Ransomware readiness
A ransomware attack comes with potentially huge financial and reputational costs, often beyond the ransom itself, with attacks sometimes bringing down business operations for days or even weeks at a time. The risks have further intensified over recent years with the rise of remote working creating an increased ‘attack surface’ for many organisations. Our specialised cyber advisory team can support businesses in their ransomware readiness with a tailored assessment.
Ransomware threats can take many forms, the most prevalent variants often “double-dip”, charging a ransom to decrypt data and then publishing that data on the dark web for other cybercriminals to use. Paying the ransom is also never a guarantee to restore encrypted data, as these criminals operate in bad faith.
Businesses should be adhering to cyber-security best practice, improving their prevention, detection and prepared response for ransomware attacks.
Our approach
Mazars’ ransomware readiness assessment helps clients strengthen their anti-ransomware controls. Our approach provides a holistic assessment of your business’ ransomware readiness. It provides insight not just into the vulnerabilities in the business, but also into the potential impact of an attack through our ransomware simulation. Working with key security stakeholders, we can set goals for improvements and ensure that any existing security improvement projects are accounted for.
Our team of highly qualified and experienced professionals have worked with clients across different sectors and are well placed to support you and your business. Contact the team for more details or to discuss how we can help protect your business.
