HACKED · Incident Response Simulation

Enter the War Room

A guided cyber incident simulation that involves the whole organisation: IT, management, legal, DPO, operations and communications make decisions under pressure, with incomplete information, and at the end everyone reconstructs together what happened. It is run by the 823 Consulting staff coordinated by Giacomo Pesce, with Cloud Security Italia.

About us

From the early web to NIS2.

Giacomo Pesce started in 1987 as a developer and technician. In 1996 he built the first integrated management system on a company network, when many of the standards we apply today did not yet exist, and in the same year he launched himself into the still unknown web.

Since then he has worked in information security, risk management and management systems. Today he is a CISO, DPO and Lead Auditor: our team works both for those who must protect and for those who have already been hit and do not know how to manage the incident.

NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act, in a single repository

Prometeo is the GRC platform we developed and use with our clients. For NIS2 it covers ACN measures, management bodies, suppliers, incidents and notifications; for the Cyber Resilience Act the product inventory, the Annex I requirements product by product, the SBOM, vulnerabilities and Article 14 reports. The same information also serves ISO/IEC 27001, 231 and risk management, with no duplicate entries.

The platform organises the work and the evidence; decisions and compliance remain with the organisation.
