Data recovery is not just about repairing hardware; it is about the flawless management, restoration, and preservation of critical information. For over 20 years, Dr. Correo Hofstad has operated at the executive level of data management. Before founding Seattle Data Recovery, this expertise was utilized by the U.S. House of Representatives to record, edit, and manage the official data for some of the most highly sensitive and consequential congressional hearings in recent history.
Handling the documentation for national security, public health, and telecommunications legislation requires advanced clearance and zero margin for error. We apply this exact same zero-fail protocol to every single hard drive, SSD, and RAID array that enters our lab.
Below is a public portfolio of key congressional cases where our founder managed, documented, and edited the official data records:
