Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

Why is a forensic investigation necessary after a ransomware attack?
Without an investigation, you cannot fix the root cause. Attackers almost always leave hidden backdoors in your network to strike a second time. PlutoSec hunts down and closes these entry points to ensure your infrastructure is permanently secured.
Can a ransomware investigation help us recover data without paying the ransom?
Yes, that is our primary objective. Through deep digital forensics, we identify hidden or unencrypted shadow copies, test available decryption tools, and securely restore isolated cloud backups so you can avoid funding cybercriminals.
Is PlutoSec’s forensic report accepted by cyber insurance providers?
Absolutely. Canadian cyber insurance carriers require certified forensic proof before approving claims. PlutoSec preserves digital evidence according to strict chain-of-custody standards, delivering a court-ready report that validates your insurance claim.
How fast can you contain the ransomware and finish the investigation?
Our Emergency Response team begins containment within 15 minutes to stop the malware from spreading. While isolating the threat takes only a few hours, a comprehensive root cause forensic investigation typically takes 2 to 5 days, depending on the network's complexity.
Does your investigation report satisfy PIPEDA and provincial breach reporting laws?
Yes. Under Canadian regulations (like PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25), you are legally required to report the exact scope of a data breach. We provide a detailed technical assessment and data impact report that fulfills all regulatory compliance mandates.
