Finally, recovered data is checked for accessibility and organized so we can verify what was saved. It is then placed onto a new storage, following clear security and privacy practices.

Once the device is stable, the next step is to create a low-risk copy (image) of the data. All further work happens on that image: repairing file systems, rebuilding partitions or RAID layouts, and, in many cases, performing detailed file…

If the device itself is damaged, it may need physical work first. In a controlled environment, technicians focus on stabilizing the hardware just enough to read from it safely. This step is only used when there is actual hardware damage.

The process starts with learning what happened and examining the device. Technicians determine whether the problem is mainly logical (deletion, corruption, ransomware impact) or physical (mechanical damage, electronic failure, liquid or impact damage). That diagnosis shapes the safest way forward.
