Data Collection and Preservation
Defensibly collect and preserve data at scale for litigation and investigations
Contact us
Overview
Legal teams must be able to quickly identify custodians and forensically collect and preserve data in preparation for litigation or an investigation. To be admissible in court, all relevant data must be defensibly collected, stored with metadata and treated as potential evidence.
Data Collection and Preservation solutions help organizations collect data from a multitude of sources, including endpoints, cloud repositories, email servers, files shares and popular collaboration platforms, such as Slack and Microsoft® Teams.

Business impacts
-
Complex, high-volume collections
Organizations must manage several legal matters simultaneously. Manually collecting and preserving data from thousands of custodians is time-consuming and error-prone. Automate workflows to defensibly collect and preserve terabytes of data. -
Litigation readiness
To meet court deadlines, legal teams must quickly understand the scope of potential litigation. Legacy solutions inefficiently collect and preserve data, preventing user access to vital information. Leverage data insights to quickly resolve cases.
-
Preserve data with confidence
Data must be collected from a variety of sources in a forensically sound manner. IT departments lack solutions that preserve metadata, increasing the risk of spoliation and sanctions. Ensure data integrity every step of the way. -
Modern data collections
Remote and hybrid work models require organizations to collect evidence from new communication platforms. Older solutions are not equipped to efficiently collect from modern, complex data sources. Defensibly collect from any data source.
-
Legal hold notifications
Custodians must be expediently notified that they may be party to a litigation matter. Legal holds executed and tracked with spreadsheets and manual email notifications risk sanctions and spoliation. Automate workflows to meet obligations.
