E-Discovery for IT/Information Security

Corporate IT and information security teams face significant challenges collecting data and finding key evidence to support legal discovery and digital investigations. Employees store data in thousands of enterprise applications, legacy systems, personal computers, USB flash drives, PDAs, and other data repositories across the organization. Finding and collecting this information is time-consuming, putting additional strain on IT teams to balance additional workload while causing delays for investigators analyzing data to find evidence and conclude investigations.

Since employee data is kept in multiple repositories and applications, companies have struggled to determine where the data resides and have relied on a variety of standalone tools to collect data from multiple sources. This slow and cumbersome collection process is exacerbated by the need for IT to move collected data into other standalone applications for processing and analysis and manage another application. All of this adds time and complexity to collection tasks for over-burdened IT teams and prevents information security teams from quickly concluding digital investigations.

Clearwell consolidates the entire investigation process from the identification and collection of data, through processing, analysis, and review into a single easy-to-use application. By making it easy for IT or legal to collect documents on-site or remotely, and by allowing IT to leverage existing Microsoft indices to perform rapid, targeted collections, the solution enables IT teams to focus on other priorities while maintaining control of the collection of enterprise data. Moreover, investigators can immediately process and begin analyzing collected data to quickly identify any “smoking gun” documents.
