Start Your Playbook. Our first step is to create and help with the maintenance of a Ransomware Response Playbook for your organization to use in its overall Incident Response Plan. Ransomware playbooks involve more than just technical workflows. The GroupSense playbook incorporates all aspects of a ransomware incident, such as executive decision making, inclusion of cyber insurance, legal counsel and public relations. Playbooks should be revisited at least annually as the business evolves. GroupSense will continue to be a resource in your efforts to evolve your response strategy and plans.   --- ## 2. Executive Strategy Session You will have an executive strategy session with Kurtis Minder, GroupSense CEO, and/or key members of GroupSense's executive team, who will share their experiences from previous ransomware and extortion cases, trends, recent developments, key concepts and specific recommendations on readiness. The session will provide your leadership team with inside information on how these incidents play out, what to expect, best practices for successful outcomes and organizational readiness.   --- ## 3. 24/7 Priority On-call Support The GroupSense Ransomware Response Team will be on-call 24/7/365 to support you and your incident response provider in an incident. You will have a GroupSense lead negotiator on the phone within 4 hours of a declared incident. We become a key member of the response team, providing intelligence on ransomware groups, such as their reputation and typical behavior. We will advise your leadership team on strategy and take the lead on negotiating a successful settlement. The objective is to control the pace of the incident, increase the confidence of recovery via settlement and safely conduct a settlement leading to data recovery or other agreement. ## LEARN MORE ABOUT: [![Ransomware Preparedness](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/5816394/hubfs/CLEAN-images/gfx/lazy-placeholder-100x100.jpg?width=62&height=62&name=lazy-placeholder-100x100.jpg) ](https://www.groupsense.io/solutions/digital-risk-protection?hsLang=io) #### Digital Risk Protection Services GroupSense's main service focuses on providing specialized intelligence on threats throughout the clear and dark web.
