Tabletop exercise
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A tabletop exercise
Risk-based ISMS controls for confidentiality, integrity, availability.
We can run the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A exercise for your team, or set you up as a facilitator to run it yourself.
What the room works through
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A controls
Information security management system. Use Annex A refs (A.5.1 … A.8.34) and domains Organisational, People, Physical, Technological.
- Clauses
- 45
- Rounds
- 10 across two stages
- Room size
- Up to 20 participants
Stage 1 — assess
Tables rate control maturity, agree the risk that matters for the room, then face an audit round where a peer table challenges the call. Every decision is logged against a ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A clause.
Stage 2 — survive
Incidents and complications hit the tables: crisis injects, budget cuts and a concealed insider. Controls bought in Stage 1 pay out — or the gap shows.
What you take away
- Clause-by-clause coverage across ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A
- A gap list ranked by what the room could not defend
- Per-table divergence, so you can see where opinion split
- Word and CSV exports plus a drafted findings narrative
