Why URM?
URM is ideally placed to assist your organisation with your cyber incident exercising due to the unique combination of exercising experience and cyber expertise. Since its formation in 2005, URM has been developing and facilitating incident response exercises. Our team of incident management and cyber specialists is hugely experienced and skilled in devising challenging, original and appropriate scenarios which will exercise and validate your incident response plans. Working closely with you, we will ensure the scenarios are realistic, have clear objectives in terms of raising awareness, assess how well participants understand the plans, as well as their own roles and responsibilities and how they work collectively as a team. URM has worked with a wide range of incident management teams as part its exercising and with different areas of focus, from assessing the capabilities of senior management to IT teams, measuring the effectiveness of communication and identifying gaps between actual and expected time to recover.
One feature of our exercising over the last 10 years has been the increasing number of cyber-related exercises we have developed, addressing such threats as malware attacks, ransomware incidents, data breaches and phishing attempts. This is an area where URM is able to excel by virtue of its cybersecurity knowledge supported by our CREST accreditation. Our Technical Team possesses a deep understanding of cybersecurity principles, current threats, and attack methodologies and, as such, is able to develop exercises which are both cutting edge and highly realistic.

After a bad experience with a previous provider, we looked to URM for QSA support. The URM QSA we have worked with is phenomenal, and considerably better than our previous QSAs. My team enjoy working with him, and find him to be extremely credible and effective. Whenever we have asked our QSA and account manager whether additional work is required outside of the annual cycle, there has never been a hard sell of any of URM’s services, and instead offer advice based on our compliance requirements and business needs. Our URM QSA always consults with the aim of making compliance as straightforward as possible, and pointed us towards a way of significantly minimising and streamlining our assessment scope that neither we nor our previous PCI DSS consultancy provider had considered.
