The facility

The floor behind the suites

Inside the same Pyrmont address sits a dedicated Sim Floor for full-scale exercises and a backup command centre for the day your headquarters is compromised. Normally dormant, it becomes the hub the moment it is needed.


Sim Floor

Rehearse the worst day

Full-scale simulations run here as a matter of routine: a team spends the day working a pretend incident from the control desk while executives practise on the floor.

  • Spin up Switchyard.
  • Book it through Roy.

Exercises are treated seriously: participants can run on separate lanyards and simulated data systems, and vendor partners or regulators can watch from the observer pods without interfering.

Backup command

Spin up Switchyard

If your headquarters is compromised, leadership relocates here and continues operating with minimal interruption. Pyrmont sits close to the CBD but apart from it, so an incident in the city centre does not take this facility down with it.

Standing retainer

Keep the facility on retainer and it stays ready to go: rooms and systems can be brought up on a phrase. Continuity drills and full-scale annual tests run here.
