Ransomware Response Playbook
What to do in the first 72 hours. Written for business owners, not security professionals.
What's inside this playbook
When ransomware hits, most business owners freeze. Not because they're not capable — but because nobody told them what to do first. The first hour is the most important, and without a plan you're making critical decisions under maximum pressure with zero preparation. This playbook changes that.
- Phase 1: First hour containment — stop the spread before it gets worse
- Phase 2: Hours 1-24 — assess the damage, contact the right people, understand your legal obligations
- Phase 3: Hours 24-72 — controlled recovery without getting reinfected
- The honest answer on whether to pay the ransom
- After the storm — what to do once you're back up and running
- Emergency contact sheet to fill in before you ever need it
