Keeping your Data Secure - Hard Drive 911 Data Recovery Employs the following security procedures for every recovery. You should not have to pay extra to be confident your data is safe and sound.

1. All physical premises and storage media are accessed only by personnel specifically authorized by Hard Drive 911 Data Recovery after meting industry-leading requirements including through vetting of background history and technical capability.
2. Every recovery is performed on a dedicated recovery platform.
3. Every recovery platform is verified virus-free.
4. Our networks are isolated from the internet. As an added degree of safety, our recovery platforms are not networked to the internet. This air-gap security prevents any data from entering or leaving the recovery platform during the recovery process.
5. All recoveries are preformed to individual volumes. Your data is written to a discrete volume which is not accessed or shared by any other recovery during the recovery process. This guarantees no co-mingling of your data with other clients.
6. Your recovered data is stored securely until you receive it. We have never had an instance of data loss in transit, but clients have deleted data once returned. This removes the need for duplicate recovery in the event of a client error.
