Addressing the Challenges of Cross-Border Data Protection and eDiscovery. One of the more troubling eDiscovery issues that globalization has inadvertently imposed on organizations is compliance with a complex set of international data protection and privacy laws.
These laws present a significant challenge to U.S. companies, which enjoy fewer domestic restraints on collecting and storing personal data of its employees and consumers. It’s not that these laws are unfamiliar concepts to U.S. corporations. Contrary to popular belief, statutes and regulations do exist in the U.S. to help protect certain personal and financial information from unauthorized disclosure.
Nevertheless, the U.S. approach to data protection is mostly patchwork and is unmatched by the comprehensive framework in other regions, particularly in Europe. Data Protection in Europe The data protection regime adopted by the European Union (EU) presents unique information governance challenges to even the most sophisticated organizations. Time spent telling judges about their use of social media could be better spent on eDisclosure. Recent guidance from the UK’s Senior Presiding Judge and the Senior President of Tribunals fired a warning shot over the bows of judges who blog, a term which they helpfully define as being “derived from the term ‘web log’”.
The inclusion of the definition somehow reminds me of all those relatively elderly lawyers who still refer to data as being provided “on CD”, as if that reference from circa 2005 were another way of saying “electronically”. Both examples come across as rather strained attempts to be seen to be down wit da kidz. My own reaction was a rather sarcastic tweet: We should perhaps be pleased to discover that the senior judges know what a “blog” is. Next year “Twitter”, and “Facebook” by 2014 Lengthier and more serious comment followed from English commentators such as Adam Wagner and ObiterJ. So far as I am concerned, the UK judicial advice, if it was necessary at all, got its emphasis wrong. Home Like this: Like Loading... Cloud Survey By Kroll Ontrack Reveals A Surge In Cloud Storage And Virtualization Adoption Shortage Of Proactive Protocols To Protect This Data.
While sixty-two percent of survey respondents are leveraging the cloud and/or virtualization, only 33 percent of these organizations test data recovery plans regularly to ensure proper protocols are in place to protect this data.
This is a key finding from a recent survey conducted by Kroll Ontrack, the leading provider of data recovery, e-discovery and information management, of 367 enterprise and services providers. Forty-nine percent of organizations reported experiencing some type of data loss in the last year, but not necessarily from the cloud. Fifty-five percent denoted data was lost from a traditional storage device in contrast to 26 percent who reported a data loss from a virtual environment, 3 percent who reported a loss from the cloud and 16 percent who experienced data loss from both a virtual environment as well as the cloud.
Key questions to consider prior to incorporating cloud in your storage architecture include: eDiscovery And GRC: When Shall The ‘Twain Meet? Greg Buckles Attendance at the Houston bDiscovery gathering fluctuates wildly based on weather, spring break and many other factors.
This evenings gathering was small, but rich in experience with a wild variety of clients, partners and employers. As happens so often at LTNY or anywhere eDiscovery professionals and alcohol mix, the conversation quickly devolves into carefully sanitized stories of bonehead mistakes, amazing bills, print parties, Luddite partners, cookie bearing copy reps and more. eDiscovery old-timers know better than to name names or give any specific details that could even hint at the identities of the parties, but these stories are more than entertainment. They comprise our tribal wisdom. They can educate the next generation of eDiscovery professionals so that they are not doomed to repeat the same mistakes we made in the 1990’s and too many of our clients continue to make today.
