Ransomware Readiness
Ransomware continues to wreak havoc across industries and putting organizations in the difficult position of managing their business while being extorted by cyber criminals. With average ransomware demands approaching nearly $6 million (and up to $200 million), being a victim can be expensive and damaging for businesses of all sizes. 6 in every 10 small and mid-size businesses will go out of business as a result of a ransomware incident.
Hive Systems can help. We offer a suite of ransomware readiness services tailored to your organization’s needs. We’ll help your organization identify weaknesses and opportunities in your current cybersecurity posture - whether people, process, or technology driven. Through our programmatic approach we’ll help you establish processes to:
Effectively prevent successful ransomware attacks, and
Recover effectively from a ransomware attack making the need to make ransom payments obsolete.
Hive Systems works with you to assess the current state of your cybersecurity posture in the context of ransomware, improve that state where necessary, and test key capabilities to ensure a ransomware resilient environment that:
Prevents ransomware at key entry points and prevents its spread across your organization;
Enables rapid and comprehensive recovery in the event of a ransomware attack, within your organizations defined recovery time and recovery point objectives;
Provides assurance for your customers that their data is safe and the products and services they have procured are resilient enough to meet agreed upon SLAs, even in the event of a ransomware attack; and
Reduces risk and potential liability to your business of potential and confirmed ransomware attacks.
Turn ransomware risk into ransomware readiness
Ransomware remains one of the most destructive and expensive threats facing modern organizations. Attackers aren’t just encrypting data - they’re disrupting operations, leaking sensitive information, and targeting backups and suppliers. At Hive Systems, we help organizations move beyond awareness into real-world readiness.
Our ransomware readiness assessments go beyond technical scans. We evaluate your people, processes, technologies, and response posture to identify where you’re vulnerable - and how to fix it before an attack hits.
Assessments built for real world attacks
You can’t defend against ransomware with theory alone. Hive’s assessments are based on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by today’s most active ransomware groups. We evaluate:
Initial access paths like phishing, RDP, and third-party compromise
Endpoint, network, and identity segmentation practices
Backup architecture and recovery capabilities
Incident response playbooks and ransomware-specific procedures
Executive, legal, and PR readiness for extortion-based scenarios
Compliance exposure under data breach and disclosure laws
Whether you’re a tech startup or a global enterprise, our assessments scale to match your complexity - and surface the risks that matter.
Prepare your team before attackers test it
Readiness isn’t just about tools. It’s about response. Hive Systems guides your team through simulated ransomware scenarios to build clarity and confidence when it counts.
We provide:
Tabletop exercises with IT, legal, leadership, and communications
Role-specific playbooks for ransomware and extortion scenarios
Risk scoring across people, process, and technology domains
Clear, prioritized recommendations for near-term and strategic remediation
Optional technical testing including attack path mapping and controls validation
You walk away with a measurable, actionable roadmap - not just another report.
Backed by experience across sectors and threat types
Hive Systems has helped organizations in critical infrastructure, financial services, technology, manufacturing, and education assess and improve their ransomware readiness. We stay up to date on the latest TTPs from groups like Black Basta, LockBit, and ALPHV, and we use that intelligence to make your defenses smarter.
Our team brings expertise in:
Framework alignment (NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS)
Compliance-driven incident response planning
Executive and board-level reporting on ransomware risk
Integrating detection and response tools with actual response processes
We bridge the gap between what your tools can do and what your team needs to be ready for.
Be ready before ransomware strikes
Don’t wait for a ransomware incident to find out what’s missing. Hive Systems can help you build the policies, muscle memory, and technical resilience needed to respond quickly - and recover with confidence.
