Litigation Hold

For emails that have been identified as potentially relevant to specific litigation or investigations it is necessary to suspend your organization’s standard document retention policy to prevent mistaken deletion as well as prevent deliberate or malicious spoliation of data by end users or administrators. Flexible Litigation Hold ensures the organizations can quickly identify potentially responsive data and halt deletion.

One-click suspension of all data purging ensures that destruction can be completely halted until more detailed analysis can be performed. In depth analysis by designated administrators can then quickly hold all data by custodian as well as restrict such holds to specific date ranges.

More flexible hold policies allow reviewers to search email content and attachments, by date or any metadata, and designate the destruction of that data be halted. Mimecast’s specific Litigation Holds feature allows you to do this rapidly and effectively across your entire email archive and avoid significant fines, manage risk and seriously weakening a legal defense.
