Computer Forensics

Hard Disk Recovery Services have helped many companies gather electronic data from individual hard drives and systems as evidence in a court of law and in other investigations.

Our Computer Forensics process follows these stages:

Our computer forensic technicians have extensive knowledge and experience working with hard drives for the purpose of locating delicate information and piecing together all prior activity on any given system. Our technicians can hone in and locate specific data quickly because they know all the hiding places.
