once the resiliency program is developed, we validate its effectiveness through tailored exercises that simulate real-world scenarios. These exercises test the response capabilities, identify gaps, and ensure your teams are fully prepared to manage crises and maintain operations under pressure.

Our Strategic Resilience Advisory service is a cornerstone in guiding organizations to develop robust, long-term resilience strategies. Our expert advisors work hand-in-hand with your leadership team to provide insights on crisis preparedness, risk management, and business continuity. Through tailored guidance, we help shape decision-making processes, enhance crisis response frameworks, and align organizational goals with resilience best practices. Whether you’re navigating complex challenges or strengthening your overall readiness, our strategic advisory service ensures you are equipped to make informed decisions and sustain operations through any disruption. 

Ensure Readiness Through Evaluation and Expert Guidance

Developing a plan is just the beginning. We help organizations take the next step by validating their capabilities through real-world exercises and providing strategic guidance at the leadership level. Whether you’re stress-testing your crisis response or shaping long-term planning across the enterprise, these services ensure your organization is ready to perform under pressure and adapt to evolving threats.

Simulation Exercises

Our simulation exercises transform static plans into real-world action. From low-stress tabletop discussions to high-intensity full-scale drills, each format is designed to test capabilities, improve coordination, and strengthen decision-making. We tailor every scenario to your organization’s unique risk environment, ensuring your team is prepared to lead during any crisis.

Tabletop Exercises bring together heads of lines of business and leaders of business processes in a low-stress environment to test crisis management, emergency management, and business continuity. Realistic scenarios are presented in an engaging, relatively relaxed atmosphere, where teams walk through their plans for responding to an unfolding crisis. 

Functional Exercises heighten intensity and pace beyond that of Tabletop Exercises. They focus on real-time communication across a broader set of internal and external stakeholders, allowing organizations to validate key operational capabilities under increased pressure. Functional Exercises are often a natural progression from Tabletop Exercises, testing specific functions and coordination efforts in a controlled environment. 

Full-Scale Exercises simulate real-world crises, testing the entire system from top to bottom. These exercises challenge participants by incorporating all primary operational, logistical, and communication functions. Designed to validate the full spectrum of capabilities, they involve external entities such as first responders, vendors, and government agencies, ensuring the organization can execute a comprehensive response under more realistic conditions. 

Exercises based on war games follow the military’s practice of using competitive, or “red,” teams to simulate actions that competitive parties or organized opposition groups could take to counter or discredit an organization’s crisis strategies and messaging. Competitive war games enable organizations to gain experience managing the sorts of crises that occur in a hostile, competitive arena. 

Drills test discrete aspects of an Emergency Action Plan and are less complex than other exercises. Fire drills are the most common type. Other types include safety- and security-related drills for workplace violence and active shooter events. Drills are beneficial as the first step in the build-up of larger-scale exercises.
