Evidence beside this record
Official source links open a government website in a new tab and leave this World.
CISA's general Services page identifies CTEPs as no-cost services for all organizations, and its CTEP page offers downloadable tabletop exercise packages and documentation for stakeholders' own exercises.
Limit: A downloadable package is a resource, not proof that an organization has conducted or passed an exercise; facilitation, staffing, venue, and adaptation costs remain unknown.
What that does not establish: Pre-built templates may need adaptation to an organization's participants, risks, and responsibilities.
Context: Exercise materials can support organizations with different capacities and sector-specific responsibilities.
