Breach Response Tabletop Simulator

Walk through a fictional data incident, step by step, from first alert to lessons learned. Each decision shapes a score across containment, documentation, communication and governance. Educational only — nothing you enter is saved.

Fictional scenario

Aurorafit is a fictional mid-sized wellness-app company operating in several regions. At 08:40 on a Tuesday, a support engineer notices unusual export activity on the customer database. This simulation walks through the first weeks of the response. Your choices shape four scores: containment, documentation, communication and governance.

There are 11 decision points. Notification timelines vary significantly by jurisdiction — this exercise never states a universal deadline. See privacy laws by country and the law comparison tool for how requirements differ, and always confirm against current official guidance.
