Preservation & Collection Services

Forensically Sound Collection of Electronic Evidence

As a legal professional facing an electronic discovery request, you need to be able to quickly identify, preserve, and collect all potentially relevant electronically stored information from all sources without compromising ts integrity.

RenewData's Client Advisory Services team - comprised of attorneys, electronic discovery experts, computer forensic experts, and expert witnesses - works with you to understand what data to preserve prior to carrying out the physical collection, while adhering to the strictest of security guidelines. RenewData's methods avoid the risk of unnecessary exposure and increased liability by collecting too much, too little, or incorrect data.

From the moment the discovery request or preservation order is received, the data collection and preservation methodology becomes critical to avoiding spoliation issues. RenewData's experts assist with collecting the data needed, using a verifiable and repeatable chain-of-custody methodology.

RenewData may conduct these collections in several ways, including:

• Forensic imaging of electronic storage media sent to the RenewData facility or retrieved from third party storage facilities
• On-site forensic imaging of servers, work stations, hard drives, laptops, or other original media
• On-site collection of only responsive data by conducting keyword searches directly on your corporate network
• Extensive data harvesting of server “farms” for large-scale data sets
• Supervised Data Collection for collecting data from complex server systems
