Ransomware
Readiness Assessment

A focused evaluation of your ability to prevent, withstand, and recover from ransomware — backup and recovery, network segmentation, incident-response playbooks, and endpoint protection.

Overview

Survive the attack everyone fears.

Ransomware is the threat most likely to take a business offline — and the one most organisations are least prepared to recover from. A ransomware readiness assessment tells you, honestly, whether you would survive.

We evaluate your backups and recovery, segmentation, endpoint protection, and incident-response playbooks against real ransomware tradecraft, then give you a prioritised, practical plan to close the gaps that matter most. It is one of the highest-impact assessments any organisation can run.

FAQ

Ransomware readiness FAQ

The questions we're asked most about scope, cost, and timing.

How much does a ransomware readiness assessment cost?
A ransomware readiness assessment is typically €2,500–4,000 as a one-off flat fee, depending on the size of your environment. Use our estimator for a tailored figure.
What does the assessment cover?
Backup and recovery, network segmentation, endpoint protection, incident-response playbooks, privilege and lateral-movement exposure, and detection coverage — plus an optional tabletop exercise.
How long does it take?
Most ransomware readiness assessments take 1–2 weeks, including the review and a debrief.
Why is ransomware readiness so important?
Ransomware is the single most likely cause of major downtime. Most damage comes from poor backups and segmentation — exactly what this assessment fixes before an attack, not after.
Is this a penetration test?
No — it is a focused resilience and recovery assessment. It pairs well with a penetration test, which validates whether attackers can get in to begin with.
Do you test our backups?
We review your backup strategy and recovery capability, and can run or observe a recovery test to confirm backups actually restore.
Do you provide a tabletop exercise?
Yes — an optional ransomware tabletop walks your team through a realistic scenario to test decision-making and the incident-response plan.
What do we receive?
A clear report scoring your readiness, a prioritised remediation roadmap, and a debrief with technical and management stakeholders.
