Companies often pay a heavy price in litigation—not due to the merits of the case, but instead because e-discovery transactional costs are magnified by poor data management practices in the ordinary course of business.

Now companies also are facing a rising tide of legal requirements for privacy & information security.

In this session, you will learn:

  • The new paradigm: how privacy & information security compliance can compel sound data management practices that will also help tame the uncontrolled expense of e-discovery,
  • The data mismanagement practices that are frequent culprits for excessive e-discovery costs, and
  • The principal requirements and sources of U.S. privacy & information security law.

This session also will provide an overview of how privacy & security compliance can bring your organization concrete results in managing its e-discovery cost exposure – and thereby cost-justify a re-energized focus on better managing electronic records.
