Computer Mania (Stellenbosch)

- Chain store offering accessories and basic repair send-ins.
- May assist with simple data recovery or route to third-party labs.

Drive Data Recovery (Cape Town)
Visit Drive Data Recovery Cape Town
- Specialist cleanroom lab for severe cases (clicking, fire, flood).
- Works with national courier intake; costs are higher but success rates better.

How to choose a provider
- Scope of service: logical recovery vs physical lab.
- Compliance: does the provider issue certificates and consent logs?
- Turnaround: local same-day triage vs 1–2 weeks at a specialist lab.
- Costs: budget ±R950 for logical recovery; several thousand for cleanroom jobs.
Why Digissential stands out
- In-shop logical recovery: same-day triage for students & SMEs.
- POPIA compliance: signed Data Recovery Consent & Waiver.
- Chain-of-custody: logged devices, handlers, and dates.
- Certified wipes: recover → wipe → CoDD for compliance peace of mind.
