Ransomware & incident response · Quebec experts

Ransomware can shut everything down overnight. Be ready to bounce back in hours, not weeks.

Encrypted systems, paralyzed operations, data held hostage: ransomware can close your business for weeks. We harden your backups, reduce the attack surface and prepare your recovery plan, so the worst case stays manageable. In plain language. No surprises.

The real risk

The problem isn't just being attacked, it's not being able to recover

Ransomware steals more than data: it steals your time, your revenue and your peace of mind. Here's what hurts.

Everything stops at once

Ransomware encrypts your files and paralyzes your operations: no more access to documents, emails or billing.

Your backups may be useless

Many discover, on the day, that their backups were incomplete, too old, or encrypted along with the rest.

Paying is never a guarantee

Paying the ransom doesn't guarantee full recovery, funds crime and makes you a repeat target.

Every day of downtime is costly

Salaries, missed contracts, lost clients: the real cost of ransomware is above all the downtime.

Your data ends up online

More and more attacks steal your data before encrypting it and threaten to publish it, a Law 25 risk.

Without a plan, it's panic

On the day of an attack, who do you call, in what order? Without a rehearsed plan, you lose precious hours.

The real question isn't IF you'll avoid every attack, but whether you can bounce back fast when one hits.

The risk in numbers

Ransomware hits the least prepared hardest

It's no longer a distant threat: it's a common, costly and slow-to-overcome risk.

Common questions

« Is this really necessary for us? »

These are the three reactions we hear most. Here's why they deserve a second thought.

« We already have backups »

A great start, but when did you last test them for real? Many backups are incomplete, too old or encrypted along with the rest during an attack.

We verify that they truly let you bounce back.

« It won't happen to us, we're too small »

Ransomware is automated and hits the least protected organizations, often SMBs.

Ransomware is linked to ~75% of system intrusions: size is no protection. Estimate what an attack would cost you with our cyberattack cost calculator.

« We have an IT provider »

Your IT provider runs your day-to-day IT. Ransomware readiness, isolated backups, a tested recovery plan, hardening, is a specialty.

We work alongside them to close those blind spots.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ransomware

Everything leaders ask us before getting started.

What is ransomware?

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your files and demands a ransom to unlock them. Increasingly, it also steals your data and threatens to publish it.

Should we pay the ransom?

Authorities advise against it: paying doesn't guarantee full recovery, funds crime and makes you a repeat target. The best response is being able to restore your data yourself.

Aren't our backups enough?

Only if they're isolated, recent and tested. During an attack, backups connected to the network can be encrypted too. We validate that they truly let you bounce back.

What do you do if we're attacked right now?

We guide you through the first actions (isolate, preserve evidence, assess the scope), secure what can be secured and support you through recovery. The sooner you act, the better.

How long does recovery take?

Without preparation, it can take weeks. With reliable backups and a rehearsed plan, it's hours to a few days. That's exactly what our support is for.

Is this related to Law 25?

Yes. Ransomware with data theft can trigger your reporting obligations under Law 25. Reducing the risk and documenting your plan is a due-diligence measure.
