Addressing eDiscovery Cloud Security Concerns
If you are handling your clients data for the purposes of litigation or an investigation, you will be very aware of the immediate concern of ensuring that your clients data is safe and secure. Therefore, as cloud storage becomes more common, questions surrounding the security of data held in the cloud become more prevalent. This blog outlines why you can put your cloud security fears at ease.
As eDiscovery and data storage solutions evolve, we are seeing an increase in the use of cloud storage for our data. A prime example of this is RelativityOne, a SaaS product that is hosted in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. Altlaw recently announced an extension of our partnership with Relativity to provide RelativityOne to our clients.
As with any new service or product there will be those who are sceptical to adopt change, and this is especially true when it comes to technology and data security.
As a RelativityOne partner, one of the most asked questions Altlaw receives is:
How secure is my data in the cloud?
In short, the answer to the above question is – extremely secure.
The difference between legacy on-premise eDiscovery platforms such as Relativity; and cloud-based eDiscovery platforms such as RelativityOne is as follows:
- On-premise eDiscovery platforms stored your data on servers which were owned / managed by your eDiscovery provider.
- Cloud based eDiscovery platforms store your data on servers owned / managed by a third party which in RelativityOne’s case is Microsoft.
