Frequently Asked Questions
What is eDiscovery?
eDiscovery (electronic discovery) is the process of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) for legal, regulatory, or investigative purposes. In IT terms, it involves indexing and searching across email, file shares, databases, and backups tolocaterelevant data quickly. Commvault supports this by enabling legal holds, metadata search, and role-based access to preserve and retrieve data without disrupting operations. It integrates with compliance workflows to reduce manual effort and risk.Essentially, itgives IT teams control and visibility over enterprise data when legal or audit requests arise.
What are some required capabilities for an eDiscovery tool?
An effective eDiscovery tool needs several core capabilities to help organizations comply with legal or regulatory requests, including:
- Comprehensive data visibility: It must index and search across all relevant data sources, like email, file systems, databases, cloud apps, and backups.
- Legal hold management: It should preserve data in place to prevent alteration or deletion once it’s part of an investigation.
- Advanced search and filtering: The tool must support metadata, keyword, and contextual searches to locate relevant ESI quickly and accurately.
How are eDiscovery and compliance related?
eDiscovery and compliance are tightly connected because both deal with managing and governing data.eDiscovery focuses on finding, preserving, and producing electronic information for legal cases, investigations, or audits. Compliance involves meeting requirements for how data is stored,retained, and protected. This requiresretentionpolicies, access controls, and auditable records. Compliancehelpsbuild the foundationand specify what must be done, while eDiscoveryleveragesthat foundation to respond efficiently when legal or regulatory actions arise.
