Ease Your Anxiety About Ransomware

Organizations everywhere are worried about ransomware and the potentially devastating fallout that comes with falling victim to an attack. While there are other security frameworks and standards that can help bolster your protections, at Schellman, we listened to the concerns of the market and our clients and customized assessment.
Solely focused on your risks pertaining to this particular attack, Ransomware Assessments evaluates both your prevention methods and your potential incident response so that you can strengthen your ransomware defenses from end to end.

Do You Need Ransomware Assessments?

Ransomware has struck all industries in recent years, but the resulting trends suggest that those in four sectors are at increased risk:
  • Healthcare

What’s Included in Schellman’s Ransomware Assessments?

Every Ransomware Assessments engagement we perform will take a three-pronged approach to validate all aspects of your security against ransomware:

  • Resiliency Review Includes evaluation of your organization's systems, processes, and procedures, including both technical controls and your employee training and awareness programs.
  • Threat Assessment Includes vulnerability assessments, security audits, and penetration testing to identify potential entry points for ransomware attacks.
  • Response Capabilities Assessment Includes a review of your policies, procedures, and incident response plan to ensure they are up-to-date and effective in preventing, detecting, and responding to ransomware attacks.

Schellman’s Ransomware Assessments Methodology

These evaluations fit into our greater Ransomware Assessments process which is comprised of six total phases that culminate in your final deliverable: 
Image

1. Project Initiation

As part of our collaborative planning and preparation process, you’ll walk us through your environment as we use a Ransomware assessment toolkit to baseline your current capabilities.

Image

2. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

We’ll perform penetration testing focused on the most common attack vectors for ransomware and applicable to your environment.

Image

3. Response Capability Analysis

In addition to reviewing documented policies and procedures, we’ll either conduct ransomware training with your employees or simulate a purple team-style exercise to understand how your organization would respond to a ransomware attack.

Image

4. Findings Documentation

When testing, training, and exercises are completed, we‘ll document our findings, including vulnerabilities and gaps in your response process.

Image

5. Remediation Planning and Execution

After we provide you with our conclusions, you’ll have time to remediate any discovered gaps and make necessary improvements. 

Image

6. Retesting AND Reporting

If you should request, we’ll perform a retest of the findings from penetration testing and provide an updated report. You do also have the option to add an external-facing report if you’d like to provide something to your customers.
