White Paper
Concerns over emerging data sources have reached an all-time high. After several years of steadily burning in the background of legal department challenges, the flames have caught on and grown, forcing in-house counsel and their law firms into fire-fighting mode across e-discovery, compliance monitoring, investigations, regulatory response and more. Over the last year, 62% of global general counsel confirmed they had experienced distinct new issues associated with collaboration tools, chat applications, file shares and other similar cloudbased systems, and nearly all (93%) expressed some level of concern about emerging data sources as a significant area of risk.

Technology Modernisation for Internal Investigations: Clarion Call for Innovation and Improvement
The landscape of internal investigations has changed dramatically in recent years. This has been driven by factors including increased regulatory and legal pressures, unforeseen government intervention and growth in the scale of information requests. As a result, large organisations today are inundated with an increasing volume of whistleblower claims, allegations of misconduct, customer complaints and claims, suspicious activity reports, freedom of information requests, data subject access requests (DSARs), subpoenas, etc. While each request differs in substance, they all share the requirement to collect information, review and investigate, collaborate on findings, and report.

Forecasting Digital Risk in 2024
After a feverish period of disruption across many facets of technology, it’s becoming more difficult to delineate between what could happen and what will happen in the months and year ahead. Business leaders often rely upon industry forecasts to prepare for anticipated change that is likely to impact their operations, go-to-market strategies, hiring plans, etc. Yet in a hype-filled environment in which it seems like anything is possible, organizations must be highly discerning about how they prepare for evolving digital risk and establish resilience for future technological disruption.
White Paper
Digital risk has triggered a fundamental shift in the corporate legal department. Against a tremulous cultural, economic and geopolitical backdrop, numerous issues have cascaded into tipping points across the legal function. Data-centered regulatory activity, privacy requirements, generative artificial intelligence disruption, technology advancement and an expansive web of emerging data sources are now impacting the way legal departments prioritize resources. In addition to placing tremendous demand on in-house counsel, this environment has led to a decline in the general counsel’s feelings of preparedness for every major risk category.
