Electronic Discovery is a process of managing digital and non-digital organizational data. To kick start the process in the organization, an inventory of records must be made. Once identified, they must be sorted out according to the mediums to which they belong. This data is collected and processed along with its meta data and archived or stored in separate storages.
Regular audits may also be conducted to check on data that is retrieved for legal purposes. Quarterly and yearly reviews make analysis of e-Discovery systems and their performances necessary. As a process, e Discovery can also be made to comply with every regulation applicable to the organization. eDiscovery helps protect valuable organizational data which is used during compliance audits. This process addresses governance, risk and compliance issues on a larger scale by protecting data privacy and integrity
