Data Collection

We've helped countless clients create and execute data recovery plans, regardless of the type of data being recovered, size of the target organization, time constraints imposed by the project or whether we are collecting from an adversary’s hostile work environment. In most matters, it is preferable by far to preserve as much evidence as possible and process a small portion of the available universe of data rather than to allow portions of potentially critical information to disappear forever.

When necessary, we work with clients to develop a "rapid response" plan to present to the court to ensure key information is preserved (including preparation for 30(b)(6) depositions), and to create mirror image backups of targeted hard drives/servers. We are not bound by the limitations of off-the-shelf tools to harvest data; when the situation warrants, we can apply proprietary procedures and processes to solve difficult collection issues.

NTI is regularly appointed as Special Master by courts to manage the harvesting process when the parties are unable to reach consensus on the parameters of the project.
