Preservation
An essential step for any successful electronic discovery plan is the creation and implementation of a rigorous preservation strategy. When litigation is anticipated, quick and thorough steps must be taken to ensure that relevant electronically stored information is protected from destruction or alteration.
Lighthouse Document Technologies can provide consultation to your internal IT department or provide professional service on-site to preserve and collect client data. We take every precaution to maintain the integrity of your electronically stored information.
Collection
The goal of the collection stage is to gather electronic data from identified sources so it can be processed for document review and, ultimately, production. There are several considerations when proceeding with data collection, including: who is going to conduct the collection, the method of collecting, and whether computer forensics are necessary.
Forensic Consulting
Forensic data capture may be required during discovery if potentially relevant files have been deleted, overwritten, damaged, or if there is hidden or encrypted data on a system.
Our specialists are thoroughly trained in recovery techniques, authentication, and the analysis of data that goes beyond the standard collection and preservation techniques. We will always have a specialist available to stand as an expert witness, if any part or all of our services are called into question. With the tools that we use, we always make sure that we record a clear and defensible process from beginning to end that is guaranteed to prove that our finished product is an exact and fair representation of the original.
