QuestionQ250

Procedures and Methodology

An organization has successfully established its eDiscovery strategy, with a focus on efficiently managing data collection for a legal investigation. As part of this strategy, the legal team must ensure that only relevant data is collected from the appropriate sources. The legal team is responsible for identifying the data sources that contain the electronically stored information (ESI) needed for the investigation. Which eDiscovery best practice is the legal team following in this situation?

  • A Rely on self-collection by custodians without providing clear guidelines.
  • B Map the data to identify custodians and determine the location of the data for collection.
  • C Use directed collection to obtain all available data from custodians, including irrelevant files.
  • D Collect data only from one source to minimize collection time and resources.
Explanation

Data mapping identifies relevant custodians and the locations of their electronically stored information so collection can be targeted to appropriate sources and limited to material relevant to the matter. Microsoft Purview eDiscovery similarly associates data sources with custodians and lets users identify the related mailboxes, SharePoint sites, and Teams data sources.
