Server Ransomware Recovery Services in London
Our ransomware attack data recovery service specialises in retrieving your files and systems after a malware encryption event. Drawing on 25+ years of forensic data recovery experience, our London-based experts use proven methods to handle encrypted files, partial encryption, and even full system lockdowns. We conduct a thorough forensic investigation to trace how the attack happened and secure any remaining recovery options. For instance, we always check Windows Volume Shadow Copy backups – even though most ransomware tries to erase them, sometimes system restore points survive. In every case, our goal is to safely recover your encrypted or locked data, restore operations and advise on prevention.
Systems We Support
We recover data from all major devices and systems affected by ransomware. This includes:
-
Laptops and Desktops (Windows & Mac): Any notebook or PC tower, from business workstations to home computers.
-
External Drives & Media: External hard drives, SSDs, USB sticks and other portable media.
-
RAID Arrays and Servers: Multi-disk RAID servers, NAS units and other network storage setups.
-
Other Storage: Network tape libraries, CCTV DVRs, cameras and memory cards as needed.
We treat every device in our secure lab using write-blockers and forensic imaging to preserve your data integrity. Our processes cover even complex setups (for example, rebuilding a RAID volume) so no matter what hardware was hit by ransomware, we can support it.

Our 20 Core Techniques for Decrypting Ransomware-Affected Drives
-
Ransomware Identification: Quickly determine the exact strain (using ransom notes, file extensions or tools like ID Ransomware) to guide recovery.
-
Public Decryptors: Leverage known decryption utilities for ransomware with publicly released keys or flaws.
-
Brute-force Key Search: Use GPU-accelerated methods (e.g. Hashcat) to attempt decryption by trying key combinations.
-
Memory Analysis: Examine captured RAM images and hibernation files to find leftover encryption keys and clues.
-
Disk Forensics: Scan system logs, swap files and temporary data for encryption artifacts. Recover fragments of files from disk sectors.
-
Volume Shadow Copy Restore: Recover previous file versions from Windows Shadow Copies if they remain intact.
-
Deleted Data Recovery: Use forensic tools to recover erased or partially overwritten files from unallocated space.
-
File Header Repair: Manually rebuild corrupted file headers and table entries with hex editors.
-
Backup & Cloud Recovery: Search for offline and cloud backups (e.g. OneDrive, Dropbox, external NAS) to restore unencrypted copies.
-
RAID Rebuild: For RAID servers, reconstruct the array bit-by-bit in a controlled lab to retrieve striped or duplicated data.
-
Alternate OS Boot: Boot systems from trusted media (e.g. Linux live CDs) to access encrypted volumes without triggering malware.
-
Multi-Platform Support: Handle ransomware on different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and file systems with tailored tools.
-
Data Carving: Extract usable data fragments from severely encrypted files using pattern recognition and carving techniques.
-
Encryption Flaw Exploitation: Investigate weak algorithms or implementation bugs in the malware (e.g. as seen in early GandCrab and TeslaCrypt).
-
Forensic Imaging: Create bit-perfect drive images and work on copies only, ensuring original media is never further damaged.
-
Manual Hex Recovery: Conduct bit-level analysis and manual recovery of critical files using forensic hex editing.
-
Operational Forensics: Maintain a strict chain-of-custody and comply with legal standards while handling evidence.
-
Safe Verification: Use isolated test environments to confirm recovered data integrity before returning it.
-
Professional Recovery Services: We can assist law enforcement and cyber-insurance investigators by providing certified forensic reports on the attack.
-
Negotiation (Last Resort): If no technical route succeeds, we can advise on professional ransomware negotiation services to try obtaining decryption keys (while emphasizing risks of paying).
Trust and Proven Success
-
Proven Success: London clients consistently regain critical data. For example, one Bromley business “recovered everything including accounts and VAT files” after a ransomware lockout. Similarly, a Hackney family retrieved a decade of personal photos after encryption.
-
Client Testimonials: Customers praise our results and support, citing our “fast, professional” service and thorough communication. We never compromise on data confidentiality or security during recovery.
-
Case Examples: We handle both corporate and personal cases – from encrypted accounting servers to locked-down home PCs. Every scenario (enterprise malware or a crypto-locked laptop) is treated with the same expertise and diligence.
