Terms of Service
Last updated July 2026
What this site is
Enterprise Ransomware Defense Center is an independent educational and resource platform covering enterprise ransomware defense: a playbook, a readiness assessment tool, threat intelligence, and a directory of vetted providers. By using this site, you agree to these terms.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this site — including the readiness assessment score, the report it generates, the playbook, or threat intelligence — is a substitute for a professional security assessment, penetration test, legal counsel, or insurance advice. The assessment is based on self-reported answers and is intended as a starting point for internal discussion, not a certification of security posture.
The provider directory
Directory listings are independently compiled from public information, and paid tiers (Verified Partner, Featured) receive additional visibility, never different facts — see our editorial & listing policy for exactly what that does and doesn't affect. Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement that a given provider is right for your specific situation — you're responsible for your own due diligence before engaging any provider.
Acceptable use
Use this site's forms and tools for their intended purpose — genuine incident response requests, genuine assessment answers, genuine partner inquiries. Don't attempt to scrape, resell, or misuse the directory or threat intelligence content, or submit false information through the emergency help form.
Limitation of liability
This site is provided "as is." We are not liable for actions taken (or not taken) based on its content, tools, or directory listings, including decisions about incident response, insurance, or security investments. In an active incident, engage qualified professionals immediately rather than relying solely on this site.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site evolves. Material changes will update the "last updated" date above.
