Ransomware Preparedness

Traditional security measures often focus primarily on prevention whilst neglecting detection and response capabilities. Ransomware gangs continuously evolve their tactics to bypass standard defences, exploiting not just technical vulnerabilities but also human factors through social engineering.

Even with robust preventative controls, organisations must acknowledge that determined attackers may eventually find a way in. ROSCA Technologies’ comprehensive approach addresses not just prevention but also detection, response, and recovery—ensuring organisations remain resilient even when initial defences are compromised.

ROSCA’s ransomware preparedness begins with a defence-in-depth approach covering people, processes, and technology. This includes tailored security awareness training that addresses the specific tactics ransomware operators use to gain initial access to your environment.

Our technical assessment identifies gaps in your current security controls and recommends enhancements across advanced threat prevention, email security, endpoint detection and response, network segmentation, and privileged access management.

Perhaps most critically, ROSCA helps establish immutable, air-gapped backup systems that attackers cannot encrypt or delete. According to industry research by Coveware, organisations with properly segregated backups reduced their recovery time by 70% compared to those without such protections.

ROSCA’s ransomware response planning defines clear roles and responsibilities for key stakeholders, including executive leadership, IT, security, legal, communications, and business continuity teams. Our facilitated workshops ensure each team member understands exactly what actions they need to take during an incident.

Our consultants help develop containment strategies to limit the spread of infection throughout your network. This includes network isolation procedures, credential reset protocols, and communication methods that remain accessible even when primary systems are unavailable.

ROSCA assists in establishing decision frameworks for ransom payment considerations before an incident occurs. This includes understanding legal implications, insurance coverage, and alternative recovery options to avoid making pressured decisions during a crisis.

ROSCA facilitates tabletop exercises that provide low-risk opportunities to validate your response plans by walking through simulated ransomware scenarios with key stakeholders. These discussions reveal gaps in planning and coordination before a real incident occurs.

Our technical validation through ransomware simulation tools allows you to safely test detection capabilities without causing actual damage to production systems. These controlled tests provide evidence of defence effectiveness against current ransomware techniques.

ROSCA guides organisations through full-scale recovery testing from offline backups to measure actual recovery time objectives and validate restoration procedures. Industry statistics show that 46% of organisations discover problems with their backup systems only when attempting recovery during an actual incident.
