Run an Incident-Response Tabletop for a Healthtech On-Call Team
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Design 3 healthtech incident scenarios, run a hybrid tabletop with ICS roles, and deliver a runbook update to earn your verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The healthtech (around 200 hospital customers, HIPAA breach notification within 60 days) cannot afford another slow-triage incident — the next one is a regulatory disclosure risk.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design and run a tabletop exercise that measurably improves the on-call team's time-to-declare, comms cadence, and ICS role discipline across three realistic scenarios.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design realistic tabletop scenarios that surface coordination gaps, not just technical ones
- Facilitate ICS-style incident response in a hybrid team
- Measure incident-response metrics (time to declare, time to comms) objectively
- Translate tabletop findings into runbook and training changes
