Guidance
Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:GUID), the World Leader in Digital
Investigations™, announced the availability of EnCase®
eDiscovery with search and collection capabilities for
electronically stored information (ESI) within Dropbox for Business.
Dropbox for Business provides teams with the power, security, and
performance of Dropbox, along with robust administrative capabilities
that give IT teams visibility and control over company data.
“Our customers understand the value that Dropbox’s collaboration network
provides for increasing productivity and safely communicating and
sharing with the native applications they already use,” commented
Patrick Heim, Head of Trust and Security at Dropbox. “Coupled with
EnCase eDiscovery, we believe that Dropbox for Business provides a
secure platform for businesses giving them visibility and access to
their employees’ Dropbox accounts, especially in the case of litigation
or compliance requirements.”
Together with Dropbox for Business, EnCase eDiscovery enables
defensible search and the ability to collect and preserve 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. This new implementation leverages the Dropbox
for Business API which enables developers to build a wide range of
integrations that further support critical business needs for the
companies that run on Dropbox for Business.
“EnCase eDiscovery is considered the gold standard for collection
because it is capable of providing visibility to any data at any time
stored in any format,” remarked Chad McManamy, Esq., Vice President,
E-Discovery and Assistant General Counsel for Guidance Software. “Our
integration with Dropbox for Business gives our customers the ability to
perform collections from file sync and share platforms in the same way
they can collect from endpoints, servers and other types of information
repositories. We believe that this capability gives us an edge over our
competition.”
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, and 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 capabilities 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.
