Find Out If Your Defences Actually Stop Modern Ransomware.
Ransomware Readiness Assessment evaluates your organisation's ability to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from a ransomware attack — testing your technical controls, backup integrity, incident response procedures, and business continuity plans against modern ransomware tactics.
Ransomware is the most impactful cyber threat facing Indian businesses today. Indian organisations faced a 53% increase in ransomware attacks in 2024, with average ransom demands exceeding ₹5 crore for mid-sized companies. More critically, even organisations that pay the ransom experience an average of 23 days of operational disruption.
This assessment does not just check if you have antivirus software. We evaluate whether your entire defence chain — from initial attack prevention through detection, containment, and recovery — would hold up against a modern ransomware operation like LockBit, BlackCat, or Akira.
Most Indian businesses believe they are protected against ransomware because they have antivirus software and take backups. In reality, modern ransomware operators spend weeks inside your network before encrypting anything — disabling security tools, deleting backups, and exfiltrating data for double extortion.
Common ransomware readiness gaps we find in Indian organisations include backup systems that are connected to the same network as production (and would be encrypted along with everything else), endpoint detection tools that are installed but not properly configured or monitored, no network segmentation — meaning ransomware can spread from one compromised workstation to every server, incident response plans that exist on paper but have never been tested, and no tested recovery procedures — the organisation has never actually tried restoring from backups.
A proper ransomware readiness assessment tests all of these elements and gives you a clear picture of whether your organisation would survive a ransomware attack — and what you need to fix.
Every Ransomware Readiness Assessment engagement with Verentix delivers concrete, actionable outcomes:
Prevention Assessment (Day 1-4): We evaluate your email security, endpoint protection, patch management, network segmentation, access controls, and user awareness training — the controls that should prevent ransomware from gaining initial access and spreading.
A manufacturing company in Pune discovered that their 'offline' backup tapes were actually connected to the backup server via an always-on iSCSI connection — meaning ransomware that compromised the backup server could encrypt the tapes too. Their recovery time objective was 4 hours, but actual test recovery took 72 hours.
A hospital chain in Maharashtra found that their endpoint protection was installed on only 60% of workstations, was running outdated signatures on 80% of those, and the management console had not been checked in 3 months. Ransomware targeting healthcare in India had increased 200% in the prior year.
An IT services company in Bengaluru discovered through our tabletop exercise that their incident response plan assumed 4 people would be available within 30 minutes — but 2 of those people had left the company 6 months ago and were never replaced in the plan.
