Rule 30(b)(6) of the FRCP (federal rules of civil procedure) states that individuals from company involved with litigation, can be called to give dispositions. The increasing importance of eDiscovery in many court cases may mean more IT managers being called in to testify as to how data is stored & accessed, backup procedures and data protection processes, records retention and destruction policies, and costs associated with accessing specific data in the enterprise.
North American Systems offers eDiscovery solutions that integrate auditing and reporting functions. Our eDiscovery software provides the ability to track chain of custody, message timestamps, audit trails and message ids to track information from creation to deletion. In addition to internal use, clear trails of chain of custody and the tracking of information from creation to deletion can mitigate risks and provide a defensible archival process, reducing the likelihood of the IT department exposing the company to litigation and fines.
In addition, these auditing tools for eDiscovery allows IT to discern what content is stored and how much effort is involved with recovering and producing the data for litigation events.
