Response preparedness that's provable

Response Records That Survive the Insurer's Second Question.

Version every runbook, assign incident roles with coverage-gap alerts, run exercises with MTTA/MTTR timelines, and track every remediation to documented closure, so when the insurer asks "are you prepared?" you show them, not tell them.

Name the IR control your insurer asked about last. We will show how versioned runbooks, exercise timelines, and remediation closure evidence connect in under 15 minutes.

How It Works

From Versioned Runbook To Closed Remediation Record

Every step, from authoring, role assignment, exercise capture, to remediation closure, links together into the evidence chain insurers and auditors expect.

01
Author and version response plans
Create runbooks with escalation paths, containment steps, and communication checklists. Each revision is tracked with approval history so the active version is never ambiguous.
02
Assign roles and escalation ownership
Map incident commander, communications lead, and technical responder to every runbook so coverage gaps surface before the next exercise, not during a real incident.
03
Run tabletop exercises with structured capture
Log participant decisions, inject-response timing, and MTTA/MTTR observations in a timeline format that shows exactly how the team performed against the plan.
04
Track every remediation to documented closure
Convert exercise gaps and post-incident findings into owned tasks with deadlines, completion evidence, and recovery-time impact notes attached at close-out.
05
Export readiness records on demand
Deliver versioned runbooks, exercise timelines, and remediation closure history through controlled reviewer access, ready before the insurer asks.

Verified Before Review

Key Capabilities

Versioned runbooks with approval history, exercises with MTTA/MTTR timelines, and remediation closed with evidence. The IR proof that answers the insurer's next question before they ask it.

Versioned Runbook Management

Every runbook revision carries diff-level change history and approval signatures so auditors see exactly which version was active during any incident window.

Common Questions

Questions Teams Ask About Incident Readiness & Response

How versioned runbooks, exercise records with MTTA/MTTR, and remediation closure evidence hold up when insurers ask for proof.

Can we import existing runbooks and incident response plans?
Yes. Import your existing plans, then layer on version tracking, role assignments, and approval workflows. Every imported document gets full revision history from the moment it enters the system. No need to recreate from scratch.
How does runbook versioning work day-to-day?
Every edit creates a new version with diff-level change tracking and an approval signature. You can compare any two versions side by side, and the system always marks which version was active during a given incident window so auditors never question which plan was in effect.
How often should we run tabletop exercises?
Most insurers expect at least annual exercises, but quarterly cadences score better on renewal applications. Aurora Command tracks exercise frequency per runbook and flags when a plan has gone stale so you never miss a cycle.
How do exercise records satisfy insurer evidence requests?
Exercise records capture participants, inject-response timing, MTTA/MTTR observations, and remediation items, all mapped to the controls insurers evaluate. When they request evidence of tabletop exercises, the records are already linked and exportable in the format they expect.
How are MTTA and MTTR tracked during exercises and real incidents?
Timeline entries automatically capture acknowledge and resolve timestamps. The system calculates MTTA and MTTR per incident or exercise, trends them over time, and flags regressions so you can show continuous improvement at renewal.
How is this different from Simulations & Sessions?
Incident Readiness & Response manages your IR program end to end: versioned runbooks, role accountability, escalation paths, and incident-specific exercises with MTTA/MTTR tracking. Simulations & Sessions covers broader tabletop scenarios, cross-team drills, and follow-up tracking across all readiness activities beyond incident response.
