1. Stabilize

Preserve evidence; do not wipe yet. Isolate affected machines from the network if ransomware is active.

2. Call partners

MSP, insurer hotline, bank if wire fraud.

3. Identity

Reset suspected accounts; revoke sessions; audit MFA methods.

4. Communicate

Internal facts only; no speculation to clients yet.

5. Decide restore vs investigate path

With counsel/insurer as required.
