Data Recovery & Authentication

Data Recovery & Authentication

Recovery of deleted, corrupted, and encrypted data. Authentication of digital records, emails, and documents. Every result is forensically documented and legally defensible.

The Waldrep Company provides forensic data recovery and digital authentication services for legal proceedings and corporate investigations. We recover data that has been deleted, damaged, or encrypted — and we authenticate digital records to prove or challenge their integrity and origin.

Authentication of digital evidence is increasingly critical in litigation. We analyze file metadata, email headers, document revision history, and system artifacts to determine whether a digital record is genuine, when it was created or modified, and whether it has been tampered with.

Our data recovery services use forensically sound techniques that preserve the original media and allow for verification of recovered artifacts in court. Unlike consumer data recovery services, our work is documented and admissible.
