Mobile Phone Data Recovery: Find What’s Lost

With over 30 years’ experience working with intelligence, cybersecurity, and technology, the Precise Investigation team has the expertise, tools, and systems knowledge needed to retrieve your data. A common myth is that hardware failures due to water exposure, hard drive failures, short circuiting, or overheating guarantee that your files are gone forever, but working with our team can help you prove otherwise.

How? Because we know the ins and outs of the most up-to-date technology, we are able to identify when a phone has irreparable damage and when your files can be recovered. Although we may not be able to save the unit itself (that would be for a phone repair team), we can help you retrieve and reallocate files for safe keeping on another device.

Data Recovery Australia-wide From Sydney, to Perth, and Darwin

Because the Precise Investigation team has worked in cybersecurity and technology for over three decades, our team has been able to expand our services across Australia. Working with private clients, government entities, and corporations alike, there are few devices on the market we have not seen or been locked out of.

Wondering what the process entails?

1. Identification: we need to know how or what caused the loss. Was it external damage to the hardware? User deletion? Or internally motivated through overheating?
2. Separation: once we have identified the likely cause of the failure, we work to separate the unit to gain access to the physical source of file storage, if required. We will delve more into the various locations where data can be housed below.
3. Retrieval: this step requires patience and a dedicated professional. Because the methods to recover information can differ based on the reason for the loss — from physical damage to software corruption you should never attempt to retrieve lost material alone. Because both external and internal malfunctions can cause information loss, attempting to ‘fix’ the issue without the experience or knowledge needed could result in further break down and make it harder for media to be found.

Given the level of technical skill and experience needed to safely — and effectively — find your information, we always recommend getting a professional opinion before attempting any solutions. Further damage to a compromised unit could make it more challenging — and more expensive — or impossible to retrieve lost work so we do not recommend taking the risk at home.

With offices and expert teams dotted around the country, you can book an appointment with one of our consultants or speak to an expert about delivering your device.

Our computer forensic investigations are tailored to suit the situations and circumstances surrounding our client’s particular cases. If a client needs to keep the details of the investigation private, so be it – we customise our approach in every case to suit our clients and the outcomes they are hoping to uncover. Given the nature of our industry, Precise Investigation takes great pride in providing clients with the utmost discretion across all computer forensic analysis; investigations that we carry out in-line with corporate confidentiality and apply to meet our clients’ exact requirements.

As such, clients can rest assured that our investigators will always adhere to the details provided in our briefs, follow our clients’ instructions to the tee and never put themselves, our clients or Precise Investigation in a position that could lead to disrepute.

Additionally, while many companies may advertise their abilities to recover or lift data, there are a number of strict regulations at play that most aren’t aware of, or able to abide by, thereby leading to that data becoming inadmissible as evidence in court. Precise Investigation, on the other hand, ensures that every step our detectives take is in accordance with Australian law.

Giving our clients the legal advantage has proven to be a very successful approach to our investigations, and we strive to continue delivering results at the same high level in each and every case we undertake.Precise Investigation boasts an impressive thirty years at the forefront of the Australian Private Investigation industry, and in so doing, we have built an enviable reputation as one of the country’s most successful investigations providers. With that, each of our private investigators is qualified, insured and dually experienced in gathering evidence relating to acts of fraud, whether it be a case of employees bunking off work, feigning illness; business partners double-dipping and exposing trade secrets; people lying on their résumés; or any number of malicious undertakings that may cause a business harm.
