SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type II & SOC 3 Audited Data Recovery Company

Secure Data Recovery Services undergoes rigorous SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 audits of its cybersecurity management controls, independently verified by a third-party auditor. These audits demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security across every aspect of our operations.

Organizations of all sizes trust us with their most confidential and sensitive data, including government agencies, military branches, and multinational corporations. We honor that trust by ensuring your data remains protected at every stage of the recovery process, from intake through delivery.

SSAE 18 Security Standards In Data Recovery

Data recovery is an inherently invasive process. Our engineers perform complex physical repairs inside a certified Class 10 ISO 4 cleanroom, and use custom-designed software utilities to reconstruct file systems and partition tables during intensive logical recovery operations. At every stage, your data is exposed to our systems, our tools, and our engineers which is precisely why independent security auditing matters.

Most data recovery companies are not subject to the audit standards that apply to enterprise data centers, SaaS providers, and financial service organizations. Secure Data Recovery Services voluntarily submits to SSAE 18 auditing at that same level, providing independent verification that our facilities, processes, and security controls meet the standards required to keep your data safe from unauthorized access at every point in the recovery process.

We hold our engineers, our facilities, and our data handling procedures to the highest security standards in the industry not because we are required to, but because the data entrusted to us deserves nothing less.

Why SSAE 18 Audits Matter to Your Data

When you hand over a hard drive, server, or phone containing sensitive personal or business data, you are placing a significant amount of trust in the company receiving it. Third-party audits exist precisely to give that trust a verifiable foundation. Rather than taking a company's word for how it handles your data, an independent audit examines the actual controls, processes, and security systems in place and issues a formal opinion on whether they meet the required standards.

Since May 1, 2017, the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 18, or SSAE 18, has served as the benchmark standard established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for evaluating how organizations handle sensitive information, manage third-party relationships, and assess and mitigate cybersecurity threats. A company that submits to SSAE 18 auditing is not self-certifying; it is opening its internal controls to independent scrutiny and standing behind the results.

Secure Data Recovery Services is independently audited across three SSAE 18 Service Organization Control categories:

SOC 1 Type II evaluates the accuracy of how an organization describes its control systems, the suitability of their design, and their effectiveness in protecting customer financial data. This audit covers internal controls related to financial reporting and is particularly relevant for organizations in finance, accounting, and any industry where data accuracy carries regulatory weight.

SOC 2 Type II evaluates controls relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. This is the most comprehensive of the three audits, examining not just whether security controls exist but whether they operated effectively over an extended period. For customers entrusting us with sensitive personal or business data, this is the audit that matters most.

SOC 3 covers the same scope as the SOC 2 examination and provides a publicly shareable summary of our security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls. It is designed for customers who want confidence in how their information is handled without requiring access to the full restricted report.

Together these audits mean that when you choose Secure Data Recovery Services, you are not relying on a promise. You are relying on independently verified controls that have been examined, tested, and formally reported on by a qualified third-party auditor.
