Talon Peak: AI Crisis
Simulations &
Tabletop Exercises
Practice the decisions before the crisis.
Interactive AI governance, data privacy, and cybersecurity crisis simulations for executives and boards. Explore how decisions change as the facts unfold.
What is an AI crisis simulation?
A facilitated, interactive exercise, also known as an AI governance tabletop exercise, that lets your team practice how it would respond to a realistic, high-stakes incident involving AI, data, security, or privacy.
For executive teams and boards
Designed for leadership teams, risk and compliance leaders, and boards. Build a shared view of risk, test oversight and escalation, and surface the decisions that matter most.

AI governance & incident scenarios
Scenarios focus on real-world risks, such as an AI model failure, a data exposure, a biased or high-risk output, a security incident tied to an AI system, or a regulatory inquiry. Each exercise is tailored to test AI incident response, governance, and cross-functional coordination.

Tabletop Exercise FAQs
-
Sessions typically run from 90-120 minutes. The board scenario runs 2 hours or a half day.
-
Traditional tabletop exercises often focus on cybersecurity incidents, operational disruptions, or disaster recovery. An AI governance tabletop exercise also explores the business decisions that arise when AI systems fail, behave unexpectedly, or create risks for customers and stakeholders.
Talon Peak puts participants into realistic, evolving scenarios where they must weigh incomplete information, competing priorities, and potential consequences. The focus is on decision-making, accountability, communication, and oversight, not just technical incident response.
-
Yes. Talon Peak offers simulations specifically designed for boards, risk committees, and executive leadership teams.
Board-focused exercises emphasize oversight, management escalation, information gaps, and difficult decisions under pressure. Directors can explore how they would challenge assumptions, assess competing risks, and respond as new information emerges, without stepping into management's operational role.
-
Yes. Talon Peak offers ready-made simulations and custom exercises tailored to your organization's industry, operations, technology, and risk environment.
Standalone custom simulations start at $7,500. The $6,000 Aetos Readiness Sprint also includes a custom Talon Peak exercise, with scenario development informed by the discovery, assessment, and preparation already completed during the Sprint.
