Why eDiscovery Demands Forensic Precision

Modern litigation generates discovery obligations that span terabytes of structured and unstructured data across cloud platforms, mobile devices, collaboration tools, and legacy archives. A single misstep in collection or processing can result in spoliation sanctions, adverse inference instructions, or case-dispositive rulings. Mjolnir Security brings digital forensics discipline to every phase of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), ensuring that your data is defensible from the moment of preservation through final production.

Our eDiscovery practice was born from our incident response heritage. With over 580 DFIR engagements, we understand how data lives, moves, and hides across enterprise environments. That expertise translates directly into more thorough collections, more accurate processing, and productions that withstand the most aggressive opposing counsel challenges.

Whether you are responding to a regulatory inquiry, managing multi-party litigation, or conducting an internal investigation, our team delivers the technical rigor and chain-of-custody documentation that courts and regulators expect.

End-to-End eDiscovery Capabilities

Legal Hold Management

We implement and manage defensible legal hold programs that satisfy preservation obligations across your organization. Our approach includes automated hold notices, custodian acknowledgment tracking, periodic reminders, and release workflows. We work with your legal team to identify custodians, map data sources, and ensure that auto-deletion policies and retention schedules are suspended for relevant data stores.

Data Identification & Collection

Our forensic examiners collect electronically stored information (ESI) from virtually any source using write-blocked, forensically sound methods:

Processing & Analytics

Raw data is processed through our analytics pipeline to reduce volume and surface relevant documents. We apply de-duplication, email threading, near-duplicate detection, and advanced keyword and concept searches. Technology-assisted review (TAR) and continuous active learning (CAL) workflows accelerate review timelines while maintaining recall rates that satisfy proportionality requirements.

Document Review & Quality Control

Our review teams work within industry-standard platforms to code documents for relevance, privilege, confidentiality, and issue tags. Multi-tier quality control processes ensure consistency across reviewers. We provide detailed review metrics including richness rates, overturn rates, and production-readiness dashboards.

Production & Testimony

We produce documents in any format required by court order or agreement — native files, TIFF/PDF with load files, or hybrid productions. Redaction workflows handle PII, trade secrets, and privileged content. Our examiners are experienced expert witnesses who can testify to collection methodology, chain of custody, and data integrity under cross-examination.

Regulatory & Cross-Border Discovery

International matters require careful navigation of data protection regimes including GDPR, PIPEDA, and sector-specific privacy laws. We structure cross-border collections and transfers to comply with local regulations while meeting discovery obligations in the litigation jurisdiction. Our team has supported eDiscovery in matters spanning Canada, the United States, the European Union, and Asia-Pacific jurisdictions.

🔍

Forensically Sound Collection

Every collection follows forensic best practices with full chain-of-custody documentation, hash verification, and write-blocked imaging — ensuring admissibility and defensibility.

Court-Ready Expertise

Our examiners hold certifications including EnCE, GCFE, and CCE, and have provided expert testimony in federal and provincial courts across Canada and the United States.

📊

AI-Powered Review

Technology-assisted review with continuous active learning reduces review populations by up to 80% while maintaining recall rates above 90%, cutting costs and accelerating timelines.
