This seems efficient, as the same reviewer will be assessing for relevance and privilege during the same pass. However, relevance and privilege raise different considerations, and it is important for legal teams to be aware of them when planning document review workflows.

10 practical steps to prepare for the UAE’s Personal Data Protection LawOrganizations in the United Arab Emirates are entering a new era of data privacy enforcement. In late November, as part of its 50th anniversary, the UAE federal government issued a sweeping set of legal reforms, which notably included the UAE Federal Decree Law No. 45 for the 2021 Personal Data Protection Law. While this law has been long-awaited by data privacy experts in the region, many organizations are not prepared for the new obligations and controls that pertain to data processing and responding to new data subject rights. With less than one year before enforcement will begin, impacted organizations need to take swift action to achieve compliance.

How Cybersecurity Automation Can Boost Deal Value and Insights in M&A Due DiligenceBetween the exponential growth of data volume and variety, the emergence of stringent privacy laws and an ever-changing digital threat landscape, cybersecurity has been thrust to the forefront of critical business decisions – including M&A strategies and valuations. Today, the due diligence phase of M&A (mergers and acquisitions) transactions must scrutinize a target’s cybersecurity posture to avoid the inheritance of unwanted vulnerabilities. However, rather than representing an additional compliance burden, incorporating dynamically-evolving cybersecurity automation techniques into this process can yield a distinct advantage – generating insights to mitigate risk and enrich decision-making.

The Importance of Demystifying Deleted Data During Cyber Incident Response, Investigations, or E-discoveryWhen a file is deleted, is it really gone for good? Most people likely think so. Digital forensics experts, however, know that ‘delete’ isn’t necessarily synonymous with ‘disappear,’ which can be an important distinction when investigating an incident or compliance issue. A common denominator between these types of matters in both cybersecurity incident response (IR) and e-discovery is that practitioners are often tasked with finding obscure yet critical electronic evidence –and must often recover data that has been deleted. Most rely on standard processes for doing so, and though these common methods have their merits, intensifying demands and challenges in investigations have created a need for new approaches that provide more robust and efficient routes to the restoration of evidence.

Balancing eDiscovery Between In-house and Outside ResourcesBusinesses unknowingly waste millions of dollars every year in excess or unnecessary e-discovery costs. This includes time-consuming entanglements like storing countless data collections and legal holds spread across dozens of disparate vendors and locations. Legal issues are further convoluted by having relinquished control of every new e-discovery matter to different outside partners, all using varied approaches and tools. In-house oversight can help contain the costs and risks associated with e-discovery. Often, a standardized internal program that manages and limits the use of outside providers can significantly improve overall defensibility and accountability, and in turn, reduce expenses.

Litigation in the Digital Health RevolutionEvery few years, technology brings new challenges and uncharted territory to the legal landscape, and technology is always moving faster than the field’s ability to adapt. Over the next five years, we’ll see a shift in how health data applies to litigation, and attorneys will gain more understanding of how to leverage it for evidence; much in the same way legal professionals have faced and are still learning to navigate the challenges with e-discovery and data collection for electronic documents, mobile devices, social media accounts and new data types.

Building Bridges With the Board—Innovation in Information GovernanceIT professionals and enterprise board members live in two very different worlds.

Bridging the gap between these strategic priorities and day-to-day concerns to initiate an organization’s technological transformation can seem insurmountable.

In today’s landscape, those steps are still important, but a much more proactive and strategic stance is necessary to keep pace with the rapidly advancing abilities of state-sponsored threat actors like North Korea.
