Ransomware is a growing threat to organizations, which is why proactive digital resilience is more important than ever. The Center for Information Security and Privacy Protection (CIP) now offers a Readiness Checklist against Ransomware, specifically designed to gain insight into the security level of organizations.
The Readiness Checklist against Ransomware helps CISOs, CTOs, IT architects and others responsible to gain structured insight into:
The list is based on best practices and current threat information. Completing it with a multidisciplinary team creates a complete picture from different perspectives.
The checklist looks not only at technology, but also at policy, awareness and resiliency. This provides a broad, in-depth overview of where the organization currently stands and where there are still risks or vulnerabilities. This allows improvement actions to be targeted and prioritized for relevance, feasibility and urgency.
According to Digitale Overheid , the checklist is not an audit, but a low-threshold tool to start the conversation about cyber resilience and gain more insight. There is no certification or audit associated with using this list.
