How do their strengths and limits compare?
Strengths
- Exercises run in the same platform used for live incident response, so gaps feed straight into playbooks and owners.
- Enterprise-wide seats: security, legal, privacy, communications, risk, executives and outside partners.
- After-action reports with executive summaries, gap analyses and prioritised improvements.
Limits
- Not a lab platform or a cyber range: no hands-on technical environment is described.
- No published price; the exercise comes as a module of an incident response platform.
Strengths
- Short formats: 3–5 minute individual microsimulations and 30–45 minute team exercises.
- The longest framework list here for evidence, including DORA, ISO 22301, APRA CPS 230, NIST CSF and FFIEC.
- Board-ready dashboards and benchmarking by department, region and role.
Limits
- No technical hands-on work: no labs and no range.
- No published price and no free tier.
Which one fits which team?
Look at BreachRx if you want exercises to run in the same platform as your live incident response, or if your gap is ownership and coordination across security, legal and leadership. Look at iluminr if you report exercise evidence to a board or a financial regulator, or if you want frequent short exercises rather than one long one.
