- Use Cases

Purpose-built for every regulated industry

CCS scenarios are tailored to your sector's specific risks, regulatory requirements, and operational context - not generic exercises.

Meeting DORA Requirements While Building Genuine Resilience

DORA requires financial entities to conduct regular incident response exercises and demonstrate operational resilience. Traditional tabletop exercises don't provide the realism auditors expect.

Financial systems are uniquely complex: payment systems, trading platforms, customer-facing services, and third-party dependencies all interplay during a real incident.

*DORA: Mandatory since January 2025
How CCS Helps
  • Model complex financial infrastructure including core banking, payments, and trading systems
  • Simulate ransomware, data breach, and business continuity scenarios relevant to banking
  • Include IT, operations, compliance, legal, and executive leadership in a single exercise
  • Test third-party and supply chain dependency scenarios
  • Produce structured exercise data supporting DORA audit requirements
  • Measure incident response time improvement across repeated exercises

Protecting Services That Society Depends On

Energy, transportation, and utility operators face OT/ICS systems with physical safety implications, complex regulatory scrutiny under NIS2, and attackers that specifically target critical services for maximum leverage.

IT and OT teams have historically operated in silos - CCS forces them to train together before a real incident forces them to coordinate.

*NIS2: Mandatory exercises across 18 sectors
How CCS Helps
  • Model both IT and OT/SCADA environments and their physical dependencies
  • Simulate attacks with cascading operational consequences
  • Practice coordination between IT security, OT engineering, operations, and safety teams
  • Test communication protocols with regulators, emergency services, and the public
  • Meet NIS2 exercise requirements with comprehensive structured data

Maintaining Public Services and Citizen Trust

Government institutions face high-value cyber threats targeting essential public services, sensitive citizen data, and decision-making processes. Incidents can quickly become political, legal, and reputational crises.

Response requires coordination across IT, administration, legal, communications, and leadership - often under intense public scrutiny and with external agency involvement.

*NIS2 / Public Sector Resilience
How CCS Helps
  • Model critical government systems, citizen services, and inter-agency dependencies
  • Simulate ransomware, data breach, disinformation-linked, and service disruption scenarios
  • Train coordination between IT, legal, communications, operations, and executive leadership
  • Test escalation, crisis communication, and reporting procedures under public pressure
  • Exercise continuity planning for essential digital and administrative services
  • Produce structured evidence for resilience improvement and compliance requirements

Preparing Forces for Cyber Warfare

Military organizations must prepare for cyber operations as a recognized fifth domain of warfare. Training must span tactical cyber defence, strategic decision-making, and coordination with kinetic operations - sometimes across coalition partners.

*EDA-Recognized Dual Military/Civilian Project
How CCS Helps
  • Model military networks, command and control systems, and operational dependencies
  • Simulate nation-state adversaries with sophisticated, persistent capabilities
  • Conduct multi-organization exercises involving joint forces and allied coordination
  • Test cyber-kinetic interaction scenarios and their strategic implications
  • Validate doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures
  • Support coalition interoperability testing across NATO-aligned organizations

Protecting Patient Care and Sensitive Health Data

Healthcare organizations manage life-critical systems alongside vast amounts of sensitive personal health data. Ransomware attacks can disrupt patient care while simultaneously triggering strict breach notification requirements.

*NIS2 / HIPAA / Health Sector Compliance
How CCS Helps
  • Model hospital IT systems, medical device networks, and patient care workflows
  • Simulate ransomware targeting electronic health records and clinical systems
  • Test coordination between IT, clinical staff, hospital administration, and legal
  • Practice patient safety decision-making during IT system outages
  • Prepare breach notification and regulatory reporting procedures under pressure
  • Meet NIS2 requirements for healthcare essential service operators
- Who It's For

Any organization that cannot afford
to face a cyber crisis unprepared

CCS is used across private, public, and military sectors - wherever a cyber incident could disrupt operations, endanger critical services, or trigger regulatory consequences.
