Your framework requires IR testing.
We make it easy.
SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and CMMC all require documented incident response testing. Breachdeck produces scored, audit-ready exercise records — without the $25K consultant.
SOC 2 Type II
The entity evaluates security events to determine whether they could or have resulted in a failure of the entity to meet its objectives, and detects, responds to, and recovers from identified security incidents.
What auditors want
- Evidence that IR plans are tested, not just documented
- Participation records showing the right people were involved
- Scored assessment proving the team can actually execute the plan
- Lessons learned and remediation tracking from each exercise
How Breachdeck helps
- Realistic scenarios mapped to MITRE ATT&CK with scored decisions
- Timestamped completion certificates with participant details
- Competency assessment across containment, communication, compliance, and business impact
- PDF export designed for auditor review
PCI DSS 4.0
The incident response plan is reviewed and tested, including all elements listed in Requirement 12.10.1, at least once every 12 months.
What auditors want
- Annual IR plan testing with documented results
- Coverage of all 12.10.1 elements in the exercise
- Evidence that the test was realistic, not a checkbox walkthrough
- Demonstrated improvement from previous test findings
How Breachdeck helps
- Scenarios that exercise detection, containment, recovery, and notification workflows
- Decision-by-decision scoring showing where the team excels and where gaps exist
- Quarterly practice cadence at a fraction of consultant cost
- Audit-ready PDF with completion date, duration, and competency breakdown
HIPAA Security Rule (2026)
Implement policies and procedures to address security incidents, including response and reporting. The 2026 Security Rule update strengthens requirements for IR plan testing and documentation.
What auditors want
- Documented IR plan testing with healthcare-specific scenarios
- Evidence that clinical operations continuity was addressed
- Breach notification workflow testing (HHS, patients, media)
- Staff participation records for compliance documentation
How Breachdeck helps
- Healthcare-specific ransomware and data breach scenarios with realistic clinical context
- Decisions that balance patient safety, HIPAA compliance, and operational continuity
- Breach notification timing and regulatory reporting built into scenario flow
- Completion certificates with competency scores for compliance files
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
The organization shall plan and prepare for managing information security incidents by defining and testing incident management processes and procedures.
What auditors want
- Tested incident management procedures, not just documented ones
- Evidence of lessons learned feeding back into process improvement
- Cross-functional coordination demonstrated during testing
- Regular cadence of testing aligned to the ISMS review cycle
How Breachdeck helps
- Exercises that test coordination across technical, legal, and communications teams
- Debrief with specific improvement recommendations tied to each decision
- Competency tracking over time to demonstrate continuous improvement
- Structured exercise records for ISMS documentation and surveillance audits
CMMC 2.0 (Level 2+)
Establish and test an operational incident-handling capability for organizational systems that includes preparation, detection, analysis, containment, recovery, and user response activities.
What auditors want
- Operational IR capability, not just a written plan
- Testing that covers the full incident lifecycle (preparation through recovery)
- Evidence tied to NIST SP 800-171 control families
- Documentation sufficient for C3PAO assessment
How Breachdeck helps
- Scenarios covering the full incident lifecycle with realistic decision points
- Attack chains mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, aligning with NIST control families
- Scored assessment demonstrating operational capability, not just awareness
- Exportable exercise records for C3PAO evidence packages
