Electronic Legal Hold

An Electronic Legal Hold is a process used by organizations to preserve electronic documents and data that may be relevant to a legal case. When a legal issue arises, companies need to ensure that certain records—like emails, files, and databases—are not deleted or altered. This process involves identifying the relevant data, notifying employees to retain it, and implementing measures to prevent its destruction. By doing this, organizations comply with legal requirements and help ensure that important information is available for review during litigation or investigations.
