Legal Tech: Cloud and Security Considerations for e-Discovery
The cloud is everywhere in today's legal technology world, but knowing what to consider before embarking into the cloud can be daunting. While you have many of the same issues that exist in other industries, data exchange in the e-discovery industry presents some very interesting challenges, especially as the data flows downstream from the corporation to the e-discovery vendor and then to the law firm and even further down the line to the experts or others that are going to view the data.
How do you know if the cloud is right for you and your organization? While more and more cloud-based solutions are appearing in the e-discovery arena, which seem to be a better choice than on-premises solutions, e-discovery presents some special considerations that need to be examined before deciding what is best for your organization and really taking a stand in the on-premises vs. cloud debate.
Security
Security is always at the top of people's lists of concerns when it comes to the cloud. The ability to have hands-on control and ensure security through your firm's firewall and other sophisticated security measures is one of the big draws of on-premises software over cloud-based software. As you can imagine, in the case of something as important as e-discovery, where the protection of confidential and sensitive information is a serious concern, many firms have historically been reluctant to relinquish that control and trust in the security of the cloud.
