Ransomware Readiness Assessment

Ransomware is not a malware problem. It is a test of whether your organization can lose access to its systems and still make decisions: whether backups restore under pressure, whether authority to disconnect is settled in advance, and whether leadership knows its position on payment before the clock is running.

Apogee measures readiness against that test. The assessment examines the controls that determine blast radius, the recovery capability that determines downtime, and the governance that determines whether the first day of an incident is executed or improvised. It is delivered by practitioners who have managed ransomware events inside federal agencies and the Fortune 500.

The engagement includes

• A structured read of the controls that limit spread: identity, segmentation, privileged access, and exposure at the edge
• A recovery capability assessment: whether backups are isolated, tested, and restorable at the speed the business requires
• A governance read: decision rights, payment posture, legal and insurance alignment, settled before they are needed
• A rehearsal of the first twenty-four hours, executed by the people who would live them
• A findings register ranked by business impact, with owners and sequence

The engagement is scoped from the four services at a briefing, runs in a defined interval with stated objectives, and is measured at the gate.

The boundary, stated plainly. This is a readiness assessment and program-design engagement. It measures and strengthens your ability to withstand and recover from ransomware; it is not a response retainer. If a live incident calls for response support, it is scoped as its own engagement with named practitioners and stated objectives.

Start with a briefing: forty-five minutes with a senior advisor, and a straight answer on whether you would recover.
