Corporate Compliance and E-Discovery

Today it is essential for companies to classify corporate information not only to inprove the quality of intra-company search but also to monitor and understand the risks and liabilities that can result from employee use and misuse of company information. In the extreme case a company needs both protection against litigation and to be prepared to defend itself against law suits.

IBUKI sells taxonomies and ontologies that can be used for both corporate compliance and litigation support. The idea of our corporate compliance products is to allow a company to classify corporate information from the point of view of compliance with corporate policy. The idea of our litigation support products is to facilitate forensic search through existing corporate documents and communications to understand the scope of any legal issues should litigation occur.

Some issues involve compliance with laws that impose restrictions on the flow of corporate information. These take many forms:

  • Government mandated reporting
  • Government mandates privacy requirements
  • Hostile workplace rules
  • Illegal activity - like drug dealing

Others simply involve corporate policy like:

  • No pornography on company time
  • No political advocacy on company time
  • No gambling on company time
  • Drug Free Company policy
These may not be illegal per se but are part of the rules that an employee agrees to as a requiremrnt of employment. The rules are usually described in a company employee handbook or some similiar document.
