PRESERVATION & COLLECTION : OVERVIEW
Isolate and Gather ESI in a Legally Defensible Manner
The first step in achieving a defensible collection is to understand the scope and depth of the electronically stored information (ESI). Based on your needs, IDM will assemble a team of senior, credentialed IDM Experts and partners experienced in computer forensics, data collection, data restoration, and eDiscovery processing. Together we can help you preserve and collect evidence in a forensically sound manner that is comprehensive, cost-effective, and will withstand challenge.
Throughout the identification and acquisition process, thorough documentation ensures that data integrity and chain-of-custody are maintained, and status reports are provided regularly.
