Enterprise Capabilities

Beyond training. Operational readiness.

Scenario Simulations

9 Branching Scenarios

Ransomware incident response. Supply chain compromise. Phishing campaign detection. Insider threat. Zero-day response. Timed. Branching. Auto-scored.

Compliance Mapping

NIST CSF + ISO 27001 + SOC 2

23 NIST CSF controls mapped to team competency. Live compliance score per control. Audit evidence updated continuously, not annually.

Pre-Hire Screening

Screen Before You Hire

30-minute candidate assessment. Compare to your existing team on every dimension. Verdict: strong hire, conditional, or not recommended.

Team Readiness

Capability Matrix

See which team members can handle which scenarios. Detect single points of failure before they become incidents. Shift coverage analysis.

Threat Response

Advisory Pipeline

New CVE or attack technique? Push a targeted assessment to the affected team within hours. Track who is ready and who needs training.

Training ROI

Predict Before You Invest

Model the expected impact of training investments on operational outcomes — incident response time, detection rate, compliance scores — before committing budget.
