Ransomware Preparedness Assessment Manawaru
A practical assessment of how you would survive a ransomware attack - before you have to find out the hard way.
Ransomware is not a question of if for most organisations, but when. The difference between an inconvenience and a disaster is rarely luck - it is preparation: tested backups, known attack paths, clear response steps and the right people knowing what to do.
Our ransomware preparedness assessment looks at your organisation the way an attacker would - how they would get in, what they would encrypt, and what you could actually recover - then gives you an honest, prioritised plan to close the gaps.
What we help with
- Backups that have never been tested (the most common failure)
- Ransomware that can reach your backups as easily as your systems
- No plan for who does what during an incident
- Uncertainty about whether you could actually recover and how long it would take
- Common entry points - phishing, exposed remote access, unpatched software
- No tested communication plan for staff, customers and regulators
- Insurance requirements that assume preparation you do not have
What's included
- Attack-path review - how ransomware would likely enter your environment
- Backup architecture review - including ransomware-resistant design (immutable, offline copies)
- Restore testing - we verify your backups actually recover, not just run
- Access review - admin accounts, MFA and remote access exposure
- Incident response plan review and gap analysis
- A clear, prioritised preparedness roadmap
- Tabletop exercise option to rehearse your response safely
How it works
- 01
Assess
We review entry points, backups, access controls and your response plan - with real evidence, not assumptions.
- 02
Test
We verify restores actually work and measure realistic recovery time.
- 03
Plan
You get a prioritised fix list covering technology, process and people.
- 04
Rehearse
Optional tabletop exercises let your team practise the response safely before a real incident.
Who it's for
Organisations that want to survive ransomware - from growing businesses to enterprises, healthcare, schools, local government and any organisation with data they cannot afford to lose.
Questions about Ransomware Preparedness Assessment Manawaru
Untested backups. Backups that run but have never been restored, or that ransomware could reach and encrypt too. Both are fixable once they are known.
Typically one to two weeks of review and testing depending on your environment, followed by your report and roadmap.
Yes - we offer tabletop exercises where your team walks through a realistic attack scenario and practises decisions, communication and recovery.
Almost certainly. Insurers increasingly expect evidence of tested backups, MFA and incident response plans - exactly what this assessment produces.
