Forensic Data Recovery

Forensic data recovery is the retrieval of deleted or inaccessible data using digital forensic methods. Unlike standard data recovery, the process preserves the integrity of the evidence and produces results that can be reported. Wherever possible, Nokta Guard first creates a forensic image and performs all recovery work on that image.

Important: stop using the device

As soon as you notice data loss, stop using the device. Continued use can overwrite deleted data and reduce the chance of recovery.

Running off-the-shelf recovery software without care carries the same risk. Power the device down and contact us.

02 / 04

What determines whether data can be recovered?

The outcome depends on the physical condition of the device, the storage technology (HDD, SSD, flash), the file system, the time since deletion and whether the data has been overwritten. That is why we never promise a guaranteed result up front.

Preliminary review

Once we receive the material, we carry out a preliminary review and share the likelihood of recovery, the applicable methods and an estimated timeframe. Work starts only after you approve this assessment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay if the data cannot be recovered?

The pricing model depends on the type of work. Terms are shared in writing after the preliminary review, and no work begins without your approval.

I had my device opened or formatted. Is there still a chance?

It depends. Data can sometimes be recovered after formatting, but if the device has been used since, the data may have been overwritten. A preliminary review will clarify the situation.

How long does data recovery take?

Duration varies from case to case depending on the type of device or material, the data volume and the scope of the examination. We share an estimated timeframe after the initial assessment. Physically damaged or encrypted drives may take longer;

How is the confidentiality of my data protected?

A non-disclosure agreement is signed, the material is kept in an access-restricted environment, and working copies are either not retained at all or kept for 3 or 6 months, as the client prefers, and then securely destroyed.
