# Performing Ransomware Tabletop Exercise
## When to Use
- Testing organizational ransomware response procedures annually or after major infrastructure changes
- Validating decision-making processes for ransom payment, regulatory notification, and public disclosure
- Training executives, IT, legal, PR, and operations teams on their roles during a ransomware incident
- Meeting cyber insurance policy requirements for documented incident response testing
- Identifying gaps in recovery playbooks, communication plans, and backup procedures
**Do not use** as a substitute for technical controls testing. Tabletop exercises validate procedures and decision-making, not technical detection or prevention capabilities.
## Prerequisites
- Documented incident response plan (IRP) that participants should have read before the exercise
