Virtual Legal Tech – Cloud security and remediation

murari — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:32:35 +0000

Virtual Legal Tech is coming up on Nov 8th, 2012.

http://www.virtuallegaltechshow.com/r5/cob_page.asp?category_code=110812&initial_file=agenda.asp

At 2 p.m., there is a course that takes a deep dive on cloud security and remediation. Here is a summary:

Attend this session to discover how to:

Facilitate SaaS subscriptions through an escrow arrangement
Identify scenarios by which contingency plans should be contemplated
Engender trust between the buyer and seller
Overcome the risk objections to doing business
Optimize the subscriber-provider relationship
Become a valued trusted advisor to your clients

Ironically, this applies to Cloud based Litigation Review and eDiscovery software as well !

One of the important points to consider is a backup and remediation plan in the event of a failure of the data center or software running in the data center. Normally these are recovered in 24 hours, but to be safe it’s good to keep a backup of all meta-data and coding, with local links to documents that have been loaded in the case.

While this is harder to do for really large cases involving multiple parties working simultaneously on a large database, it’s pretty easy for small to medium sized cases involving fewer participants by loading the fields in the review database into a spreadsheet and modifying the links to the documents to be on your local hard drive putting you in charge in the event anything goes wrong in the Cloud.

Cloud based Small to Mid-Market Archiving prepares for shift to Google Apps

murari — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 02:26:54 +0000

According to a Google representative, they are preparing to include Postini as a standard email service to control spam, and will be migrating users for eDiscovery features to Google Vault. See http://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2012/08/21/google-prepares-customers-for-postini-shutdown/.

Gmail includes a free tool (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration) to migrate your Microsoft Outlook .PST files to Google, and they will appear as a separate folder. They will allow you to migrate your existing archives to a format that is compatible with Google Vault archiving and eDiscovery features.

Stay tuned, as we’ll have more to report about Google Vault in future blog posts as we put together more information about the Gmail email format and eDiscovery options.
