FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond to a ransomware attack?

Our emergency response team is available 24/7. We begin remote assessment and containment within minutes of your call. For on-site response in the Triangle area, we can typically be at your location within hours.

Should I turn off my systems if I discover ransomware?

Do not turn off systems unless directed by a cybersecurity professional. Powering off can destroy volatile evidence in memory. Disconnect affected systems from the network if possible, but leave them powered on.

Should I pay the ransom?

This decision should not be made under pressure. Contact us first. We assess your situation, evaluate all recovery options, and provide objective guidance. In many cases, we recover data without paying.

How long does ransomware recovery take?

Recovery timelines vary based on scope, backup availability, and environment complexity. Simple incidents may resolve in days; complex attacks affecting entire networks may take weeks. We prioritize your most critical business functions first.

Can you guarantee data recovery?

We cannot guarantee 100 percent recovery in every situation, as outcomes depend on the variant, backups, and encryption extent. However, our team has an excellent track record using backup restoration, decryption tools, and forensic recovery techniques.
