Clearwell Solution for Corporate Security

The Solution: The Clearwell E–Disclosure Platform

The Clearwell E–Disclosure Platform is the first enterprise–class e–disclosure management solution designed and proven to manage all of your corporate investigations in a single application. The solution rapidly processes, analyses, searches and culls collected data to find all evidence and suspects involved in an investigation. Key features of the Clearwell E–Disclosure Platform include:

Start your investigation in minutes: The Clearwell E–Disclosure Platform is a self–contained appliance solution that is up and running in less than 25 minutes. It processes over 400 multi–lingual document types including files, various email formats, attachments, contacts, calendar items, compressed files, and TIFF/OCR pairs at the rate of 1 terabyte a day. This allows investigators to gain insight into matter facts almost immediately.

Search and analyse global documents: The Clearwell E–Disclosure Platform supports Unicode and processes, identifies, searches, and analyses documents in English, European, and Asian languages.

Discover exactly who knew what and when: Clearwell’s Topic, People, File, and Discussion Thread analytics help legal teams quickly find the needle in the haystack. Discussion Threads, for example, analyse both metadata and content to link together emails, including all replies, forwards, CC’s and BCC’s into chronological threads. By tracing the thread, security professionals can quickly identify the most important question in an investigation — who knew what and when.

Comply with EU and local data protection guidelines: Mobile Clearwell allows for in–country processing, analysis and review. This allows companies to comply with local data protection guidelines and the EU Data Protection Directive while responding to cross–boarder investigations.

Quickly cull irrelevant documents: Clearwell’s Auto–Filters automatically group entire search results (not just a subset) by metadata fields such as tag, sender domain, sender group, sender name, recipient domain, recipient group, recipient name, document type, custodian and language type. Auto–Filters display exact hit counts across the entire search result set for every filter, allowing security professionals to narrow search results with the click of a checkbox.

Find the needle in the haystack: Clearwell’s Advanced Search allows security teams the power to search for evidence in several ways: by custodian, senders, recipients, direction, subject, attachment names, attachment types, date range, tags, and comments. Clearwell also supports both stemmed and unstemmed (literal) searches, as well as Boolean, wildcard, fuzzy, and proximity searches.

Find most relevant evidence fast: Clearwell’s patent–pending algorithms consider the unique properties of documents to display the most relevant results first. You would never search the Internet without Google’s PageRank™, why would you settle for searching documents without relevance rank?  In addition to document searches, relevance rank is also employed to display the most pertinent discussion threads, enabling rapid access to relevant discussions in a matter.

Improve the defensibility of your e–disclosure process: Clearwell’s Transparent Search provides a new set of search features that enable a more defensible and collaborative e–disclosure search process and enhance the ability to intelligently cull irrelevant information, including:

1. Search Preview: Provides visibility into matching keyword variations for wildcard and stemming searches prior to running a search.
2. Search Filtering & Sampling: In real–time, security professionals can filter their result for individual queries or variations, and sample the filtered documents to evaluate their effectiveness of the search.
3. Search Report: Creates a comprehensive report that documents all search criteria and provides detailed analytics of the results for both the overall search and the individual queries within the search.

Discover secret project names and code words: Clearwell’s Term Analytics analyse noun phrases to help investigators find code words or secret project names that are likely to be relevant to the matter.

Find all instances of a document: Clearwell’s File Analysis capabilities automatically find all instances of a document based on its MD5 hash value, ensuring that you find all the evidence even if the filename (or other metadata) has been modified.

Integrates with collection tools: The Clearwell E–Disclosure Platform seamlessly integrates with your existing collection process and is complementary to popular forensic applications such as Guidance EnCase® Enterprise and AccessData Forensic Enterprise®.
