Success Story: Surviving Ransomware
Immutable backups defeated a “Play” ransomware attack
In 2024, the Play Ransomware group targeted a Canadian organization, encrypting production systems in a double extortion attempt to halt core operations.
Background
The Solutioners mobilised containment, recovery, and verification teams in parallel so the organization could keep critical services available while the investigation unfolded.
Timeline of the Response
- STEP 1
Immediate Containment
Compromised systems were isolated and credentials revoked to prevent the ransomware's spread.
- STEP 2
Immutable Recovery
Operations were initiated from verified, tamper-proof immutable backups, ensuring data integrity.
- STEP 3
Verification & Reintegration
Restored systems were scanned and monitored to confirm a clean environment before resuming business.

Key Takeaways
Immutability is Essential
Immutable backups ensured data integrity and enabled a complete, safe recovery.
Preparedness Beats Negotiation
A robust architecture eliminated the need to consider ransom payments.
Rapid Response Matters
Immediate containment actions limited the scope and duration of impact.
Resilience Through Design
A well-structured plan turned a potential crisis into a recoverable event.
Success Story: Rebuilding After DoppelPaymer
Remote isolation became the launchpad for full operational recovery
An isolated remote site became the blueprint for restoring authentication, data, and revenue in a DoppelPaymer outbreak—without paying ransom.

Success Story: Rebuilding After DoppelPaymer
Remote isolation became the launchpad for full operational recovery
In 2020, a Canadian enterprise experienced a widespread ransomware attack that encrypted critical infrastructure and backups across multiple locations.
Challenge
The ransomware campaign encrypted all accessible servers in the organization's main datacenter, including backup management systems. Operations at every connected office halted simultaneously.
Response Strategy
Isolation and Assessment
All network links to infected systems were disconnected. The unimpacted remote site was validated through forensic inspection to confirm a trustworthy baseline.
Rebuilding the Core Infrastructure
The clean environment became the reference for rebuilding Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and authentication services from scratch.
Data Restoration and Reintegration
Validated data was restored from offline and third-party backups before production workloads were redeployed.
Hardening the Environment
Segmentation boundaries, immutable backups, and stronger privileged access policies were implemented to prevent recurrence.
Outcome
Rapid decision-making and a controlled rebuild methodology restored critical business operations without paying ransom and in a faster window than comparable DoppelPaymer incidents.
Key Takeaways
Segmentation Saves
Isolated networks can halt ransomware spread and preserve recovery points.
Clean Foundations Matter
Maintaining golden controllers or clean snapshots enables trusted rebuilds.
Assume Backups Are Targets
Backups must be air-gapped and immutable to withstand modern ransomware threats.
Preparedness Reduces Cost
Predefined recovery workflows keep response structured and limit downtime.
Success Story: Compliance Automation & Framework Harmony
How Solutioners GRC engineers transformed governance for finance, software, and giga-project clients
Automated evidence, harmonised frameworks, and risk-aware dashboards delivered compliance agility across the GCC, Riyadh, Toronto, and Vision 2030 programmes.

Success Story: Compliance Automation & Framework Harmony
How Solutioners GRC engineers transformed governance for finance, software, and giga-project clients
Manual spreadsheets and siloed registers kept three organisations in constant audit scramble. Solutioners deployed modern GRC operations so teams could prove control effectiveness, satisfy regulators, and keep innovation on track.
Financial Sector — Leading Islamic Bank in the GCC
Challenge
SAMA Cybersecurity Framework requirements outpaced manual evidence tracking. Decentralised risk registers delayed reporting and left executives blind to control health.
Solution
Implemented a central GRC platform integrated with core IT systems, automated control assessments mapped to SAMA domains, and stood up recurring internal verifications.
Results
Audit preparation time dropped by 65%, continuous monitoring covered 12 departments, and CISO/Board dashboards surfaced live compliance status.
Technology Firm — ISO 27001 Certification Readiness
Challenge
A global development company needed an ISMS that met contractual and regulatory demands without slowing agile releases across Riyadh and Toronto.
Solution
Conducted an ISO 27001 gap assessment, mapped risks across business units, built a treatment plan, authored policies for asset management, access control, and incident response, and facilitated internal audits and management reviews.
Results
ISO 27001 certification achieved in six months, security controls standardised across on-prem and cloud, and enterprise client onboarding accelerated.
Integrated Framework Alignment — Vision 2030 Giga-Project
A construction and development leader supporting Saudi Vision 2030 needed to harmonise NCA ECC, ISO 27001, and the forthcoming NIST CSF 2.0 while managing giga-project delivery.
Challenge
Control ownership was fragmented, visibility into risk posture was low, evidence management lagged, and policies conflicted across frameworks.
Solution
Delivered a control crosswalk covering ECC, ISO 27001:2022, and NIST 2.0, built a central risk management framework with treatment plans and ownership matrices, standardised policies across access, incident response, data protection, and third-party security, and launched a GRC dashboard with real-time compliance status and audit tracking.
Results
95% readiness for the NCA ECC audit, ISO 27001 certification package prepared within six months, redundant controls reduced by 42%, governance aligned to NIST CSF functions, and automated evidence increased executive confidence.

Key Takeaways
Automation Elevates Visibility

Framework Harmony Avoids Burnout
Crosswalking overlapping standards removes duplicate effort while satisfying regulators.
Certification Follows Readiness
Structured roadmaps compress certification timelines without sacrificing agility.
Continuous Verification Builds Trust
Recurring internal assessments maintain compliance posture between external audits.
