December 2nd Annual Executive Roundtable On Best Practices In Electronic Records Management & Retention

Evidence Exchange is hosting the 2nd Annual Executive Roundtable sessions on Best Practices in Electronic Records Management & Retention

Few topics have received more attention in corporate boardrooms, in Washington and in the press following the outcome of several celebrated cases, the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley and recent judicial decisions on the subject. What records to keep? How long to keep them? Two questions that frame the issue. And, the answers to which determine or influence a company’s Electronic Records Management and Retention risk profile.

The Executive Roundtable is designed to assist Companies and improve their performance in this area by learning from industry experts and from other colleagues wrestling with similar issues at varying stages of development. The Agenda is participatory and each

Roundtable participant will be asked to, (at a minimum) briefly describe their current strategy and perhaps share some of their key challenges and opportunities. Explore how other Corporate Counsel protect their electronic assets, manage their electronic archives, reduce the cost of compliance and look to avoid deficiencies leading to spoliation sanctions, criminal charges and / or regulatory penalties.

The first Roundtable was held in Houston on July 17, 2003. Seven energy companies participated. This year, the focus in New York will be on the financial services industry. Additional details to be provided over the summer! E-mail us to be placed on our Roundtable Mailing List or please contact Michael Prounis, CEO & Co-Founder of Evidence Exchange at (212) 594-2500 ext. 314 or at michael.prounis@evidenceexchange.com.

New Article On Admissability Of E-Evidence By Myron Eagle, Esq., Co- Founder & President Of Evidence Exchange

Computer evidence processed with Evidence Exchange Secure Digital Photocopier's underlying technology (MD-5 and SHA-1) has been successfully admitted in civil and criminal cases worldwide. To date, there are no known challenges to such technology on authentication grounds. In fact, recent case law has upheld the validity of its underlying MD-5 technology. The full article can be found at www.evidenceexchange.com under Expert Opinion and In The News.

The ruling is significant as it provides that Evidence Exchange’s processed materials can potentially be authenticated at trial, even if the examiner who created it is unavailable to testify. Evidence Exchange’s data integrity service is based upon Surety’s Digital Notary®engine, which provides mathematical, cryptographically verifiable proof of electronic record integrity. It is able to detect the alteration of a single bit in an electronic record or the alteration of the timestamp associated with that electronic record.
