The best protection against Ransomware is a proactive, regularly tested backup strategy. Use secure, offsite or immutable backups that are separated from your main network. This ensures you can restore your data quickly without paying the ransom.

🛡️ Ransomware Backup Readiness Checklist

Protect your SME from ransomware with proactive, tested backups.

✅ Use the 3-2-1 Backup Rule

* 3 copies of data
* 2 different storage types
* 1 offsite or cloud-based backup

✅ Store backups off-network

* Use air-gapped or immutable storage
* Prevent ransomware from reaching backups

✅ Test backups regularly

* Run monthly recovery tests
* Automate backup verification if possible

✅ Use access controls

Enable MFA on backup platforms
Restrict access to backup systems

✅ Set long retention periods

* Keep backups for 30+ days to catch dormant threats

✅ Encrypt and isolate backup data

* Protect backups from internal and external threats

✅ Integrate backup into your incident response plan

* Ensure fast recovery procedures are in place

✅ Review your cyber insurance policy

* Confirm backup requirements
* Identify approved recovery vendors like R3DataRecovery.com

💡 Pro Tip: Backups are only as good as your last test. Schedule one today.
