A woman-owned small business with roots in hard drive manufacturing and 37+ years of leadership in data recovery and security.
In the early days of our dependence on magnetic media, the founders of CPR Tools were on the cutting edge of hard drive development — working with and for leading manufacturers. It became clear that repairing hard drives and recovering data from crashed, damaged, or mishandled media was a niche that had been as yet unfilled.
In its initial stages, CPR Tools was a drive repair depot. Recognising a growing need for more advanced repairs, it slowly developed into a full-service provider of data recovery services. Experience in the hard drive manufacturing industry gave CPR Tools engineers a unique perspective, enabling groundbreaking techniques, devices, and utilities that continue to improve recovery outcomes.
Today, CPR Tools is a woman-owned small business headquartered in Southwest Florida. We develop new and exciting techniques and applications to serve our clients — and we remain one of a very small number of companies actively involved in hard drive research and data recovery innovation.
