Data proliferation isn't going anywhere, so it's critical for organizations of all types to have scalable solutions. That’s especially true with legal, investigatory, and compliance data.
eDiscovery and information governance professionals face two main challenges when managing and storing large amounts of data. First, on-premises storage doesn’t scale — it’s too expensive and cumbersome to keep up with ballooning data volumes. Second, most cloud storage solutions weren’t built to support eDiscovery and investigation workflows, so they can be risky, slow, and expensive.
So, how can organizations securely and cost-effectively preserve their data in the cloud? At Casepoint, we believe organizations should be able to seamlessly scale according to their needs, securely load data for review at the touch of a button, AND cut costs.
That’s why we built Casepoint Filestore™, our cloud-based data management and staging solution, which empowers you to effortlessly store, stage, manage, organize, and securely transfer collected data based on needs and budget.
In this blog, I cover just a few benefits of leveraging Casepoint Filestore™.
Experience a Seamless Bridge Between Casepoint Filestore™ and the Casepoint Platform
Casepoint Filestore™ is fully integrated within Casepoint’s platform. You can seamlessly move data into Casepoint Filestore™ for data staging and storing, as well as reactivate data into Casepoint eDiscovery for review in just a few clicks— all without leaving the Casepoint system. This eliminates the wasted time and added security risks of transferring data between an eDiscovery software and an on-premises archiving server or separate third-party service.
Casepoint Filestore™ and Casepoint eDiscovery are a powerful combination that gives legal and eDiscovery teams full access, control, and transparency of their collected data. There is no need to rely on outside resources to store, transfer, archive, or reactivate data for review, which streamlines workflows
Defensible Chain of Custody
For legal, investigatory, and compliance matters, eDiscovery and legal teams need to prove the proper documentation and control of the transfer of evidence from one entity to another. This can be a major challenge for organizations when large complex matters are involved, especially when data is being moved around between different systems or third parties. Casepoint Filestore™ provides transparency into the movement of data and every action that was taken with that data. Organizations can easily see and report when data was collected, how it was accessed, when, and by whom.
Heightened Security
One of the biggest benefits of Casepoint Filestore™ is the enhanced security it offers legal, eDiscovery, and investigative teams. Since Casepoint Filestore™ ensures that collected data remains within the secure confines of the Casepoint platform, it mitigates potential risks of data breaches and spoliation associated with external data transfers. Data kept within Casepoint Filestore™ is protected by Casepoint’s industry-leading security standards, which include FedRAMP Moderate and FedRAMP High authorizations as well as Department of Defense Impact Level 5 and 6 authorizations.
Organize, Stage, and Store Data in its Native Format
Casepoint Filestore™ eliminates the need for file format conversions. You can upload and download large volumes of data in its native format without processing delays or countless error messages.
Casepoint Filestore™ provides the flexibility to store “golden copies” of archived data for future reference, or to store collected data that you or your organization might need in the future but do not necessarily need to access regularly. When litigation, investigations, or regulatory response needs arise, you can sync that data into a Casepoint eDiscovery workspace for active review at the touch of a button.
Conversely, once a case is no longer active, you can seamlessly archive the case and its associated data, including your work product like redactions and coding decisions, from Casepoint eDiscovery into Casepoint Filestore™ for secure and cost-effective storage.
Casepoint Filestore™ empowers you to maintain a comprehensive data repository while keeping your workflow efficient and accessible at all times.
Flexible Pricing and Scalability
With data creation and storage increasingly moving to the cloud, organizations need modern data management solutions to scale without breaking the bank.
Casepoint Filestore™ is 100% cloud-based and provides instant scalability to accommodate the evolving needs and data volume of our customers. Casepoint doesn’t throttle data processing speeds or upcharge for increased processing capacity. And since it’s 100% cloud-based storage, there are no lofty upfront fees or ongoing maintenance costs. With Casepoint FilesStore™, you can tailor your storage needs to match your unique data demands, optimizing cost-effectiveness and resource utilization.
Also, unlike other traditional data storage options like network file shares or standalone cloud-based options like Amazon S3, Azure, Sharepoint, and Google Drive, Casepoint Filestore™ offers a defined location for legal and compliance data that isn’t mixed in with the rest of an organization's data, so you can maintain control and identify relevant data sooner.
Casepoint Filestore™ can adapt to the dynamic data landscape, making it a future-proof investment for those eager to lead the charge in data management.
Casepoint Filestore™: A New Era in Data Management
Casepoint Filestore™ is at the forefront of cloud-based data organization and storage for legal, compliance, and investigatory matters. Corporations and government agencies can easily manage and archive sensitive data in a secure and cost-effective manner, and quickly reactive data for review, all within Casepoint’s end-to-end data discovery platform.
Casepoint Filestore™ offers organizations flexible and secure data management so they can reduce their legal risk, simplify their legal, eDiscovery, and investigatory workflows, and optimize spend.
