What is a ransomware readiness assessment and how does it help?

A ransomware readiness assessment simulates real-world attack conditions to evaluate how well an organization can detect, contain, and recover from a ransomware incident. It identifies critical gaps in response, communication, legal exposure, and backup strategy—helping leadership build resilience before an attack occurs.

Who should participate in a ransomware readiness engagement?

Executive leadership, IT, legal counsel, compliance officers, communications, and cyber insurance stakeholders should all be involved. Readiness is not just a technical issue—it requires coordinated decision-making across business units.
