Destroy Legacy Data Before It Comes Back to Haunt Your Firm
http://ow.ly/7L09a
An article by Anne Kershaw posted on law.com on the LTN webpage.
The article discusses legacy data, and the obligations associated with preserving and producing such electronically stored information.
The article provides six steps that are offered as guidance as to how to deal with legacy data, and offers advice about possibly removing data when there is no obligation to preserve such data. The six steps referenced are as follows, and a discussion of each step is provided in the article:
1. Confirm existing data, and information management and discovery response programs.
2. Inventory legacy data sources.
3. Take reasonable efforts to establish provenance.
4. Schedule or destroy.
5. Disposition opinion.
6. Follow-up.
