Summary for the
board of directors
One page, no jargon: what we tested, what it means for the business and which decisions are needed now. The technical detail is in the dedicated report.
An attacker starting from an ordinary workstation took full control of the systems in under five minutes, exfiltrating data and simulating ransomware, without antivirus, EDR/XDR, the MDR service or the SOC detecting or stopping them. The defenses exist, but today they do not protect what they are meant to protect.
Four figures for the board
Where we are truly exposed
Translated into impact terms, beyond the technical detail.
Data and clients
Project documents, credentials and confidential information can leave the company unnoticed: a data breach with notification obligations and reputational damage.
Business continuity
The ransomware simulation encrypted the data with no blocking: in a real scenario this means operational downtime and unplanned recovery costs.
Compliance
The lack of detection and the weakness of controls affect security and notification obligations (e.g. NIS2, GDPR) and the liability of the management bodies.
Risk map
Impact × Likelihood · exampleThe three main risks
The defenses do not see the attack
Antivirus, EDR/XDR and the MDR service neither detected nor stopped the chain; the SOC opened no case.
Data can leave undisturbed
No control intercepted the exfiltration of information to the outside.
Ransomware would not be stopped in time
Encryption completed with no automatic blocking or containment by the MDR.
What happens if we stay as we are
unmanaged impact
With defenses that neither detect nor block, a real incident is not a remote possibility but a matter of time: operational downtime, data exfiltration, ransom, notifications to authorities and clients, reputational damage and possible penalties. The cost of a single incident normally far exceeds that of the remediation actions proposed below.
Where to direct resources, and in what order
- Reconfigure the protection tools into blocking mode
- Review response and isolation times with the MDR provider
- Eliminate weak and local credentials
- Introduce data egress control (DLP) and segmentation
- Adopt anti-ransomware protection and verified backups
- Complete monitoring toward the SOC
- Strengthen privileged access management
- Recurring training and simulations
- Repeat the Data Breach Resilience Test to measure progress
From the snapshot to the decision.
This summary accompanies the full technical report, with the attack timeline, the evidence and the MITRE ATT&CK matrix. Together they give the board everything needed to decide with full knowledge.
