Collection »
We are able to reduce your data with targeted collections, minimizing processing and review.
BlueStar’s legally defensible processes provide important peace-of-mind when considering the adverse results or judgments that come from poorly retrieved, or lost electronic evidence.
The BlueStar Collection model:
- Consulting
By consulting early in the collection phase of the litigation lifecycle, we ensure not only that we defensibly acquire the necessary data, but also that we complete that acquisition within your predetermined budget for discovery. Our team of trained forensic consultants will work with you to develop a legally defensible collection strategy, including:
- Planning for the meet-and-confer
- Data mapping
- Custodian interviews
- Development of key search parameters
- Identification and Preservation
Due to recent sanctions, the duty to preserve is likely one of the most critical phases in eDiscovery and must be carried-out promptly and effectively. BlueStar will help you identify pertinent information by filtering, sampling and indexing your data in order to preserve what is relevant. Our proven processes will provide you with a targeted and defensible dataset, minimizing what needs to be preserved and collected.
- Data Acquisition
Every collection job is thoroughly documented through a detailed chain-of-custody, ensuring the integrity of your data. By gaining a full understanding of search parameters and custodian requirements, we can acquire data from hard drives, servers, cloud servers and mobile devices. Because we understand that the needs of every client differ, BlueStar offers both Forensic Collection services and Self-Collection Consulting.
- Data Analysis
Through well-practiced and honed forensic analysis, we can uncover critical—sometimes hidden—data such as evidence of document destruction, encrypted or password protected files, and more. Conducting early analysis on your collected dataset will substantially reduce the volume of data to be Processed and Reviewed.
