Ransomware Defense Checker

A Ransomware Defense Checker is a free online assessment tool that evaluates your organization's readiness to prevent, detect, and respond to ransomware attacks. It analyzes your security controls, incident response procedures, backup strategies, and overall cybersecurity posture to provide an instant readiness score and personalized recommendations.

The complete assessment takes approximately 5 minutes. You'll answer 9 questions about your security controls (incident response plans, backup testing, endpoint protection, MFA, network segmentation, security training, and cyber insurance) plus provide your contact information. Results are delivered instantly with a detailed gap analysis.

Yes, the assessment is completely free with no credit card required. You'll receive an instant ransomware readiness score (0-100), risk level classification (Strong Defense, Moderate Risk, or Critical Gaps), and personalized recommendations via email. There's no obligation to purchase any services.

You'll need basic information about your organization's security posture including: company size, industry, incident response plan status, backup testing frequency, endpoint protection type, MFA implementation, network segmentation approach, security awareness training schedule, and cyber insurance coverage. No technical expertise is required to answer.

Your score is calculated based on 9 critical ransomware defense categories aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Each question is weighted based on its importance in preventing or mitigating ransomware attacks. Scores range from 0-100, with 80+ indicating strong defenses, 60-79 showing moderate risk, and below 60 revealing critical gaps requiring immediate attention.

You'll immediately receive your ransomware readiness score and risk classification on-screen. Within minutes, you'll receive a detailed email report with your score, specific security gaps identified, prioritized remediation recommendations, and information about how a ransomware tabletop exercise can help validate your defenses. No spam—just actionable intelligence.

No, this free assessment is a preliminary evaluation tool designed to identify potential gaps in your ransomware defenses. It provides valuable insights but cannot replace a comprehensive security audit or penetration test. Think of it as a health check that helps you understand where you need deeper validation through professional red team services or tabletop exercises.

A low score (below 60) indicates critical vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. We recommend: (1) Review the specific gaps identified in your email report, (2) Prioritize quick wins like enabling MFA or testing backups, (3) Schedule a free consultation to discuss a ransomware tabletop exercise that can help identify and address weaknesses in your incident response procedures before a real attack occurs.
