About our journey & mission
History & Timeline
Founded in 2011 by brothers, Mark and Victor Congionti the company had it’s early roots in data recovery.
Victor worked as Sr. IT Security Analyst for a large insurance company and performed IT consulting for small businesses on the side. He regularly needed data recovery services for clients and realized no matter who he went to, the prices for recovery were astronomical and the companies were not always successful in recovering data. Knowing that data can be the lifeblood of any organization, large or small, he saw an opportunity to help companies affordably and reliably recover their data. Seeking out the top talent in the field, Proven Data was able to obtain a 98% successful recovery rate on previous cases. Proven Data Recovery was born.
Mark was a Math Teacher and had extensive customer support experience running a retail store. Proven Data needed someone to run the business while it was sustainable enough to work there full time. The time came in 2015 when Victor packed his bags and moved to New York to fully commit to the business.
surge in ransomware With no solutions
In 2015 Proven Data routinely received calls from numerous ransomware victims. Searching for reputable companies that had the ability to help yielded no results. Further research showed that obtaining bitcoin to assist clients with ransom payments could take weeks. Businesses, critical infrastructure, and medical facilities didn’t have this kind of time. Clients would also come to us after attempting ransom payment on their own. We determined that these cases needed further troubleshooting which we were able to assist with. Determined not to leave our clients stranded and committed to data recovery in any scenario, we launched the ransom recovery division.
Repeat ransomware incidents
We soon realized that clients were repeatedly hit with ransomware after recovering their data. We discovered through our forensic investigations that hackers were coming in as a result of poor security hygiene. Again, we saw an opportunity to assist our clients and ensure these types of scenarios did not happen again or were significantly mitigated.
