# Testing Ransomware Recovery Procedures
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Validating that ransomware recovery plans actually work under realistic conditions
- Measuring RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) against business requirements
- Testing backup restore operations to confirm data integrity and completeness after simulated encryption
- Conducting tabletop exercises or live recovery drills for ransomware scenarios
- Auditing disaster recovery readiness as part of compliance or cyber insurance requirements
**Do not use** for active incident response during a live ransomware attack. Use dedicated IR playbooks instead.
