Overview
Why this matters
Modern ransomware doesn't just encrypt one file — it disables backups, exfiltrates sensitive data, deletes shadow copies, and spreads laterally across shared drives and mapped network folders. What you do in the first hour matters more than anything else: powering off spreads the damage, paying the ransom funds the next attack, and running random 'ransomware decryptor' tools destroys evidence and recovery chances.
We follow a proven emergency-response process: isolate infected devices, identify the ransomware family, pull known-good decryptors where they exist, restore encrypted files from clean immutable backups, remove the persistence mechanism, and lock the system down against re-infection with real-time EDR, MFA, and offline backups. Pair this with our virus and malware removal for single-machine cleanups, data recovery for drives that also failed physically, and business backup and disaster recovery so the next attempt has nothing to encrypt.
What's included
Everything you get — no extras to chase.
Ransomware Family Identification
We identify the strain (LockBit, Akira, Black Basta, Play, etc.), check the No More Ransom database for free decryptors, and pursue every legitimate recovery path before any ransom is even considered.
Safe Containment (No Panic Reboots)
Isolate the infected machine from Wi-Fi and network drives, preserve forensic evidence, and stop lateral spread — without powering off, which often destroys memory-resident decryption keys.
Clean Backup Restoration
Restore encrypted files from clean, immutable backups (yours or ours). We verify the backup itself isn't compromised before restoring — critical, because ransomware also targets detected backup sets.
Full Persistence Removal
Manual inspection and cleanup of scheduled tasks, services, WMI subscriptions, startup entries, and lateral-movement footholds. If it's not removed completely, it comes back.
Post-Attack Hardening
Deploy managed EDR, enforce MFA, segment the network, install real 3-2-1 immutable backups, and train your staff — the same stack that stops the next attack quickly.
How it works
Simple, transparent, no surprises.
01
Emergency call
Call (919) 737-5442 during business hours. We triage over the phone, tell you exactly what to unplug, and dispatch a tech.
02
Contain + identify
Isolate the machine from network + Wi-Fi, preserve evidence, identify the ransomware family, and check for legitimate free decryptors.
03
Recover + clean
Restore encrypted files from clean immutable backups, fully remove the payload and persistence, and rebuild any machine that can't be safely cleaned.
04
Harden + monitor
Deploy EDR, MFA, and immutable backup so the next attempt is stopped quickly — we watch the environment for a full 30 days after cleanup.
Honest expectations
What we can and can't promise
Recovery depends on which ransomware family hit you and whether clean backups exist. Where backups are intact, we can usually restore everything. Where they aren't, we try free decryptors, shadow copies and file carving — but we cannot guarantee decryption or full recovery of encrypted files, and we'll tell you honestly what your odds are at the assessment stage before you spend anything.

FAQs
Questions we hear a lot.
If you don't see your question here, just call or text us.
Almost never. Paying funds the next attack and often doesn't get your data back. In most cases we recover from clean backups, free public decryptors, or partial file-carving — without paying a cent. If payment is ever the only option, we walk you through the legal, insurance and OFAC-sanctions checks first.
