Guidance
Software, (NASDAQ:GUID), the World Leader in Digital
Investigations™, announced today an integration with Dropbox
for Business that enables Dropbox customers to seamlessly address
their e-discovery requirements. Dropbox for Business provides teams with
the power, security, and performance of Dropbox, along with robust admin
capabilities that give IT visibility and control over company data.
Guidance Software now becomes one of several leading vendors
building on the new Dropbox for Business API in order to offer increased
enterprise-grade functionality within Dropbox for Business through its
integration with EnCase® eDiscovery.
“As organizations become heavily reliant on storing information in
enterprise file sharing and synch services such as Dropbox for Business,
the need to collect information relevant to IT security and litigation
teams quickly and comprehensively can be critical to reaching a
favorable resolution,” said Anthony Di Bello, Director, Strategic
Partnerships, Guidance Software. “With the EnCase
eDiscovery integration, Dropbox has taken a critical step toward
empowering its enterprise customers by enabling a new level of control
over sensitive information stored in the cloud.”
The Dropbox
for Business API enables developers to build a wide range of
integrations that further support critical business needs for the
companies that run on Dropbox for Business. These integrations extend
the power of the Dropbox Platform by addressing new areas including
e-discovery, security information & event management (SIEM), data loss
prevention (DLP), and digital rights management (DRM).
Together with Dropbox for Business, EnCase eDiscovery enables
defensible search and the ability to collect and preserve electronically
stored information (ESI) in Dropbox for Business accounts. EnCase
eDiscovery makes it possible to respond to litigation, arbitration, and
regulatory investigations while keeping relevant ESI in check.
Ranked as a leader in e-discovery software by Gartner four years in a
row, EnCase eDiscovery is a comprehensive and scalable solution for
effectively managing electronically stored documents in litigation,
arbitration, and internal or regulatory investigations, significantly
reducing e-discovery risk and costs. EnCase eDiscovery provides control
over the entire e-discovery workflow, from legal hold to identification,
collection, preservation, processing, first-pass review, best-in-class
early case assessment (ECA), review, and production capabilities.
Legal and risk management teams gain the following from the EnCase
eDiscovery integration with Dropbox for Business:
-
Instant Visibility of content housed in Dropbox for Business.
EnCase eDiscovery can quickly scan Dropbox for Business and identify
potentially relevant ESI based on specific criteria. Legal and IT
support teams can access Dropbox for Business data in a forensically
sound manner as the integration keeps metadata and content intact,
then makes it available to dispersed collaboration groups as needed.
-
Centralized Access to data that may be required for
e-discovery, increasing speed while preventing inadvertent sharing of
sensitive data.
-
Rapid Response to Legal Matters becomes a critical advantage in
responding to regulatory requests. By only collecting relevant ESI,
workloads are reduced, along with risks and costs associated with
manual procedures, such as copying files and burning DVDs.
-
Lifecycle Control with a defensible process for retention and
deletion (dispensation) of all data relevant in legal matters, whether
stored on premise or on DropBox for Business.
“Dropbox for Business is all about simplifying the way people and
companies work, and a big part of that is enabling integrations with the
services our customers already use to meet their various business
needs,” said George O’Brien, product manager for Dropbox for Business.
“We are excited to work with Guidance Software to provide our customers
with a seamless experience between EnCase eDiscovery and Dropbox for
Business to address their e-discovery requirements.”
