e-Discovery Support & Consulting

Our eDiscovery Support Service provides comprehensive and defensible assistance in managing the complex process of electronically stored information (ESI) litigation, investigation and auditing while staying compliant.

Our team of experienced digital forensic professionals will help you identify the most relevant data sources, as well as the most effective ways to collect, process, transfer, analyse, review, and preserve the data adhering to data privacy and security laws, regulations, procedures, and best practices.

We can help you reduce costs, stress, risk, and time spent and improve accuracy, speed, efficiency and discovery results. Our use of the best fit-for-purpose technology, including Ai technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, speech recognition, and computer vision, as well as our secure data management processes, will help ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

Additionally, our e-Discovery Support Service offers a variety of benefits, helping you streamline and simplify the investigation and litigation process. By using our resources on an as-needed basis, you can avoid the need for additional hardware, software or skilled personnel. We can also advise and help implement the most cost-effective IT infrastructure to match case requirements while reducing the risk of data loss, contamination or leakage and ensuring defensible data retention. Our text analysis capabilities, including email and conversation threading, sentiment analysis and entity extraction helping you identify relevant information faster and improve your eDiscovery results.

Moreover, we can help you collect, process and analyse data from various sources, including PCs, laptops, mobile devices, servers, network devices, printers, the blockchain, the surface web, the deep web, and the dark web. Our data processing services include metadata extraction, artefact extraction, optical character recognition, image classification, data indexing, keyword and pattern searching, audio and video file transcription, data decryption, and data formatting to normalise information from different sources. Our data preservation procedures ensure defensible data retention, including maintaining a chain of custody. We can help you classify and cull large volumes of data quickly and accurately, improving the speed and efficiency of your e-discovery process.

• Early Case Data Assessment
  • We can help you make an informed decision before undertaking a full e-discovery, by targeting the most relevant data, based on the identified data to reduce your risks and costs. This process could be ongoing depending on the size and scope of the case.
• Data Acquisition
  • We will collect, whether onsite or remotely, the electronically stored information (ESI) from all possible data sources, including local storage devices (PCs, laptops), servers (network shares and email), cloud platforms, mobile devices, offline sources, data that is not reasonably accessible (legacy systems, deleted data, backup tapes), the blockchain, surface web, deep web, dark web, and scanning physical documents etc.
• Data Processing
  • We will help you organise and process large volumes of structured and unstructured data (big data) quickly and accurately, including:
    • Metadata extraction
    • Artefact extraction (actions, dates and times etc.)
    • Optical character recognition (OCR) photos or other images, including PDF and scanned documents.
    • Image (video and photo) classification using the latest Ai technology
    • Data indexing
    • Keyword and pattern searching
    • Transcription of audio and video files into searchable text
    • Data decryption
    • Data Formatting - Normalising data from different sources (PCs, mobile devices, cloud, blockchain etc.)
    • Data Identification - Identifying and removing personally identifiable and other sensitive or privileged information
    • Data de-duplication
• Data Transfer
  • We will securely transfer the data to an online e-discovery platform and/or self-hosted e-discovery or another platform.
