Ransomware Readiness Checklist

Ransomware readiness refers to an organisation's ability to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from ransomware attacks. It encompasses technical controls, process maturity, and organisational preparedness to minimise business impact.

Mid-market organisations and BFSI institutions face unique ransomware challenges including regulatory requirements (RBI guidelines), resource constraints, and high-value target status. The checklist addresses these specific concerns with practical, prioritised recommendations.

We recommend quarterly reviews of your ransomware readiness posture, with immediate reassessment after any significant infrastructure changes, new threat intelligence, or industry-specific alerts. Annual tabletop exercises are also essential.

The checklist provides a self-service evaluation of key ransomware defences. A full Ransomware Readiness Assessment from Tatva Networks includes technical validation, attack simulation, recovery testing, and a detailed remediation roadmap with prioritised actions.

Yes, the checklist includes considerations for RBI cybersecurity framework, SEBI guidelines, and general data protection requirements. However, it's not a substitute for a formal compliance audit.

A low score indicates gaps that should be addressed urgently. We recommend booking a consultation to discuss prioritised remediation based on your specific risk profile and budget constraints.
