Data Recovery
Locate what was deleted. Preserve what was recovered.
Our analysts locate documents, reconstruct deleted files, and recover data from damaged or failed media. Every recovery is performed with evidentiary integrity so the data remains usable as evidence.
Overview
Recovery that does not destroy the evidence.
Most data-recovery services are optimized for speed of file return; their workflow often overwrites metadata or alters timestamps in ways that make the recovered data inadmissible. Forensic data recovery requires a different discipline: preserve the original media, work from a bit-for-bit image, and document every step.
For matters where recovered data may become evidence, this distinction matters. We recover across commercial storage media, enterprise arrays, mobile devices, legacy systems, and tape backups, and we have handled cases involving media submerged in water and pulled from commercial storage after years of neglect.
Capability
Every major media class, modern and legacy.
Modern storage
SSD and NVMe drives, mechanical hard drives, RAID arrays, SAN/NAS systems, external drives, memory cards, and USB media.
Mobile and embedded
iOS and Android devices, smartphones and tablets, and embedded flash storage in vehicles, IoT devices, and specialty hardware.
Legacy and obsolete
Tape backups, obsolete mainframe media, legacy financial record systems, and physically damaged or partially functional drives.
