What evidence do you need before restoring after ransomware?

Before restoring after ransomware, teams need evidence that the selected recovery point is accessible, restorable, uncorrupted, free of ransomware impact, and free of malware or persistence that could restart the incident. They also need to know the affected scope and the clean boundary between safe and unsafe recovery points.

That evidence should be timestamped and tied to the specific asset or recovery point, so security, infrastructure, legal, insurance, and executive teams are working from the same recovery facts.
