Defense & Government Contractors

Resilience exercises built for CUI, contracts, and mission pressure

When an incident touches engineering systems, program delivery, or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), your response isn’t just operational—it’s contractual. Opsbook runs measurable, role-based exercises that produce audit-ready proof.

CMMC-aligned evidence DFARS-ready reporting rhythm Role-based participation After-action + action catalog

CMMC 2.0 basis

CMMC draws its requirements from NIST SP 800-171 (and a subset of 800-172) for protecting CUI in nonfederal environments.

72-hour reporting

DFARS 252.204-7012 defines “rapidly report” as within 72 hours of discovery of a cyber incident.

Evidence is the bottleneck

Most programs don’t fail because plans don’t exist—they fail because response isn’t exercised, documented, and repeatable.

Exercise scenarios that actually break programs

Micro-simulations designed for engineering, security, compliance, and program leadership—under real decision constraints.

Ransomware hits engineering / PLM environment

Test containment vs. continuity trade-offs when design, build, and supplier collaboration tools are disrupted.

CUI exfiltration + customer notification clock

Practice classification, legal/comms alignment, and escalation when CUI access is suspected—before evidence is complete.

Supplier compromise enters trusted network

Simulate a vendor update / remote access breach that spreads laterally into program systems and shared environments.

Insider misuse of privileged access

Run response across HR, legal, security, and program leadership—balancing investigation, continuity, and contractual exposure.

Compromised credentials + valid account abuse

Validate detection and decision-making when the attacker looks like a legitimate user across SaaS and identity systems.

Physical access incident + cyber convergence

Exercise security operations when a facility event overlaps with account takeover, remote access anomalies, or data exposure.

Outcome: you don’t just “run an exercise.” You generate a decision trail, an after-action report, and an action catalog that proves what changed.

How it works

Step 01

Build a CUI-aware scenario in minutes

Define systems, roles, escalation rules, and contractual constraints. Opsbook generates structured injects and role-aligned prompts.

Step 02

Run measurable participation across teams

Invite security, engineering, compliance, and program leaders. Capture decisions, timing, coordination, and handoffs.

Step 03

Export audit-ready proof

Generate after-action reporting, action catalog, and exercise audit trail—so evidence is ready for internal review and assessments.

Compliance framing your stakeholders recognize

Opsbook is designed to support environments where requirements originate from NIST-based controls and defense contracting obligations.

If reporting clocks and assessments matter, your exercises need outputs—not opinions.
