Disclaimer

This is a scripted scenario based on patterns from real EFROS engagements. Anonymized; not a specific client. Designed to teach decision-making under pressure. Dollar figures are illustrative and reflect ranges we've seen across US incident-response work — your specific numbers will vary with your industry, revenue, insurance posture, and the attacker profile.

Scripted scenario · 5 decisions · ~10 minutes

## Maria from accounting forwards you an email. Your Tuesday just went wrong.

You'll work through five decision points. At each step you'll see what most owners do, what the right move is, and what it costs to get it wrong. You can't lose money here, but you'll feel the shape of the choices.

Best on a phone or laptop. Tap the choice that matches what you actually would do, not the one you think is "right." The gap is the value.

Three self-serve next moves — the cost calculator runs your specific dollar exposure, the readiness quiz audits whether the controls in the simulation actually exist at your business, and the 20-minute call talks through your specific scenario.
