The Secure Data Recovery Story

Founded in 2007 in Los Angeles, Secure Data Recovery started as a single-location data recovery company built out of a clear need. Too many users were losing access to critical files after hardware failures, and most computer repair shops simply didn't have the tools or expertise to recover them.

From day one, our mission has been to recover what others cannot, and we continue to deliver on that promise for every case we take on.

Fair & Transparent Pricing

We know that data recovery costs are important to customers. That is why we offer free diagnostics and quotes with our standard service. So there are no surprises. In short, the cost of data recovery depends on several factors, including the device type and the extent of physical or logical damage. These factors are unique to your case. As a result, our staff can only give an exact price once technicians assess your device inside a certified cleanroom. Once diagnosed, we present an accurate quote that reflects the time investment required for a successful recovery. We will not exceed the amount quoted for the given work. You can choose one of our flexible service options or elect not to proceed.

Data recovery services that provide flat-rate pricing are incentivized to declare devices with complex failures as a lost cause. We specialize in retrieving data that others cannot.

Madeline B. Redd

I''ve had a dozen floppy disks in my position for twenty years and was told by two recovery agencies they could find nothing. So I decided to try again and I hit the jackpot. After speaking with Scott M., who gave me options toward recognizing my data, I gave permission and within a few days was contacted that my data was recoverable. Scott and his team were very respectful towards my many questions and was always ready to answer them. I am so blessed to have found this business and would definitely use them again as well as recommended them to others. Thank you.

BEST SUPPORTIVE COMPANY

Last month, my external hard drive had a bad fall in my bedroom. As a result, the item was unable to connect with my laptop. Luckily, I was able to contact Secure Data Recovery. The person I talked to was Scott McMaken, and he is one of the kindest, funniest, and most knowledgeable people who helped me at this time of anxiety. He and everyone that I contacted showed me great service! I appreciate all the support that was given to me! Lastly, everything that was on my external drive was recovered!!! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS!!!

When my external hard drive was damaged for a second time I had no hesitation in reconnecting with Jason. He and his company did exactly what I expected: they recovered my data with the minimum of fuss and with total security. It's comforting to know that should I have a data loss issue again, they stand ready to assist. I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else!
