Organizations should adopt best practices for a legal hold to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This includes establishing clear policies and procedures for identifying, collecting, and preserving relevant electronically stored information (ESI). Organizations shouldalso deploy technology solutions to automate and streamline the legal hold process. These solutions should include features to easily identify and track custodians (people who personally possess and are in charge of the information that needs to be preserved), securely collect and preserve data, and monitor and enforce legal holds.
