Prepare before the attack.
Recover when it matters.Ransomware isn't a matter of if — it's when. Proven Data combines 15+ years of ransomware response experience with the Lynx platform to build a defense posture that turns a potential catastrophe into a manageable incident. From tabletop exercises that test your team to backup architectures that survive encryption, we prepare your business to weather the storm.
The Risk
Most organizations find out they weren't ready.
The average ransomware attack costs SMBs $1.85M in downtime, recovery, and lost business. Most of that cost comes not from the attack itself — but from the lack of preparation that turns a containable incident into a business-threatening crisis.
No Tested Playbook
When ransomware hits, your team needs to execute — not improvise. Without a tested incident response plan, critical minutes are lost to confusion, finger-pointing, and ad-hoc decisions that often make things worse.
Backup Assumptions
Most organizations assume their backups work until they need them. Untested backup restoration, insufficient retention, and backup infrastructure on the same domain as production are the top reasons recovery fails.
Unpatched Attack Surface
Exposed RDP, unpatched VPNs, and misconfigured cloud services are the top three initial access vectors for ransomware. If you don't know what's exposed, attackers do.
Compliance Gaps
After an attack, regulators and insurers will ask what you did to prepare. Without documented readiness measures, breach notification timelines, and evidence of due care, you face regulatory penalties on top of recovery costs.
How We Prepare You
A readiness program that actually works.
Our readiness program is built from real-world incident experience — not theoretical frameworks. Every recommendation comes from something we've seen fail in 3,000+ ransomware engagements.
Tabletop Exercises
Facilitated scenario simulations that put your leadership, IT, legal, and communications teams through realistic ransomware scenarios. We test decision-making, escalation paths, and communication workflows — not just technical controls.
Readiness Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of your current posture: backup architecture, network segmentation, identity hygiene, endpoint protection, and IR plan maturity. We benchmark against what we see in real attacks.
Backup Architecture Review
We validate your backup strategy against real ransomware TTPs: Can backups survive domain compromise? Are they air-gapped? Can you restore in hours, not weeks? We test what attackers will test.
Attack Surface Hardening
Identify and close the exposures ransomware groups actually exploit: exposed RDP, unpatched VPN appliances, misconfigured cloud identity, and lateral movement paths through flat networks.
IR Plan Development
Create or refine your incident response plan with runbooks, escalation matrices, communication templates, and breach counsel engagement procedures — all tested through tabletop exercises.
Lynx Platform Deployment
Deploy the Lynx platform for continuous monitoring: MDR-guided detection, attack surface scanning, threat intelligence feeds, and identity monitoring — so you have visibility before an attack, not just during one.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
A comprehensive readiness assessment typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your environment. This includes interviews with key stakeholders, technical evaluation of backup and recovery infrastructure, attack surface analysis, and tabletop exercise facilitation.
Don't wait for the attack. Prepare now.
Our readiness assessment identifies the gaps ransomware groups actually exploit — and our program closes them before an attack tests your defenses.
