Frequently Asked Questions

CyberCaution is a privacy-first ransomware readiness assessment platform that helps organizations understand, prioritize, and improve their defense against ransomware attacks. Unlike traditional compliance checklists, CyberCaution provides a structured workflow that evaluates ransomware-relevant conditions and generates actionable remediation roadmaps.

CyberCaution follows a three-step process:

1. 1. Assess Exposure: Evaluate ransomware-relevant conditions across identity, access, backups, segmentation, monitoring, and response readiness.
2. 2. Contextualize Threats: Overlay industry-specific threat signals and ransomware patterns to understand how attackers would likely operate against your organization.
3. 3. Prioritize Actions: Generate a remediation roadmap focused on reducing blast radius, dwell time, and recovery impact.

No, you don't need to create an account. CyberCaution is designed with privacy-first principles, allowing you to start your assessment immediately without any registration. All data is stored locally in your browser and never leaves your device.

Yes, absolutely. CyberCaution is built with privacy-first architecture:

• All processing happens locally in your browser
• Your assessment data never leaves your device
• No data is transmitted to external servers
• You maintain complete control over your information

The CyberCaution assessment evaluates ransomware-relevant conditions across six critical areas:

• • Identity & Access Management: Authentication, authorization, and privilege management
• • Backup & Recovery: Data protection, backup strategies, and recovery capabilities
• • Network Segmentation: Isolation strategies and lateral movement prevention
• • Monitoring & Detection: Security monitoring, threat detection, and alerting
• • Incident Response: Response planning, procedures, and readiness
• • Threat Context: Industry-specific threat intelligence and attack patterns

No, CyberCaution is not a vulnerability scanner. It does not scan your systems or attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. Instead, it is a structured workflow that helps you evaluate ransomware-relevant conditions and understand how attackers would likely operate against your organization. CyberCaution focuses on exposure, blast radius, and recovery blockers rather than individual vulnerabilities.

The time required depends on the depth and scope of your assessment. A basic assessment can be completed in 30-60 minutes, while a comprehensive evaluation may take several hours. You can work through the assessment at your own pace and save your progress as you go. The assessment is designed to be thorough yet efficient, focusing on actionable insights rather than exhaustive checklists.

After completing your assessment, you receive:

• • Exposure Analysis: Detailed evaluation of your ransomware readiness across critical areas
• • Threat Context: Industry-specific threat intelligence and attack pattern analysis
• • Prioritized Remediation Roadmap: Actionable steps organized by risk and impact
• • Executive Summary: Clear reporting suitable for stakeholders and decision-makers

Yes, you can export your assessment results in various formats for sharing with your team, stakeholders, or for documentation purposes. Since all data is stored locally in your browser, you have full control over when and how you export your results.

CyberCaution is different in several key ways:

• • Privacy-First: All processing happens locally; your data never leaves your device
• • Ransomware-Focused: Specifically designed for ransomware readiness, not generic security
• • Execution-Oriented: Focuses on practical execution rather than compliance checklists
• • Threat Context: Integrates industry-specific threat intelligence and attack patterns
• • No Account Required: Start immediately without registration or setup
• • Actionable Outputs: Generates prioritized remediation roadmaps, not just reports

CyberCaution offers different license tiers (Free, Starter Kit, Analyst Kit, Pro Kit, Enterprise) to meet various organizational needs. You can start with a free assessment to evaluate the platform. For detailed pricing information, please visit our pricing page.
