A basic input/output system (BIOS) determine whether an automated recovery mechanism is enabled in response to a detection of a data corruption. An embedded controller may extract recovery data from a storage device upon confirmation that the automated recovery mechanism is enabled. In response to verification that the recovery data is valid, the controller may decrypt a BIOS firmware data in the recovery data and push the BIOS firmware data into a non-volatile random access memory, and decrypt an embedded controller firmware data in the recovery data and push the embedded controller firmware data into the non-volatile random access memory.
