Eight dimensions

A readiness model for the pressure points that matter.

01

Detection

Would you spot ransomware, identity abuse, or lateral movement quickly enough to matter?

02

Containment

If an account or device is compromised, can you actually stop the spread fast?

03

Backups

If production is encrypted, do you have a restore path that actually works?

04

Communications

Will the business, customers, and stakeholders get clear updates when pressure spikes?

05

Decision Authority

Can someone make the hard call to isolate systems, stop processes, or spend money?

06

Legal / Compliance

Do you know your notification, evidence, and regulatory obligations before the clock starts?

07

Third-party Dependencies

What happens if a critical supplier, cloud provider, or MSP is part of the problem?

08

Recovery Testing

Have you exercised the plan, or are you relying on hope and a PDF?

What you get

A report that turns readiness into action.

The output surfaces your weakest response areas, converts them into a realistic tabletop scenario, and gives leadership a practical action plan.

Do not let the first real incident be the first real test.

Check the plan, the people, the permissions, and the recovery path before pressure hits.
