Security, Encryption and Data Recovery
02 June 2010 21:27 Filed in: Drive Savers
Encrypted data storage devices are becoming more and more popular as a method of protecting sensitive data. Many businesses, government agencies and individuals are frequent users of encryption technology and some states now mandate the use of encryption software; imposing fines if proper security procedures are not followed.
Recovering encrypted data is a challenge, but DriveSavers has been extremely proactive, forming partnerships with all leading encryption software vendors. Over the last several years, our engineers have been trained and certified by government-approved encryption vendors to recover files and disk-level encrypted data safely and successfully.
Many of the methods we use for recovering encrypted data are similar to those we use daily. For example, hard drives with media damage must still be brought into a ISO-certified cleanroom environment to address mechanical issues. Once cleanroom procedures are completed, a file system engineer addresses the logical structure of the drive, looking for any missing data while decrypting the files.
Sometimes data is so sensitive, DriveSavers is only allowed to ship a fully encrypted disk image to the customer. This minimizes the risk of a data breach during transit, allowing the customer to decrypt and verify the recovered data in their own protected environment.
