How it works

No surprises. Four straightforward steps.

You don’t need to know anything technical to work with us. We handle the details and keep you in the loop the whole way.

01
Free consultation

Tell us what happened. We ask a few questions and let you know if we can help — before you spend anything.

02
Plan & flat quote

We explain exactly what the work involves and give you a written price upfront. No surprises, no hourly guesswork.

03
We do the work

You hand off the device (in person or via secure shipping). We do the technical work and keep you updated along the way.

04
Results & plain report

You get your device back with everything documented in plain English — what we found, what we did, and what it means.

Recovery & data access

You own your data. We help you get back into it.

Encryption, deletion, and failing hardware are not the end of the road. A certified specialist can often recover what you thought was gone.

  • Encrypted drives
    Know the password but can’t get in? We diagnose the problem and attempt recovery of VeraCrypt, BitLocker, FileVault, and most encrypted containers.
  • Deleted documents
    Files deleted accidentally, after a crash, or before you could back them up. We attempt forensic recovery from HDDs, SSDs, and USB drives.
  • Failing hardware
    Clicking, not-spinning, or not-detected drives get a clean-room-grade imaging attempt to pull data before the hardware gives up entirely.
  • Estate & account access
    Need access to a deceased family member’s device or accounts? We assist next-of-kin with documented legal authority.

When people call us

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

These are some of the situations we help with. Every case is different — if yours isn’t listed, get in touch and we’ll tell you honestly if we can help.

INDIVIDUALS

My computer started acting strange after clicking a link in an email.

You saw something that didn’t look right, clicked it before you realized, and now your computer is slow, showing ads it shouldn’t, or behaving strangely. We find out exactly what happened and clean it up.

BUSINESSES

An employee opened an attachment. Now files on the server are encrypted.

Ransomware typically enters through email. We contain it, find out how far it spread, assess what data can be recovered, and help you understand what happened so it doesn’t happen again.

INDIVIDUALS

I have photos on a hard drive that failed. They’re nowhere else.

A clicking sound, a power surge, or a drive that just stopped showing up. We image the drive as carefully as possible and attempt to recover what’s still readable from the surface.

BOTH

I have an encrypted drive I haven’t been able to get into since upgrading computers.

A password that was right, an encryption key that’s somewhere, or software that was on the old machine. We diagnose what’s blocking access and attempt to recover it — for assets you legally own.

Most computer security problems don’t happen at 2 PM on a Tuesday. We schedule around your life, not a 9-to-5.
