Since 2015, the number of federal cases in which parties received sanctions for spoilation has increased by 560%. Safeguarding against spoliation risk demands a robust, defensible disposition strategy. With the daily data explosion approaching 329 million terabytes, and the expanding responsibilities of in-house legal teams, maintaining an up-to-date strategy can pose a considerable challenge.
A new ebook from Relativity provides the essential steps for constructing a modern, defensible disposition strategy and examines how to build a data map and what features to consider when selecting a technology partner.
Comments from partner Scott Milner are featured throughout the ebook discussing the future of defensible disposition. According to Scott, “With the rise in cyber threats and data breaches, defensible data strategies are increasingly intertwined with cybersecurity measures. Collaboration between legal, IT, and security teams is crucial to implementing data protection and incident response protocols into disposition practices. Identifying and safeguarding sensitive data, establishing encryption standards, and integrating data breach response plans are paramount."
