About This Course

Technology continues to become more prevalent in our lives. As a result, the volume of data we receive and retain is growing exponentially. Whether personal or business-related, all this data sits at our fingertips—waiting to be discovered.

When an eDiscovery matter arises, the sheer volume of information can make it difficult to find the true “treasure.” In fact, studies have shown that up to 85% of corporate data is “dark data”—or Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial (ROT) data.*

In this session led by the team at NearZero Discovery, you’ll explore key principles and processes related to eDiscovery, including:

  • Ethics and privacy concerns in data collection and processing (PIPEDA, GDPR, and international regulations).
  • How to locate dark/ROT data within: Document management systems; Network-based document repositories; Smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops.
  • Tips for email review and analysis.
  • The importance of collaborating with a corporation’s litigation response team.
  • Recent industry highlights in AI and automation.

Agenda

  • Ethics in Data Collection and Processing - Privacy / GDPR / Global regulatory considerations.
  • Management & Technology in Legal Practice: Security of information; Productivity and efficiency; Best practices for analyzing ethical dilemmas.
  • Deep Dive into ROT Data - Techniques for searching dark data in various systems and devices.
