A layered approach to:

Ransomware Audits

The implications of a ransomware attack are enormous. BITS will audit the security systems in place in an effort to narrow down the potential avenues of attack.

The implications of a ransomware
attack are enormous.

While the temptation to engage with the criminal to quickly get back working might
be significant – it is our experience that this will frequently not result in a positive
outcome.

With BITS, you get:

Immediate Isolation and Containment
In the event of an attack, BITS emphasizes that the first priority is a “lockdown” of the system. This involves identifying and isolating affected devices to prevent the ransomware from spreading across the network, to cloud data, or to backup systems. Rapid containment is the only way to narrow down the potential avenues of attack.
Forensic Analysis Over “Quick Fixes”
BITS warns against the temptation to simply pay the ransom to get back to work. Instead, they perform a comprehensive audit of all network areas and logs. This forensic approach helps the business understand exactly how the breach occurred—whether through a phishing email, an unpatched vulnerability, or a compromised password—so the “hole” can be plugged permanently.
Verification of Backup Integrity
A ransomware audit isn’t just about the infected files; it’s about the safety of your “lifeboat.” BITS assesses your backup and disaster recovery systems to ensure they haven’t been compromised or encrypted by the attacker. This determines whether a clean restoration is possible and helps guide informed decisions on the recovery timeline.
Post-Attack Hardening and Compliance
Following the audit, BITS uses the findings to strengthen your defenses. Under GDPR, businesses are often legally required to report breaches and prove they had “appropriate technical measures” in place. The audit provides the necessary documentation for compliance while identifying where new layers—like MFA or advanced firewalls—need to be implemented to prevent a repeat incident.
