Ransomware Readiness
before the ransom note

A focused assessment of how well you would prevent, detect and recover from a ransomware attack, followed by the fixes that make the biggest difference.

How we help

Ransomware groups follow predictable paths: phishing or exposed services, credential theft, privilege escalation, backup destruction, encryption and extortion. We test each stage of that path in your environment and close the gaps.

Attack path review from initial access to encryption

Backup isolation and recovery testing

Privileged access and Active Directory hardening

Detection coverage for ransomware behaviours

What’s included

Built around your environment

Every Ransomware Readiness engagement is scoped to your systems, risks and team, with clear outcomes agreed before work starts.

  1. 01

    Recovery assurance

    We prove that backups are isolated, complete and restorable within your target times.

  2. 02

    Identity hardening

    Removing the credential and privilege weaknesses ransomware operators rely on.

  3. 03

    Decision planning

    Pre-agreed positions on extortion, communication and regulatory notification.

A clear path from scope to results

An incident is the worst time to find a responder or write a plan. We help you prepare in advance, respond with an experienced team when something happens, and learn from every event.

  1. Prepare

    Plans, playbooks, contacts and tooling agreed before an incident, so response starts immediately.

  2. Contain

    Isolate affected systems, stop the spread and preserve evidence in the first critical hours.

  3. Investigate and recover

    Find the root cause, remove the attacker and restore services safely from trusted backups.

  4. Learn and harden

    A blameless review turns lessons into concrete improvements to controls and processes.
