Geographic Data Restrictions in eDiscovery AI
Can I limit where my data is processed?
Yes, eDiscovery AI offers the option to restrict data
processing to specific geographic regions or countries. This feature is
designed to help you meet data sovereignty requirements and comply with local
regulations.
1.
How it works:
- Pre-review Setup:
Before starting your review, coordinate with your legal service provider
or with eDiscovery AI to establish any necessary geographic restrictions.
- Regional Processing:
eDiscovery AI will coordinate the processing to occur only within your
chosen region or country.
- Azure Data Centers:
We leverage Microsoft Azure's global network of data centers to provide
this geographic flexibility.
2.
Why this matters:
- Compliance: Many
industries and countries have strict rules about where data can be stored
and processed.
- Data Sovereignty:
Keeping data within specific borders can be a legal or policy requirement
for some organizations.
- Local Regulations:
Adhering to local data protection laws (like GDPR in Europe) is easier
with geographic restrictions.
3.
How to set it up:
- Contact your legal
service provider or eDiscovery AI representative before starting your
project.
- Specify your geographic
requirements.
- Our team will configure
your project to use data centers in the approved regions.
4.
Important notes:
- This option must be set
up before processing begins.
- While we offer
flexibility, available regions depend on Azure's data center locations.
- Geographic restrictions
may impact processing speed in some cases.
By offering geographic data restrictions, eDiscovery AI
helps you maintain control over your data's location, supporting your
compliance and data governance efforts.
