## Security certifications and practices

Secure Data Recovery Services undergoes audits and evaluations to maintain a range of professional certifications and to ensure compliance with specific federal and international regulations. All data handling practices within Secure Data Recovery labs are SSAE 18 Type II SOC 1, 2, and 3 audited to verify the safe handling of sensitive or protected information.
Data recovery operations take place in a Class 10 ISO 4 cleanroom, which reduces the risk of damage to sensitive internal drive components from airborne dust or other small particulates. Cleanrooms come in different ratings depending on the industry. Class 100 ISO 5 facilities permit 100 particles per square foot and are commonly used for manufacturing applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. Class 10 ISO cleanrooms filter air to no more than 10 particles per square foot. This cleanroom rating is generally given to manufacturers of semiconductors and other sensitive electronics technology.
Secure Data Recovery Services transfers recovered data on portable devices that are FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated, a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules. Secure Data Recovery Services is a member of the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule for approved government contractors, and the company provides data recovery services for local, state, and federal government agencies, as well as for all branches of the U.S. military.
Secure Data Recovery Services complies with the EU/U.S. Privacy Shield Framework administered and reviewed by TRUSTe to ensure privacy protection for the exchange of personal data for commercial purposes between the European Union and the United States.
