Close more cases.
Deliver better outcomes.Even the best IR firms encounter ransomware variants they can't recover from, surge events that exceed capacity, and cases where a recovery gap becomes a client retention problem. Proven Data's proprietary data recovery R&D, 15+ years of ransomware case history, and flexible co-delivery model give partner IR firms a recovery capability they can deploy without building it themselves.
The Recovery Gap
Recovery capability is a competitive differentiator.
Forensics, containment, and attribution are table stakes for IR firms. The gap that drives client dissatisfaction and case complexity is data recovery — specifically, the ability to recover from ransomware variants without decryption keys or ransom payment. Most IR firms don't have the R&D infrastructure to develop that capability in-house.
Limited Recovery Capability
Most IR firms can identify the ransomware variant and preserve evidence — but recovery from encryption requires reverse engineering, cryptographic analysis, and a case library of prior decryption work that takes years to build.
Surge Capacity Constraints
Ransomware events cluster. A major threat actor campaign or a supply chain incident can generate more simultaneous cases than any firm can staff. Without a surge partner, you're turning away clients or compromising quality during peak demand.
No Proprietary R&D
Decryption tools and recovery techniques are developed through investment in cryptographic research and a large library of prior cases. Building that capability from scratch requires years of investment most IR firms cannot justify.
Client Retention in Complex Cases
When recovery fails or is incomplete, clients lose confidence. A referral to an external recovery firm mid-engagement damages your relationship and creates handoff problems. A co-delivery model keeps the engagement intact.
How We Partner
Recovery augmentation under your brand.
Proven Data operates as a recovery and augmentation partner — not a competitor. Our partnership model is structured to strengthen your client relationships, expand your recoverable case types, and provide surge capacity when demand spikes.
Proprietary Recovery R&D
Access to Proven Data's continuously updated decryption research, covering 400+ active ransomware families. Our cryptographic research team works cases your team cannot resolve — and delivers results under your engagement.
White-Label Co-Delivery
We operate as a technical sub-contractor under your client engagement. Recovery deliverables are branded to your firm. Your client relationship, billing structure, and communication cadence remain intact throughout.
Surge Capacity
When demand exceeds your bench, Proven Data's IR team supplements your capacity — deploying under your engagement structure, following your SOPs, and maintaining your documentation standards. Scale without permanent headcount.
Threat Intelligence Sharing
Partner firms get access to Proven Data's threat intelligence feeds — including new ransomware variant signatures, threat actor infrastructure indicators, and emerging TTPs — to accelerate attribution and scope analysis on active cases.
Platform Access for Complex Cases
For complex cases requiring sustained monitoring, partner firms can deploy Lynx into client environments through a sub-licensing arrangement — providing continuous visibility without standing up separate tooling for each engagement.
Settlement Support
When ransom payment is unavoidable, our cyber intelligence team handles threat actor communication and negotiation — reducing amounts and maintaining evidence standards. We operate under your engagement or directly under breach counsel.

Partnership. Proven Data does not compete with IR firms for case origination or client relationships. We operate exclusively as a technical sub-contractor under your engagement — you own the client relationship, the billing, and the deliverables. We provide the recovery capability and surge capacity you need to close cases you couldn't otherwise resolve.
Close cases you couldn't close before.
Proven Data's recovery R&D, surge capacity, and white-label co-delivery model give your IR firm a competitive edge on the hardest cases — without building the capability in-house.
