We keep improving the exercise — often because the teams who use it tell us how.

Everything that's changed, newest first. Entries marked From team feedback came from the resilience teams who play-test the exercise.

The lights come onSep 2026
The first build of Keep the Lights On: eight roles across the strategic, tactical and operational levels of a business crisis, a ransomware scenario that runs from the Monday-morning alert to the review two weeks later, four consequence meters — People, Service, Trust and Exposure — and a service status board between phases that shows what is running, degraded and down as the incident unfolds. Every decision comes with feedback that names the framework principle behind it, and you can take your result away as a PDF. A risk register board lays out the UK National Risk Register by likelihood and impact: roll the dice to see which risk lands on the business and what it does to the lights.
