Ransomware data recovery in France
AS recovers data for companies in France after ransomware — encrypted databases, accounting and ERP systems, VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines and Veeam backups, in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille and across the country. We are a specialist lab in India working remotely, in English, starting with a measurement of how your files were actually encrypted.

Ransomware in France: what gets hit
French SMEs and mid-sized companies commonly run Sage or Cegid accounting and ERP on SQL Server, with file servers and a VMware or Hyper-V host backed up with Veeam or to a NAS in the same network. Ransomware groups that target France go for the hypervisor and the backup server first, so the accounting database, the virtual disks and the backups are often encrypted in the same night. Those are large files, and large files are usually encrypted only in parts.
How a case from France works
1. Remote assessment
Send us the ransom note and a few encrypted files. We identify the ransomware and measure how the files were encrypted — often within hours.
2. Files or media to our lab
Copies of the encrypted databases, virtual disks or backups are uploaded over an encrypted channel, or the drives are shipped to our lab in Dharmapuri, India. Originals are only ever read.
3. Recovery and validation
We recover what the encryption left intact and check it before handing it back, reporting plainly what could not be recovered.
Working with us from France
Most cases never need anything shipped: copies of the encrypted databases, virtual disks or backup files are uploaded over an encrypted channel, or we work in a remote session on a machine you control. When drives or servers do need lab work, they are sent by international courier from France to our lab in Dharmapuri, India. We send the address, the paperwork wording for customs and packing instructions before anything leaves you, and the condition of the media is recorded on arrival. Our standard hours, Monday to Friday 9:00–18:00 IST, are about 04:30 to 13:30 Central European Time (an hour later in summer time), so they cover the French morning. Emergency requests are answered 24/7 through the emergency form.
Why encrypted does not always mean lost
To finish quickly, most modern ransomware encrypts only parts of large files — the start, or chunks at intervals. Databases, virtual disks and backup files therefore often keep most of their real content. Some of our measured cases:
We have solved 656+ ransomware and data recovery cases. Results depend on how each file was encrypted, and we tell you exactly what is recoverable after a free assessment, before you pay anything.
Privacy and reporting rules in France
In France, a personal data breach must be notified to the CNIL within 72 hours under the GDPR, ANSSI is the national cybersecurity agency, and cybermalveillance.gouv.fr is the public assistance service for victims. This is general information, not legal advice: check your obligations with your own advisers early, and tell us about any requirements before data is sent.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in French?
Our working language is English. Reports and communication are in English; many French customers work with us through their IT service provider, who handles local communication.
May personal data be sent to India under the GDPR?
Transfers outside the EU are subject to GDPR conditions, and we cannot give legal advice. Often the work can be done in a remote session on a system you control inside the EU, so the data does not leave it. Tell us your requirements first.
Our Sage database on SQL Server was encrypted. Can it be recovered?
Often in large part. SQL Server data files are frequently encrypted only at the start or at intervals. We read the pages that were not encrypted, rebuild the tables and report which ones are complete.
