Our Services

We take a proactive approach to data. Regardless of whether you need help with information management, privacy, security, legal and regulatory challenges, or rapidly shifting data threats. Whatever your data needs are, we can handle it.

eDiscovery

Data Processing & Hosting // Data Analytics // Project Management

You have a ton of data, a limited time frame, and a very small margin for error. We are used to working under tight deadlines, with everything counting on us to get it right. We’ll address your long-term and immediate regulatory, litigation, and investigative needs with grace, precision, and speed.

How We Get It Done:

  • We use state-of-the-art eDiscovery platforms Relativity and Everlaw
  • We collaborate to ensure all projects are executed to their fullest potential
  • We use best-practices analytic methods such as clustering, data visualizations, email threading, near-duplicate identification, and data sampling to further filter data before a review

In 2021, Cognicion managed the processing, hosting, and review of 1 Terabyte of data in a federal investigation for environmental violations involving a company overseeing a $250 million highway construction project.

Problem

DOJ requested over 70 productions of relevant material across 40 data sources made in under a year during the ongoing investigation.

Solution

Cognicion leveraged search terms, date restriction, email threading, and near-duplicate analysis to cull the reviewable email population from over a million documents to 150,000. We further streamlined the review of short message data across 12 mobile devices by developing a custom short message data semi-automated Cellebrite report review workflow.

Result

Stringent DOJ obligations were satisfied and the client saved tens of thousands of dollars in mobile device data processing and hosting.
