There are many data recovery services available that you might find online, but not all of them can be trusted. Some don’t have an ISO 5 cleanroom, and others don’t have the expertise to work with your device’s manufacturer. 

If you have an Apple Mac or iPhone, you must look for an Apple Authorized Service Provider and Independent Repair Provider. This way you can guarantee the recovery service will not affect your Mac or iPhone warranty.

You need to make sure that you choose a data recovery service that is qualified and experienced in recovering data from Apple devices. 

What is an Apple data recovery service?

A data recovery service is a service that specializes in the recovery of lost or corrupted data. It is performed by salvaging data from failed, damaged, or corrupted storage devices. 

An Apple specialized data recovery service is one that is an Apple Authorized Service Provider. This is because the expert working on your iPhone or Mac is professionally certified and experienced in Apple devices.

How to choose a data recovery service for your Apple device

When choosing a data recovery service for your iPhone or Mac, you should check to see if they are qualified and experienced in Apple device recovery. This will ensure that you get the best possible results. 

But, how to make sure you’re choosing the right data recovery service for your Apple device?

There are a few topics to check about the recovery provider. Look for those characteristics in the service provider or recovery center before contacting them.

Verify if the service is Apple Authorized 

This means that they have been vetted and approved by Apple. You can check this information by finding the Apple seal and their certificate on the recovery company’s website.


Check for experience in recovering data from Apple devices

Many service providers will have on their websites they are experienced with Apple devices. However, the best way to do this is to check their reviews and testimonials. 

If the company doesn’t have a testimonial section on its page, you can already move to the next recovery service on the list.

When reading the comments, look for the most recent and check both good and bad reviews. This way you can build a full picture of how the business works if they fulfill their promises to recover the data, and how their customer service is.

Make sure the service offers a “no data no money guarantee” 

This will ensure that you know exactly how much the recovery service will cost before committing to it – as well as having the guarantee that the data can be recovered.

One way to check it is by finding a data recovery center that offers what they call a free in-lab evaluation. This will give you an idea of what is recoverable before you commit to paying for the service. 

Find a data recovery center with security certificates

This will ensure that your data is safe and secure during the recovery process. 

Look for all security certificates, such as: 

ISO-9001

SOC 3 SSAE 16

ISO-5 Cleanroom

BBB Accredited

FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3

Those certificates can prove the recovery service is secure and that your data will be protected.

Only trust in companies that works on ISO class 5 cleanroom

This is the only way to ensure that your data will not be further damaged during the recovery process.

That’s because an ISO class 5 cleanroom is one of the most important components of a data recovery lab. This type of lab is the same manufacturer used when building your storage devices.

Why is a cleanroom so important for data recovery? 

Contaminants such as dust, dirt, and other particles can damage the sensitive components of your iPhone and Mac. A cleanroom environment protects your data and Apple device from these contaminants during the recovery process. 

A cleanroom has:

  • Controlled air
  • Limited personnel access
  • Technicians are required to wear lint-free bodysuits, gloves, and masks to prevent contamination

Conclusion

When it comes to data loss, time is of the essence. The sooner you act, the better your chances are of recovering your lost data. 

Finding a serious and secure data recovery service is of extreme importance to guarantee you’ll have all your Mac or iPhone files back safe and sound.
