How does this skill help me prepare for a potential ransomware attack?

This skill identifies critical gaps in your security posture, such as identity vulnerabilities and backup weaknesses, and provides a weighted maturity score along with a 30/60/90-day roadmap to remediate them.

What specific files or assets are included in this purchase?

You will receive the structured 60-question assessment framework, the Python-based scoring engine for calculating maturity levels, and templates for generating executive-ready Markdown reports.

Why should I use this skill instead of just asking an AI to generate a security checklist?

Unlike basic prompts, this skill uses a weighted algorithm that prioritizes high-impact controls—like MFA and immutable backups—ensuring your remediation plan addresses the most dangerous attack vectors first.

What are the technical requirements to use the scoring and reporting features?

The skill requires a Python 3 environment to run the scoring script and is compatible with any AI agent capable of processing structured Markdown templates and conversational audits.

Can I use the reports generated by this skill for cyber insurance renewals?

Yes, the assessment is mapped to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and CISA's #StopRansomware guidance, making the outputs ideal for cyber insurance applications and executive audits.

Ransomware Readiness Assessment

Example session with this skill installed

Run a ransomware readiness assessment for Acme Corp. Start with the Identity and Remote Access domains.

I will now begin the Ransomware Readiness Assessment for Acme Corp, focusing on Identity and Remote Access. I have initialized the tracking CSV and will present the high-weight questions first.

Identity & Remote Access Assessment

Control ID	Security Control	Requirement	Response	Weight
ID-01	Multi-Factor Authentication	MFA is enforced for all remote access (VPN, VDI, SSH).	Yes	3
ID-02	Privileged Access Management	Administrative tasks require separate, non-email accounts.	Partial	3
RA-01	RDP Exposure	RDP is not accessible directly from the public internet.	No	3
RA-02	Session Timeouts	Remote sessions automatically terminate after 60 mins of inactivity.	Yes	1

Initial Maturity Score: 58% (Identity & Remote Access)

Critical Gaps Identified:
1.

Public RDP Exposure: Internet-facing RDP is a primary entry vector for ransomware. Immediate closure or VPN encapsulation is required.
2.

Lack of Tiered Administration: Using standard accounts for admin tasks allows for credential harvesting and lateral movement.

Next steps

Complete the remaining 8 domains to generate the full weighted maturity report.
Run python3 scripts/rr_assess.py score rr_answers.csv to generate the 30/60/90-day roadmap.
Review the RA-01 remediation steps to disable public-facing RDP immediately.

About this skill

Ransomware attacks exploit predictable gaps in identity, backups, and network visibility. This skill provides a structured framework to audit these vulnerabilities and generate a prioritized hardening roadmap based on real-world attack patterns.

What it does

Structured auditing provides a 60-question assessment covering identity, remote access, backups, and governance.
Weighted scoring calculates risk based on how often specific gaps appear in active ransomware intrusions.
Maturity mapping delivers percentage-based scores across ten security domains aligned to NIST CSF and CISA guidance.
Roadmap generation produces a phased 30/60/90-day remediation plan focused on high-impact gaps.

How it works

Initialize assessment to generate the standard questionnaire template or start a conversational audit.
Collect evidence by marking controls as yes, partial, no, or not applicable with supporting notes.
Analyze results using the scoring script to calculate domain-specific and overall maturity percentages.
Export reports to Markdown to view prioritized gaps and the structured hardening roadmap.

Frameworks & tools

The skill utilizes Python scripts for template generation and scoring. It aligns with CISA #StopRansomware guidance, CIS Controls, and NIST CSF standards.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often miss the technical weighting required to prioritize MFA and immutable backups over lower-impact policy gaps. This tool uses a weighted algorithm to ensure the 30-day roadmap addresses the most likely attack vectors first.

Use cases

Insurance readiness to prepare for cyber insurance renewals and policy requirements.
Executive reporting to provide leadership with a clear percentage-based maturity score.
Annual audits to track defensive improvements over time against NIST and CIS standards.

Known limitations

Requires Python 3 for the local scoring script. Results depend on accurate self-reporting of control implementations.
