Ransomware & Crisis
Legal Response
When ransomware hits, you need a lawyer before you need IT.
India's only dedicated ransomware legal response practice — attorney-client privilege from minute one, negotiation authority, CERT-In notification, forensic evidence preservation, regulatory representation, and insurance claim support. Retainer clients get a 2-hour response SLA.
Our Crisis Response Process
What happens in the first 6 hours
When ransomware hits, the first 6 hours are the most critical — legally, technically, and regulatorily. This is exactly when SIRI is deployed.
Attorney-client privilege established
Legal retainer activated. All communications, forensic findings, and incident documentation are immediately protected from regulatory subpoena and third-party discovery.
Legal triage & evidence preservation
Forensic evidence collection begins under legal oversight. Attorney directs preservation strategy to ensure court-admissible evidence while minimising operational disruption.
CERT-In notification filed
India's mandatory 6-hour breach notification obligation met with 2 hours to spare. Notification drafted by attorneys to minimise regulatory exposure while fulfilling all disclosure requirements.
Ransom negotiation assessment
Legal analysis of payment legality (sanctions screening), negotiation strategy, cryptocurrency transaction legal risk, and threat actor assessment completed with legal authority to proceed.
Insurance Claim Support
Cyber insurance policy review, claim documentation preparation, insurer liaison, coverage dispute representation, and policy compliance validation during incident response.
Regulatory Representation
Ongoing representation before CERT-In, SEBI, RBI, TRAI, and other sector regulators following a breach — managing enforcement risk and negotiating outcomes.
Data Subject Notification
Legal drafting and oversight of all customer and employee data breach notifications — minimising litigation risk while meeting DPDPA and international notification obligations.
Board & C-Suite Advisory
Direct advisory to board and executive team on legal exposure, D&O liability, disclosure obligations, and crisis communications strategy during active incidents.
Post-Incident Litigation
If litigation follows — we represent you with the complete incident record already protected by privilege. From regulatory proceedings to civil claims against threat actors.
Retainer Preparedness
Pre-incident retainer clients receive IR plan drafting, tabletop exercises, playbook preparation, and priority response within 2 hours of incident declaration.
Why SIRI
Why you need an attorney
before you call IT support.
No other firm in India combines attorney-client privilege with technical execution across cybersecurity and emerging technology law.
Book Free Consultation →- Privilege Protects You
IT forensics findings can be subpoenaed. Legal-directed forensics cannot. Activating SIRI first means your worst findings stay protected — always.
- 6-Hour CERT-In Deadline Is Real
India's mandatory breach notification has criminal penalties for non-compliance. SIRI files the notification — correctly — while you manage the technical response.
- Ransom Payment Is a Legal Decision
Paying ransomware has legal consequences — sanctions violations, insurance conditions, evidentiary considerations. This requires an attorney, not just an IT team.
- 24/7 Retainer SLA
SIRI Shield ransomware retainer clients get a 2-hour response SLA. The moment an attack is detected, your legal response begins simultaneously with your IT response.
Don't wait for a ransomware attack
to discover you need us.
Get on SIRI's ransomware retainer before an incident occurs. We'll build your legal response playbook, test your incident procedures, and be ready to respond within 2 hours.
