Protecting your organization

Against ransomware threats

Ransomware has become one of the most disruptive and highly publicized threats in today’s digital world. With attacks escalating in sophistication and impact, organizations face increasing pressure to not only protect their critical systems but also to respond effectively and recover quickly when incidents occur. Yet, many businesses struggle to turn reactive measures into a proactive, actionable strategy.

At Brightlyn, we specialize in transforming ransomware preparedness from an isolated concern to an integrated part of your organization’s security strategy. One of our founders is the co-author of the Ransomware in Control paper published by NOREA, the professional association of IT auditors in The Netherlands. This expert-driven framework outlines key controls and best practices specifically for mitigating ransomware risks and reducing operational impact. Many of these controls are missing in the regularly used security control frameworks.

A practical framework for assessment

Strengthening ransomware resilience

Leveraging this framework, Brightlyn helps businesses strengthen their defenses and improve resilience with a comprehensive, actionable approach

1. Understand and identify risks

We work closely with your organization to identify systems, processes, and infrastructures that are most vulnerable to ransomware attacks. This includes analyzing critical systems and data, third-party dependencies, and overall digital exposure in the context of today’s evolving ransomware landscape.

2 Assess and evaluate controls

Using the NOREA Ransomware in Control framework, we assess the current ransomware preparedness of your organization. This includes evaluating technical controls (e.g., backup strategies, endpoint protection, and vulnerability management) as well as operational, governance, response and rebuild mechanisms.

3. Gap Analysis and prioritization

Our team performs a detailed gap analysis to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your ransomware defenses. Prioritization of risks allows for a structured roadmap to strengthen your security postur

4. Develop and Implement a Ransomware Response Plan / Playbook

Ransomware resilience isn’t just about prevention—it’s about preparing for recovery (or full rebuild) with minimal disruption to your business operations. We develop a tailored Ransomware Response Plan / playbook that includes incident response measures, clear escalation protocols, communication strategies, and technical recovery.

5. Test, train, and support

True ransomware resilience demands ongoing preparation. We help your organization perform simulated incident response exercises, train your teams, and establish a continuous improvement process that ensures preparedness even as ransomware tactics evolve.
