eDiscovery
What steps have you taken to ensure that electronic data can be collected and
presented in a legal, cost-effective manner in the event of litigation?
Does you company have the personnel and technical resources to respond to
an eDiscovery request?
Can you reduce the recurring legal costs and gain control over eDiscovery
requirements?
Electronic discovery (eDiscovery) refers to any process in which electronic data is sought, located, secured, and searched with the intent of using it as evidence in a criminal or civil legal case.
Unfortunately, the amount of electronic data held by an organization appears to be growing exponentially; it is matched only by the expanded compliance and regulatory requirements governing data. Finding specific data, such as particular e-mails written several years ago, is time consuming and expensive. It is also a complex process that diverts your employees away from their regular jobs.
Digital Defence has developed a proactive approach to eDiscovery. By planning in advance, you can respond legal challenges in a cost effective manner that is consistent with your business practices. Because your response is planned, you can ensure regulatory and legal compliance and drastically reduce your risks.
If you are already engaged in litigation, Digital Defence will identify, preserve, and document potential sources of electronic evidence in a cost-effective manner that complies with legal requirements, industry standards, and the most effective industry practices.

Respond
No matter how much an organization prepares, a data security incident may be inevitable; therefore, the organizations that survive and flourish are those that can calmly and effectively respond to a security event. Having a pre-approved plan of action before security incidents occur and having the right security partner to help when they do occur is critical. (460 KB)
