Ok you've lost data...
Here's what to do

1: Don't continue to use your device – If the failure is mechanical every time the device has power applied it could cause catastrophic unrecoverable damage. Even if it’s only lost/deleted data, powering the device on could destroy your precious data.

2: Choose your recovery company carefully – Every day we receive enquiries from people who have wasted time and money trying other “experts”. We do over 1000 recoveries a year and we get data back even when other "experts" say it can't be recovered.

3: Call us on 0800 DATALAB (328 2522) - We'll help you take the right steps to ensure the best recovery options possible. Our focus is on getting your data back.

Forensic Data Recovery

Datalab is New Zealand’s premiere data recovery and forensic lab offering world class facilities and industry leading experience. Our forensic tools and protocols ensure you receive the right information in a sound and proven matter that is also cost effective.

We pride ourselves on delivering to our clients the specific information they require from almost any device to make decisions around IP theft, malicious emails, improper conduct, infidelity and much more. Our experience means we understand the swift and quiet acquisition of data is paramount to building evidence and our cost effective solutions allow access to world class forensic tools for private individuals and large corporations.

Datalab offers full scope digital investigations but after years of being involved in Forensics we have shaped a product here at Datalab called our “quick analysis”. The “quick analysis” product allows you to determine if a specific type of file ( objectionable material, pornography etc) or single file (staff list, client list etc) has existed on almost any device.

We will generate a report here in the lab identifying the number of files or the location of a specific file alongside the details of the device to present (as legal evidence) the requested content, the system detail and relevant times and dates*

CALL 0800 328 2522 NOW TO DISCUSS YOUR INVESTIGATION

*times and dates are normally only available when tracking single files in the “quick analysis” product, for times and dates on all files a full investigative forensic report is required.
