🚀 The Ready Crisis Readiness and Response Platform is launching August 2025. Book a pre-launch demo.
Meet Ready™
The people-first crisis readiness and response platform.
Build your cyber crisis operations and reputation response defences.
Comply with cyber laws
Cyber and critical infrastructure regulatory regimes such as DORA, NIS, NIS2 and CPS 230 require you to have comprehensive crisis response and communication processes in place.
As a Ready customer, once you’ve completed all your Readiness modules, set up your Situation Room and signed off, you can get your Certificate of Readiness to share with customers and regulators - and be confident you’re Ready to respond, quickly.
Build your own expert Crisis Response Plan
The Ready platform lets you prepare for a crisis and respond when crisis hits. You work through the Readiness modules, making the final downloadable Crisis Response Plan customised to your business’s regulatory regimes, sector and risk maturity.
Crisis communication gurus by your side
Each module has in-app how-to instructions so you know what to do, and the distilled wisdom and experience of our crisis and reputation experts to help you think through your own approach.
Or we can do it for. Reach out to sales@ready4crisis.com for a chat.
Assemble your Crisis Management Team
With Roles and Responsibilities already laid out, simply nominate your A and B teams, their roles and contact details.
Connect each member to their 0-48 hour Action Checklist in the Situation Room on Activation.
Your own Crisis-Ready Situation Room
The outputs from working through the modules also populate your bespoke Situation Room, ready for you when an incident escalates to a declared crisis and you stand-up your CMT.
The CMT Hub has all your action tracking and evidence gathering log forms and templates, role cards, action checklists and contacts.
And out-of-band CMT communications if you need it.
Communicate in minutes
Ready gives you pre-drafted templates for emails, regulator notifications, FAQs, socials, website copy, board memos and more.
They’re embedded with trust-building messaging so you don’t need to be a reputation risk expert. Simply edit them to suit your business’s preferred language and risk appetite.
When crisis does hit, the Ready™ Collateral Builder™ populates these master templates with the facts of your live cyber scenario.
Be Ready for anything
We’ve been there, done that, so you can face the flames knowing your team is as Ready as it can be. Access decision trees and collaboration exercises to de-risk high-speed, high-pressure judgment calls:
How do we apologise “safely”?
Do we communicate? Do we have a choice? With whom, when?
Do we pay a ransom?
Do we pay compensation?
Your bespoke Media Centre
Where you’ll keep all of your contacts and contracts for media support, social monitoring and press release distribution in place, ready for Activation.
Here’s where you’ll find industry-best Holding Statements, draft press releases and social posts. When your CMT gives the “activate communication order”, use the Ready™ Collateral Builder™ to populate them with the cyber scenario facts.
Get started fast. Collaborate with as many people as you need to
No waiting for costly, slow installations.
No limit on users, which means no limit on team collaboration.
How we handle Privacy, Security & AI
The Ready application draws on the latest LLM advances, while ensuring human intelligence is focused on the things humans do best.
We do not use LLMs to write or review customer content, but our customers benefit from the insights and efficiencies of LLMs.
Where AI services are used, we ensure that customer data is not shared without specific customer consent for the use case.
We comply with the key privacy regimes globally, including GDPR, UK GDPR, CPRA and PIPEDA.
We are designed from the ground up as a secure, modern web application based on a PaaS architecture, with AWS at the foundation.
Please contact cto@ready4crisis.com for a detailed technical specification of the Ready platform.

Ready deliberately puts people at the centre of your crisis response, because up to 75 per cent of crisis response IS communication. Reputation risk is a big part of a business’s intangible asset value and the risks posed by poor communication going viral on social media means it good communication needs much more attention. We’re flipping the old model so that your Crisis Management Team can respond effectively operationally and reputationally, not stakeholder communication as an after-thought.
-
Ready provides all you need for your formal, final cyber Crisis Response Plan. You customise it to your business as you work through the modules.
You’ll choose regulatory regimes, add relevant contracts extracts and the contacts for your Crisis Mnagement Team (and back-ups) and your activation service providers. All in one place.
Once you and your team has worked through the preparation modules, you’ll be able to download your plan and edit it offline.
-
Yes you can. Since communication is 75% of handling a crisis and we care about reputation protection, we’ve built a platform for modern crisis response management. This means you can also communicate with your CMT, have key documents and log templates at your disposal and much more.
-
There’s no costly, resource-hungry installation like large enterprise platforms with Ready. This means we can have you using the platform once we’ve set up your SSO.
Your Customer Success manager will do that as soon as you let them know you’re ready to get Ready.
-
You can basically take Ready for a spin and see if it’s the right fit for your needs. This means you can work through the modules and see how your bespoke crisis response plan is built, how your collateral is assembled and see it all in the Situation Room, ready to Break Glass!
You won’t be able to download your plan. We hold your data for 60 days after your free trial ends. So if it works for you, sign up within that 60 days so you don’t have to start all over again.
