> A free, interactive ransomware readiness assessment tool for organizations of all sizes. No account required. Results are generated client-side and never stored.

## What this site does

RansomwareMaturity.com provides a structured maturity assessment across seven ransomware defense domains, helping security teams and executives benchmark their current posture and prioritize improvements.

The tool covers 80+ criteria across seven domains:
- **Prevention Controls** — EDR/XDR, ZTNA/SWG, AD/Entra ID hardening, CSPM/CIEM, SaaS data protection, data classification, DLP, firmware integrity
- **Detection Capabilities** — 24/7 MDR/SOC coverage, ITDR, AI/ML behavioral anomaly detection, SOAR-driven alert triage
- **Response Readiness** — Double/triple extortion playbooks, out-of-band communications plan, CIRCIA compliance, ransomware negotiation retainer, OFAC-screened payment framework
- **Recovery Capabilities** — Air-gapped immutable backups, 3-2-1-1-0 strategy, clean-room recovery, chaos testing, RTO/RPO validation
- **Organizational Preparedness** — AI phishing/deepfake simulation, MSP/RMM audit, software supply chain security (SBOM/SLSA)
- **Governance** — Ransom payment policy with OFAC screening, post-quantum cryptography migration roadmap, cyber insurance pre-claims readiness
- **AI & Agentic Security** — AI agent inventory, prompt injection testing, model supply chain integrity, AI-generated malware evasion preparedness (new for 2026)

## Who should use this

- CISOs and security leaders needing a board-ready maturity baseline
- IT and security teams conducting annual or quarterly self-assessments
- Risk managers evaluating organizational cyber resilience
- Consultants performing client ransomware readiness gap analyses
- Any organization in healthcare, financial services, government, education, manufacturing, retail, or technology sectors

## Assessment methodology

The tool uses a 1–5 maturity model (Initial → Developing → Defined → Managed → Optimized) aligned with NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8, and industry-specific guidance from CISA, HHS HC3, FFIEC, and MS-ISAC.

Scores are calculated per domain and aggregated into an overall maturity rating. Unrated items default to Level 1 to prevent score inflation. Recommendations are deterministic and tied to specific gaps identified during the assessment.

## Threat landscape coverage (2026)

The framework is updated to reflect current threat trends:
- AI-generated phishing and deepfake social engineering
- Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) affiliate model attacks
- Double and triple extortion (encryption + data leak + DDoS)
- Identity-based attacks and no-malware ransomware techniques
- Software supply chain compromise (CI/CD poisoning, dependency confusion)
- Cloud workload and SaaS data ransomware
- OT/ICS targeting in manufacturing and critical infrastructure
