Our data recovery methodology

8 rigorous steps, ISO Class 5 clean room, world-leading tools, and full chain of custody. This is how we recover your data with the highest guarantee.

✓ ISO 9001 · ISO 27001 ✓ ISO Class 5 Clean Room ✓ No data, no fee

Process overview

Our recovery process consists of 8 steps: reception with chain of custody, clean room diagnosis (max. 4h), no-obligation quote, approval, recovery with PC-3000/DeepSpar/chip-off, integrity verification (MD5+SHA256), delivery on a new drive + encrypted download link, and certified secure erasure. No data, no fee.

Step-by-step recovery process

1

Reception and registration

Your device is received at our laboratory via free home collection or in-person delivery. It is photographed, labelled with a unique code, and registered in the chain of custody. From this moment, every action is documented: who, when, and what was done.

2

Clean room diagnosis — ISO Class 5

A specialised technician examines the device in our ISO 14644 Class 5 certified clean room (fewer than 100 particles per cubic foot). The type and severity of the failure are identified: logical, electronic, mechanical, or firmware. Maximum turnaround: 4 hours.

3

Detailed no-obligation quote

You receive a fixed-price quote by email or phone with: fault diagnosis, proposed recovery technique, estimated success rate, timeframe, and final price. No surprises or hidden costs.

4

Client approval

We never begin without your explicit authorisation. If you decline the quote, we return your device at no cost. If you accept, we sign the work order and begin recovery.

5

Data recovery

Depending on the case, we apply the most appropriate technique:

  • Bit-by-bit cloning — Forensic image of the drive before any intervention.
  • PC-3000 UDMA / Flash / SAS — Advanced diagnosis, firmware repair, service area access.
  • DeepSpar DDI — Specialised cloning of drives with bad or unstable sectors.
  • Chip-off — Desoldering and direct reading of the NAND chip for SSD, USB, eMMC, and mobile devices.
  • Cellebrite UFED — Forensic data extraction from iOS and Android mobile devices.
6

Integrity verification

All recovered files are verified using MD5 and SHA-256 hashes. We check that every file opens correctly and is free from corruption. You receive a report with the full list of recovered files before delivery.

7

Delivery on a new external drive + encrypted link

Recovered data is delivered on a new external drive (included in the price) via insured courier. Additionally, we provide an AES-256 encrypted download link valid for 7 days for immediate access.

8

Certified secure erasure

Once you confirm receipt of your data, the original device and all working copies undergo certified secure erasure (NIST 800-88, multiple-pass overwrite). You receive a data destruction certificate. Full GDPR compliance.
