Most ransomware attacks don’t start with malware — they start with exposure.
Vidar Security identifies the exact weaknesses attackers use to get in, move through your environment, access sensitive data, and disrupt backups — before it becomes a real incident.
If someone targeted your business today, would they get in?

What this is
A practical ransomware exposure assessment
This is not a generic audit. It is designed to identify the real attack paths that matter most if an attacker is trying to gain entry, widen access, and disrupt operations. This includes identifying not only how systems could be disrupted, but how sensitive data could be accessed and exfiltrated without detection.
Assessment lens
Initial access, internal movement, and backup exposure reviewed together.
Entry points
VPN, remote access, and externally reachable services.
Control paths
Privilege escalation, lateral movement, and shared system access.
Recovery risk
Whether backups and operations remain reachable under pressure.
Real attack path
What this looks like in a real attack
A typical ransomware incident doesn’t start with encryption.
It starts with something small:
From there, attackers move quietly:
By the time encryption happens, they already have control.
This assessment is designed to find those paths before they’re used.
Data Exfiltration Risk
Data Exfiltration Risk
Ransomware incidents are increasingly focused on data theft rather than encryption.
In many cases, attackers gain access, move through the environment, and extract sensitive data without immediately disrupting systems.
Where sensitive data is broadly accessible
External sharing or cloud storage risks
Lack of controls on outbound data transfer
Weak visibility into large data access or downloads
If someone gained access to your environment, could they quietly collect and remove sensitive data without being noticed?
What’s included
Coverage built around the ways ransomware operators actually move
External exposure review
Review of VPN, RDP, and other internet-facing services that commonly create the first opening for ransomware access.
Remote access security review
Focused assessment of how remote connectivity is protected, administered, and exposed across the environment.
Identity and MFA gap analysis
Validation of authentication controls, privileged accounts, and the weak points attackers commonly exploit first.
Privilege and lateral movement review
Analysis of how an attacker could move beyond the initial foothold and reach higher-value systems or shared infrastructure.
Backup and recovery exposure review
Assessment of whether backups, recovery pathways, and operational resilience could be disrupted during an attack.
Logging and visibility overview
Review of how effectively suspicious activity, escalation, and attacker movement would be seen by the organization.
Data exposure and exfiltration risk review
Identify where sensitive data is accessible, how it could be collected, and how it could be transferred externally.
Deliverable
You receive a concise report with prioritized findings and clear next steps.
Reporting style
Tight, readable findings designed to be useful for IT and understandable for leadership.
Assessment output
Prioritized findings, clear attack-path context, and next steps.

Who this is for
Built for businesses that want clarity
Why this is different
Focused on real attack paths
This assessment is based on real ransomware incidents and how attackers actually move through environments — not generic checklists. The goal is to show where access begins, how damage could spread, and what should be fixed first.
What you get
You’re not getting a generic report. You’re getting a clear picture of how your business could be taken down — and how to prevent it.
Pricing
Straightforward pricing for a focused ransomware exposure review.
The scope stays concise, practical, and decision-ready — with room to scale based on environment size and complexity.
Most engagements are completed in a few days with minimal disruption.
Ongoing Protection
Ongoing Protection
After the initial assessment, Vidar Security offers ongoing monitoring to identify new exposure risks as your environment changes.
Most ransomware incidents don’t come from one static weakness — they happen when something changes and no one notices.
Ransomware Resilience Plan
A focused monthly review of the areas most commonly used in ransomware attacks — designed to catch new risks before they become incidents.
Monthly exposure review
Re-check external access points, remote access systems, and key attack surfaces.
Change-based risk detection
Identify new risks introduced by configuration changes, new systems, or access changes.
Identity and access drift monitoring
Detect new admin accounts, MFA gaps, or privilege escalation risks.
Backup resilience checks
Ensure backup exposure hasn’t changed or weakened over time.
Priority alerting
If a high-risk issue is identified, you’re notified quickly with recommended action.
Ongoing advisory access
Ability to ask questions or validate concerns as your environment evolves.
Typical range: $250–$500/month depending on environment size
No long-term contracts. Continue month-to-month only if the service is delivering value.
Final CTA
Know where you stand before someone else finds out for you.
This is a quick, focused assessment — not a long-term commitment.
Independent assessment — not tied to any vendor
Designed to work alongside your existing IT or MSP
Covers both ransomware and data exfiltration risk scenarios
