Our Certified ISO Cleanroom Gives Your Drive the Best Chance
DriveSavers operates the industry’s largest state-of-the-art Certified ISO Cleanroom environment. To ensure the best possible outcomes in data recovery, all hard disk drive physical recovery operations take place in the DriveSavers state-of-the-art Cleanroom setting — the industry’s pinnacle of controlled environments.
Our Certified ISO Class 5 Cleanroom follows the guidelines set by the leading hard drive and storage manufacturers. Inside it, engineers examine failed HDDs,check them for physical defects and make precise component-level repairs. Our recovery methods won’t invalidate the original hard drive warranty.
Opening a hard drive anywhere else is a gamble, as the image shows: tiny airborne particles settle on the exposed platters, upset the read-write heads and can damage the platter surface during recovery. Learn more.
X-Ray Technology
We use X-ray imaging to diagnose storage media precisely, spotting irregularities and critical damage without risking the device. It lets us confirm suspected component failure, widens what we can recover and validates our ball grid array (BGA) rework. Noother data recovery service has this technology in its lab.
Data Security
During Data Recovery
Plenty of data recovery companies claim the same experience, service and security as DriveSavers. We can back it up: SSAE 18, SOC 2, ISO Class 5 Cleanroom, PCI DSS and UK GDPR. See the proof.
Encryption Technology Specialists
Encryption is a specialism of ours. DriveSavers engineers understand what it takes to recover data from failed hard drives of every kind, and they are trained in the leading encryption software, so both file-level and disk-level encrypted data can be retrieved safely. Whether it sits on encrypted hardware, software, email, network storage,web content or backup devices, the original encryption standards are maintained throughout the recovery.
We go beyond recovery. If your organisation has particular security requirements, we can adapt our service to meet them.
Full Decryption
Give us your encryption keys and our engineers will recover and decrypt your data, check its integrity, then return it either encrypted or fully decrypted, whichever you prefer.
Image-Only
Image-Only returns an exact image of the device, ready to be re-integrated into your system with the original encryption settings untouched. Decrypting the data afterwards is your responsibility.
Additional Security
Once the recovery is complete, we can securely recycle your old storage device at no extra cost. Our approved degausser permanently destroys any residual data on the source drive.
