Global Investigations podcast: Episode 6

In our sixth episode of our Global Investigations Podcast Series we discuss the preservation, collection and transfer of data in investigations. 

What are the key considerations, potential pitfalls and practical tips for managing data in investigations?

Takeaways from the discussion include:

1. Data sources are becoming more and more complex: this creates challenges for companies when preserving and collecting data. Companies need to ensure that they have a comprehensive understanding of their data universe and have addressed all potential sources of data when starting an investigation.
2. Document the steps you have taken: right from the start of an investigation, document the preservation and collection steps taken.
3. Take care with data transfer: there are a number of considerations when transferring data including data privacy and, in some jurisdictions such as France, blocking statutes may prevent the transfer of data.
