Greater Functionality, Lower Risk, Lower Cost

eDiscovery Challenges

Data growth is exploding. IDC estimates that in 2025, the world will create and replicate 163 zettabytes of data, representing a tenfold increase from the amount of data created in 2016. Organizational data is being stored everywhere. As a result, many organizations have significant gaps in their eDiscovery capability.

To fill these gaps, Information governance has to mature beyond the first model of journaling, archiving, backup, and discovery. The world of "inside the firewall" and "outside the firewall" is over. We have to think in terms of information lifecycles and protecting the data where it resides throughout that lifecycle. How do we discover, protect, and recall organization owned information regardless of where it is stored?

 

 

Step 1: Information Governance

At CertainPoint we use the power of the Microsoft Cloud to modernize information governance throughout the information lifecycle. The Microsoft Cloud uses a unified approach to the discovery and classification of data in Microsoft 365 services, productivity apps, the Power Platform, non-Microsoft cloud services and apps, and on-premises data.

The benefits of this approach include:

  • Consistent classification across devices, apps, and services.
  • Strong integration into the applications and services.
  • Deep content scanning with more than 90 built-in sensitive information types.
  • Fully extensible scanning with support for custom sensitive information types and trainable classifiers.

Advanced eDiscovery in M365

The Advanced eDiscovery solution in Microsoft 365 provides expanded capabilities that enable you to do more while the data remains in-place in your tenant.

Allowing the data to remain in-place further reduces and cull your data, Advanced eDiscovery in Microsoft 365 provides a workflow aligned to the EDRM framework that is more efficient and cost effective. In addition to the efficiency and cost savings, the reduction of risk cannot be understated here – the in-place culling and reduction of data helps to keep sensitive and private data within the tenant without having to share additional copies to outside vendors unless absolutely necessary.

Direct Source Search

Search for potentially responsive data directly where it lives, inside of the M365 applications where your custodians work every day.

In-Place Holds

Legal and investigative holds are enacted in-place so your data does not have to be exported to and stored by 3rd party vendors - reducing risk and costs.

Custodian Notifications

Send, verify, and track custodian notifications directly from within the M365 Compliance Center.

Machine Learning and AI

Analyze & cull your data intelligently with Azure Machine Learning for more focused review sets.

Records Management Integrated

M365 Retention Policies and Labels are suspended during a legal hold, but are automatically re-applied after a hold is released.

Chain of Custody Length

Since Early Case Assessment and holds take place within M365 less data is sent to lit support vendors shortening the chain of custody, reducing risk, and reducing cost.
