Mandalyn Martini, a high school math teacher from Layton, Utah, recently shared her story of data loss and recovery. After storing 15 years of priceless family photos and important documents on an external hard drive, she faced a devastating moment when the device stopped working, leaving her unable to access memories including her daughters’ baby pictures.
Is Your Data Safe at a Data Recovery Company?
With any data recovery company, you should never assume anything, especially when it comes to security.
DriveSavers guarantees the confidentiality and security of customer data. No exceptions.
Every year the company undergoes a SOC 2 Type II audit that reviews the myriad of security and privacy protocols DriveSavers has in place to protect customer data.
“The audit was clean without issues, the breadth of the audit is extensive, with well documented evidence. The control objectives and activities are in place, suitably designed, enforced and operating effectively,” said the report from Goetsch Associates, a CPA firm in Ft. Collins, CO that handled the audit of operation from June 2013–June 2014.
“DriveSavers has certainly positioned itself as a leader in the industry. In an era of security breaches, the hosting of client data needs to be provided with the utmost security and reliability,” the report said. “I’m confident with the level of controls in place; DriveSavers has the defense needed to provide the level of data security and protection needed by its clients.”
What’s Covered?
SOC 2 reports focus on controls at service organizations used to support:
Security: The system is protected against unauthorized access – both physical and logical.
Availability: The system is available for operation and use as committed or agreed.
Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, accurate, timely and authorized.
Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or agreed.
Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed and destroyed in conformity with the commitments in the entity’s privacy notice and with criteria set forth in generally accepted privacy principles. In addition, all DriveSavers employees must also pass a thorough background check as part of our security protocols.
