Cyber Security Tabletop Service

AISNSW launches its very own Cyber Security Tabletop Service piloted by and developed for Independent schools


How prepared is your school to respond?

It’s a typical school day—students are learning, teachers are teaching, and operations are running smoothly. Suddenly, a cyberattack compromises your school’s systems.

Where do you start? Who do you contact? Who is responsible for critical actions? How confident are you that your staff and systems can respond effectively and minimise disruption?

Prepare your school for the unexpected

In today’s digital world, schools are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Our Cyber Security Tabletop Exercise is an interactive workshop designed to help Independent schools strengthen their response to cyber incidents.

Through real-world simulations, school leadership teams and ICT managers test their systems, refine their response strategies, and enhance their ability to manage cyber threats with confidence.

What are schools saying?

"The session effectively raised awareness of cyber threats and their impact on business continuity, while also providing an opportunity for the College to reflect on our current incident response procedures, identify gaps, and further mature in this space. AISNSW’s deep understanding of the Independent school sector, combined with their experience in delivering similar exercises, ensured a tailored approach that was highly relevant to our context."

What are schools saying?

"The tabletop workshop provided insightful scenarios and questioning to draw out a greater understanding of what might occur in an incident, for all members of leadership in our organisation. This workshop, and the excellent report provided afterwards, have proved invaluable in refining our strategies, improving processes and prioritising projects to mitigate cyber risk."
