IG and Ediscovery: A Symbiotic Relationship
technology use of the employees. The corporation now
has the opportunity to define what IG looks like for
Google Hangouts, Dropbox, and similar applications. In
the internet of things (IoT), this trend toward discrete,
dynamic, diverse data sources will continue, and
corporations can benefit from electronic discovery to
wrap their heads around what they do not know.
Informal Auditing through Ediscovery
Finally, ediscovery can be looked at as an audit
of a company's IG policies. Ediscovery provides
organizations with an opportunity to test IG policies
with real world examples. Maybe the collection team
is gathering data from a short-term cloud document
repository (e.g., file transfer protocol site) and the
IG policy dictates that data older than 30 days is
permanently removed from the platform. During
the collection effort the team observes nothing older
than 30 days. This is confirmation that the IG policy
is in-place and properly executed. Good news for the
collection team, positive feedback for the IG team, win
for the organization.
Thriving Together
Information governance benefits electronic discovery
because it defines how information is managed and
maintained, leading to a defensible and efficient
electronic discovery process. Ediscovery drives
continuous improvement of IG, acting as an audit for
organizational policies, practices, and systems. Like
an ecosystem, IG and ediscovery thrive together. All
it takes is identifying new and existing information
sources, implementing policies for information
management, leveraging the policies in ediscovery,
and taking lessons learned back to the drawing board
to improve the system. Collectively, ediscovery and IG
help an organization control their litigation spend and
beer manage information assets. P2P
