This project achieved compliance readiness in under 90 days—without slowing development.

Challenge

The client faced strict compliance requirements, limited visibility, and a high risk of lateral movement.

Solution

ECIS implemented a zero-trust architecture in AWS GovCloud with identity-aware access and centralized logging.

Overview

A ransomware attack disrupted operations and threatened critical data. Immediate containment was required to prevent escalation and avoid operational shutdown.

Solution

ECIS led a coordinated containment and recovery effort:

  • Isolated infected systems to halt propagation
  • Conducted forensic analysis to identify entry vectors
  • Restored clean backups to resume operations
  • Deployed EDR and segmentation controls to prevent recurrence

Impact

  • Fully restored operations without paying ransom
  • Eliminated attacker persistence within the environment
  • Strengthened long-term resilience against similar attacks

Why It Matters

Ransomware is not just a security issue—it’s a business continuity threat.
Prepared environments recover. Unprepared ones pay.
