Understanding how Wondershare Recoverit impacts the CIA security model.
| CIA Component | Analysis for Wondershare Recoverit |
|---|---|
| Confidentiality | High Security Risk: Recoverit demonstrates that "deleting" a file does not actually remove it from the disk; it only marks the space as available. This poses a major confidentiality threat because an unauthorized user with this tool can retrieve sensitive data from discarded or lost drives that were not properly wiped. |
| Integrity | Supportive but Fragile: The tool aims to restore data to its original, accurate state. However, its "Deep Scan" often finds fragmented or corrupted "Raw" files that have lost their original names or metadata. Additionally, installing the software on the same drive you are scanning can overwrite the very data you want to save, permanently damaging its integrity. |
| Availability | Primary Function: Recoverit is fundamentally an Availability tool. Its core purpose is to ensure that critical information remains accessible even after accidental deletion, system crashes (Blue Screen of Death), or partition loss. It restores access to data that would otherwise be permanently "unavailable" to the user. |
