FAQ

Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science that involves the collection, recovery, and investigation of data found on devices and accounts that store electronic data. Common devices that are the subject of digital forensic analysis include personal computers, laptops, tablets, smart phones, servers, email accounts, social media accounts, web-based storage accounts, wearable technology, and Internet connected devices (Internet of Things), among others.

The terms “computer forensics” and “digital forensics” often are used interchangeably. Because experts in our industry routinely work with many device types other than computers, as well as electronic storage accounts, digital forensics more accurately captures the modern scope of expertise.

The eDiscovery lifecycle consists of the following stages:

  • Information Governance: The information governance stage is not specific to a particular case, but rather is the process of planning for eDiscovery and management of electronically stored information (“ESI”) in order to best manage eDiscovery risks and costs.
  • Identification: The identification stage involves determining the scope of ESI for a matter, such as custodians who possess ESI, data categories, and ESI storage locations.
  • Preservation: The preservation stage ensures that ESI cannot inappropriately be altered or destroyed. This typically should occur when litigation reasonably is anticipated.
  • Collection: The collection stage involves copying ESI for subsequent use in the discovery process, for example through the use of a digital forensics provider who can collect ESI in a verifiable manner without altering potentially relevant metadata.
  • Processing: The processing stage typically includes reducing the volume of ESI through automated means, such as application of date restrictions and search terms, and conversion of ESI into a format that can be more easily reviewed and analyzed, such as load files that can be imported into a hosted review platform.
  • Review: The review stage involves reviewing ESI for responsiveness, such as to discovery requests, and privilege.  Many lawyers use a hosted document review platform to conduct more efficient document reviews, such as Relativity, iConect, and others.
  • Production: The production stage consists of turning over relevant non-privileged ESI for review by other parties, ideally based on agreed-upon production specifications.
  • Presentation: The presentation stage involves displaying ESI that has been reviewed in various forums, such as depositions, hearings, mediations, and/or trials.  Electronic evidence can be presented to assist witness testimony, demonstrate key facts, or persuade the finder of fact.

Assisted review utilizes technology such as predictive coding and advanced machine learning to apply reviewers’ coding decisions to a broader data set, thereby decreasing review time and costs.
