Key Features for Choosing Legal Hold Technology

As regulatory compliance becomes increasingly critical, investing in effective legal hold technology is essential to mitigate risk and streamline processes. Lauren Burnside of Mitratech has reported that mishandling data can result in severe penalties, making the right solution vital for organizational efficiency and compliance. 

Here are the features to look for when choosing legal hold technology:

  • A well-designed, intuitive interface will ensure swift adoption, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency. 
  • Clear navigation, customizable workflows, automated reminders, and cross-device compatibility streamline onboarding and operations.
  • Robust automation simplifies the legal hold process by sending standardized notifications, halting data disposal, and centralizing evidence. 
  • Detailed reporting and analytics will enable legal teams to monitor compliance efforts and track progress. Real-time insights and customizable reports enhance defensibility, optimize workflows, and provide valuable data for audits and litigation. 
  • Strong security and compliance features, such as continuous monitoring and integration with databases, mitigate risks. 

The ideal legal hold software should allow you to adapt to changes in legal hold requirements and scope, continuously track custodian updates, and integrate seamlessly with platforms like human resource and enterprise resource planning systems and collaboration tools to reduce redundancy and support efficient workflows. These capabilities combine to minimize manual tasks, reduce costs, and ensure timely engagement with custodians.
