Ransomware Readiness Assessment
A scored answer to the only question your board is asking about ransomware.
Ransomware readiness is not one control, it is the intersection of four: whether your backups actually restore, whether an attacker can move laterally to reach them, whether you would detect the activity before encryption, and whether your people know what to do next. We assess all four against your real environment and score them, then hand you a prioritised plan aimed at the paths that would actually be used.
Included in this service
Backup and recovery testing
We check whether backups are immutable, segregated and genuinely restorable, rather than whether the backup job reports success.
Lateral movement and privilege paths
We map the routes from an initial foothold to your domain controllers, hypervisors and backup infrastructure.
Detection coverage review
We test whether the behaviours that precede encryption would raise an alert someone acts on, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Response playbook maturity
We review isolation, communication, decision authority and recovery sequencing against a real ransomware scenario.
A clear path from problem to outcome
The same disciplined cycle every time, so you always know what is happening next.
Scope & authorize
We agree the targets, rules of engagement and testing window, with written authorization in place before any testing begins.
Reconnaissance & mapping
We map the attack surface and enumerate assets, services and entry points the way a real attacker would.
Testing & exploitation
We safely attempt to exploit the weaknesses we find to prove real business impact, staying strictly within the agreed scope.
Reporting
You get prioritized findings with risk ratings, full proof-of-concept detail and concrete, actionable remediation steps.
Retest & support
After you remediate, we retest to confirm the issues are truly closed and support your team through the fixes.
