Yes. Tesweb SA holds the CyberSafe label (awarded by the cyber-safe.ch association after a complete audit), complies with the nLPD (RS 235.1, which came into force on September 1, 2023), and is authorized to process confidential data for federal institutions. The laboratory is equipped with a laminar flow hood certified ISO 5 according to ISO 14644-1 (max. 3,520 particles ≥ 0.5 µm per m³). The premises are secured by cameras, access badges, and an alarm system, with media stored in a safe.
Yes, data recovery from physically damaged hard drives is our specialty. SOS Data Recovery has an ISO Class 5 certified laminar flow environment according to ISO 14644-1 (max. 3,520 particles ≥ 0.5 µm per m³) allowing us to open and repair media in dust-free conditions. Defective components are replaced using specialized equipment (PC-3000 from ACE Laboratory) before performing a complete bit-by-bit copy of the media.

An ISO 5 laminar flow (formerly Class 100) is a controlled environment in which the air contains a maximum of 100 particles of 0.5 micrometers per cubic foot. This level of purity is essential for handling the internal components of a hard drive without risking contamination.
The ISO 14644-1 classification defines air purity by the maximum number of particles per cubic meter. In ISO 5, the air contains a maximum of 3,520 particles of 0.5 µm/m³. In ISO 7 (a common class in the industry), this figure rises to 352,000 particles — 100 times more. For hard drive data recovery, ISO 5 is the minimum requirement because the read head flies over the platters at only 7 nanometers.
