The Golden Hour
Your First 60 Minutes after a Ransomware Attack
When an intruder makes their presence known in your enterprise systems; the clock starts ticking.
Having a ready plan is crucial. Without one, your business faces the risk of severe disruption, data loss, and potential long-term damage. The chaos of the initial moments can quickly escalate into a full-blown crisis, jeopardizing your operations and reputation.
But if you have a detailed, well-rehearsed, and choreographed plan, you can steer through the turmoil with confidence. Preparedness allows you to act swiftly and decisively, mitigating the impact and protecting your organization from devastating consequences.
When there is a serious medical emergency, the First Golden Hour refers to that first critical hour – what happens within those 60 minutes can be the difference between life and death. The same applies for a ransomware attack response.
Ralph Loewen (President and CEO) discusses the reasons why every organization must have a Golden Hour plan.
The Golden Hour Detailed Design Workshop
We’ve modelled this Golden Hour Ransomware Response Plan for our clients. We are happy to share it with you. The workshop takes place via a one-hour video conference call.
The Golden Hour Detailed Design Workshop is designed to answer the three most critical questions facing your organization in the first 60 minutes of an acknowledged cyber incident. It outlines the protocols you need to have in place for the first golden hour to save and restore your most critical systems.
- What critical prerequisites must be in place to enable the immediate recovery of your most essential systems following a ransomware attack?
- Which key activities, including restoring critical systems, must be pre-calculated and executed the moment the ransomware incident is identified?
- What milestones should you achieve at T+15, T+30, T+45, and T+60 minutes?
It does not replace
your Disaster
Recovery Plan
The Golden Hour Response Plan is not designed to replace your existing disaster recovery plan. It is an important adjunct to your main cyber incident crisis plan. Its purpose is to build a robust and methodical protocol for those critical first 60 minutes to avoid panic and to perform the necessary emergency interventions to put your company in the best possible place for a speedy and full disaster recovery.

First Responders know immediate response to any emergency is critical. Acting effectively in that initial “golden hour” maximizes the chance of survival and recovery. Delays can be a death sentence. That’s why their response processes are painstakingly mapped out and exhaustively rehearsed.
The same goes for IT cyber-incident and ransomware response. Our Golden Hour Response Plan will help put the protocols in place to minimize the damage caused in the critical first 60 minutes and give you the greatest chance of a speedy recovery.
The plan is free and personalized to the needs of your organization.
