Original Press Release:
StoredIQ Announces Innovative New Approach to Data Access Control for eDiscovery
Providing Access to Protected Data for Reviews and Investigations by Content Classification, Rather than Physical Location
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 24 -- Responding to organizations' needs to assess and analyze data earlier in the eDiscovery process, StoredIQ, a leading provider of Intelligent Information Management and eDiscovery technologies, today announced the immediate availability of classification-based security. StoredIQ's latest innovation delivers precise control for granting access to potentially responsive data for audits, investigations and eDiscovery requests based on content classification, not just physical location, such as server, share or directory structures.
This new approach to access control allows companies to create a classification that represents the data to be reviewed by the legal team prior to finalizing collection and preservation decisions - without having to move data or temporarily change the security privileges on each system for each file or email that needs to be reviewed. Historically, an organization's IT department would have to copy a set of data from production systems and place them in a temporary storage location, where security access was then provided to the appropriate legal team.
"One of the greatest security challenges when conducting compliance audits, internal investigations or early case assessment for litigation is controlling who has access to what information located across the enterprise," said Christine Taylor, analyst with Taneja Group. "StoredIQ's solution is unique on several fronts, it allows the legal and IT teams to work closely together early in the process; it doesn't demand any movement of data to analyze the content prior to collection and preservation, and it ensure precise access to the right set of data."
Investigators and reviewers benefit from StoredIQ's intelligent access because they can define custom types and categories of unstructured data to review based on their own business rules and selection criteria. StoredIQ's powerful classification engine supports advanced search criteria that combines the use of system metadata, object level metadata, content keywords, natural language processing and concept extraction. Inside Counsel can now easily construct matter-specific working sets that allow deeper pre-collection review and analysis. Administrators also benefit because the time and effort to grant proper review access to large amounts of unstructured data is greatly reduced with StoredIQ.
StoredIQ locates, identifies, indexes and classifies unstructured and semi-structured data across the industry's broadest range of storage, email, archiving, content, document and record management systems. User groups or individual users can be assigned to individual or multiple classification-based working sets in order to securely control data access. With this classification-based approach to access control, StoredIQ is able to maintain search performance while giving the user the flexibility and power needed for comprehensive data access administration. This patent-pending technology is unique to StoredIQ and will save organizations costs and time preparing for and responding to audits, investigations, and eDiscovery requests.
"With our new classification driven access control, StoredIQ delivers another critical step forward to better manage the functional intersection of eDiscovery, records management and storage management with one unified solution," said Keith Zoellner, Chief Technology Officer at StoredIQ. "Now very precise and accurate views of data, based on content, can be accessed by select individuals or groups quickly with minimal administration effort."
