Proven Data
Ransomware Readiness

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.

Common risk factor

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.

Common risk factor

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.

Common risk factor

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.
