Before players arrive

  • Test network separation and name the on-call network lead.
  • Confirm approved accounts, recovery routes, and MFA readiness.
  • Check credentials, role permissions, and revocation contacts.
  • Brief referees on pauses, incident notes, and escalation.
  • Record the plan, time, owner, and outcome of each test.
