The Problem

Today, compliance requirements are more complex than ever. How do you ensure your organization complies with external regulation? In today’s increasingly regulated environment ensuring your organization implements and maintains adequate controls is becoming an ever more complex task.

Compliance Officers are increasingly working in conjunction with Legal and I.T. teams to identify and classify data and develop frameworks and processes that meet Regulatory requirements.

Typically such processes are designed to implement reasonable procedures to preserve – or delete – relevant material and ensure the ability to deliver critical information to key Business stakeholders on time.

• Where and how are different data types stored?
• Can the business locate and retrieve required data in time?
• Is the business effectively implementing and adhering to retention and deletion policies?
• Are the processes resilient and routinely tested?
• Is there a ‘Plan B’ in the event of internal process failure?

Failure to implement and manage robust policies and processes can result in significant penalties, reputational damage and business disruption.

Voice Compliance Management

TDS delivers legacy voice data defensibly and often at vast scale into Compliance or e-Discovery processes for large corporations around the world.

The Problem

Few could have foreseen the sheer amount of corporate data stored on backup tapes that may affect eDiscovery in ways not anticipated, and the penalties are steep for those who fail to respond to litigation events in time. How do you ensure that all responsive data is disclosed on time and in a legally defensible manner?

Complex and time consuming backup tape restoration projects often present a pressure point between Legal, I.T. and Compliance teams.

• Legal teams, faced with the need to respond quickly and accurately to frequent e-Discovery requests often rely on the ability of their I.T. teams to  identify and restore data.
• Due to various reasons such as organizations failing to adhere to their data retention policies, the advent of ‘legal hold’, or simply the fact that backup tapes were never designed as a searchable archive, in-house data retrieval can be costly, inefficient, inaccurate and highly risky.
• In addition, legal teams are often stuck when asked to produce budgets at an early stage because of the lack of intelligent and reliable means to accurately assess likely costs for the searching, retrieval and review of targeted, potentially responsive data.
