As large businesses increasingly find themselves mired in legal battles, data management provider Kroll Ontrack has launched a new cloud-based service for preserving, filtering and exporting data that could potentially be used in litigation or investigations.
The new service, Ontrack Guardian, uses Kroll’s branded Ontrack Compass enterprise archiving package as its base platform. The repository enables enterprises to locate and search for potentially important evidence data by keyword, custodian, date range and content type, Director of Product Line Management Tom McCaffrey told eWEEK.
It is designed with drop-down menus and wizards for business people to use to find their own files, which takes the pressure off an IT staff when a litigation situation arises.
“This really makes it easy for people to use, and it cuts large upfront costs – no servers are needed,” McCaffrey said. “The service takes care of all aspects of finding the right files.”
Key features, according to McCaffrey, are as follows:
As options, Kroll Ontrack also includes litigation hold/preservation consulting, data mapping services, data collection services and data security assessments.
“No enterprise is exempt from e-discovery,” McCaffrey said. “Discovery is inevitable, especially for enterprises that are highly litigated, regulated or the subject of compliance audits.
“Once discovery is anticipated, enterprises begin the arduous process of working with IT to issue a legal hold and begin locating sources of potentially responsive data. With Ontrack Guardian discovery repository services, enterprises now have an alternative.”
