Ransomware Readiness Assessment
Ransomware is a question of when, not if. We assess how well you'd resist, detect and recover from an attack — from backups to segmentation to response plans — and give you a prioritised plan to survive one intact.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.

- Prioritised resilience roadmap
- Tabletop exercise findings
- Executive summary
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Written scope firstAdvisory work runs to a written scope agreed before it starts, so what you receive is what was agreed.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Advisory assessment — no live ransomware is ever used
- Implementation of improvements by your team
- Reduces risk and impact; can't guarantee immunity
- Point-in-time assessment
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What's the single most important thing you check?
- Backups you can actually recover from — offline or immutable, tested, and out of the attacker's reach. Many organisations discover too late that their backups were encrypted too.
- Do you simulate a real ransomware attack?
- We never deploy real ransomware. We assess your controls, analyse likely attack paths, and run a realistic tabletop exercise so your team practises the decisions without any risk.
- What do you need from us?
- Visibility of your backup, network and detection setup, and participation from IT and business stakeholders for the tabletop. We turn it into a clear resilience plan.
