Discovery Compliance

The risks associated with preservation of ESI are significant. NightOwl consultants target this in a systematic, comprehensive approach involving information gathering and gap  analysis to identify and quantify the risks associated with an organization’s information systems, policies, and practices.

Data is gathered on policies, procedures, and practices related to information management, litigation response, and routine operational protocols via a combination of document review and interviews with representatives from legal, IT, records, compliance, and operations.

Analysis identifies options available to the organization to mitigate risk, reduce costs, and provide requirements for implementation. We recommend necessary changes in policy, practice, and technologies to mitigate risk.
