It's Monday morning. You can't access any files. Every screen shows a ransom demand. Your phone is ringing off the hook, and you have no idea who to call first. In this episode, we face the hard truth: despite your best efforts, something will go wrong someday. When that happens, the only thing that matters is your policy—your plan.

We cover four critical points: First, who to call when disaster strikes (and why a retail business's 2-hour delay turned a 1-day recovery into 2 weeks of chaos). Second, why your backups are probably useless and the quarterly testing rule that actually works. Third, the $32,000 invoice fraud that happened to an architect firm and the non-negotiable voice verification policy that prevents it. Fourth, why you need a response plan for your family, not just your business—because the stress of your business burning down while your personal accounts are drained is when people break.

This episode gives you the practical, actionable checklist that turns panic into action. Whether you're a business owner, IT professional, or someone protecting their family's digital life, this is your incident response framework.

Real stories. Real lessons. Real protection.
