re: Security specialists in LA that can prepare a company for a ransomware attack

Adding to PacLSUs good advice.

One, stop it from coming in via exploits by keeping your systems patched.

Two, disrupt its spread by practicing the principle of least privilege.

Three, the backup location should only be accessible by a special user account that is only used for backups.

I can't stress enough how important the principle of least privilege is in preventing the spread of ransomware. Ransomware inherits the the permission of the user that runs it. If that user has permission to every file on your network, then your entire network is fricked.
