Data Recovery
Lost critical data to hardware failure, accidental deletion or an attack? Our specialists use forensic-grade techniques to recover what others can't — safely, confidentially and with the best possible chance of getting your data back.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Only media and data you own or are authorised to recover
- Recovery is never guaranteed — some loss is irreversible
- Physically destroyed media may be unrecoverable
- Not a substitute for reliable backups
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- Can you always recover the data?
- No one honestly can. We assess recoverability first and are upfront about the odds. Many cases succeed, but physically destroyed media or securely overwritten data may be gone for good.
- What should we do right now?
- Stop using the affected device immediately — continued use can overwrite recoverable data. Power it down and contact us for guidance before trying DIY recovery tools.
- Is our data kept confidential?
- Absolutely. We handle recovered data under strict confidentiality and return it securely, then dispose of any working copies per your instructions.
