Ransomware resilience

Make recovery a tested capability—not an assumption.

A structured readiness review connecting likely attack paths, identity, segmentation, backups, restore evidence, suppliers and incident roles.

Containment and recovery depend on identity, segmentation, protected backups and tested decision routes.

Who this helps

Built around a buying situation.

  • Boards and operational risk owners
  • IT and security leaders
  • SMEs dependent on recoverable digital services

Useful when

The trigger is already visible.

  • Backups exist but restore evidence is weak
  • Identity or administration paths could enable destructive access
  • Incident roles and recovery priorities have not been exercised

The position

Resilience is the ability to contain, recover and learn.

Ransomware readiness is more than endpoint protection. Pegasus connects attack paths to the services the organisation must recover, then reviews identity, privilege, segmentation, configuration, backup isolation, restore evidence, suppliers, communications and decision rights as one resilience system.

01

A defined scope and accountable decision owners

02

Controls matched to the real operating context

03

Evidence that can be reviewed, tested and improved

Scope

What the work includes.

Every engagement is scoped around authority, operating context, available evidence and the decision that must be made.

01

Attack-path and dependency review

Map critical services, privileged paths, dependencies, likely disruption scenarios and the controls that constrain spread.

02

Backup and recovery assurance

Test whether recovery priorities, protected backups, credentials, configuration and restore evidence support an achievable recovery route.

03

Tabletop, action and verification

Exercise decision-making, assign improvements and verify the controls most likely to change containment and recovery outcomes.

Method

A controlled route from exposure to evidence.

Decision points, responsibilities and verification stay visible from the start.

01

Discover

Define the exposure, context, evidence, owners and decision that matters.

02

Design

Select proportionate controls and make responsibilities and hold points visible.

03

Implement

Embed the agreed system into the real operating workflow.

04

Verify

Test whether controls work and whether the evidence supports the conclusion.

05

Improve

Close actions, learn from exceptions and strengthen the system over time.

Outputs

Evidence designed for use.

Precision includes saying what the work does not claim.

Questions answered

Before you scope the work.

Does this guarantee protection from ransomware?

No. It is a scoped assessment intended to reduce exposure and strengthen recoverability. Threats, systems and dependencies change, so residual risk remains.

Do you test backups?

The scope can review backup architecture, protection and restore evidence, and can define or observe controlled restoration tests. Production changes and destructive testing require separate authorisation and safeguards.

Is this an incident-response retainer?

Not by default. Active incident response, digital forensics, extortion negotiation and legal notification require explicitly agreed specialist capability and response terms.
