Advanced Digital Forensics to Collect, Organize, Analyze & Preserve Data
Big Data
Blackfish Intelligence offers end-to-end eDiscovery solutions to corporations and law firms.
eDiscovery, or electronic discovery, is the process of identifying, collecting, preserving, analyzing, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) for use as evidence in legal cases. It has become essential in modern litigation due to the vast amounts of data stored digitally.

Our Process
e-DISCOVERY
Identification & Collection
Our process begins with identifying and securing potentially relevant data to prevent tampering or loss. This involves safeguarding sensitive data during collection and transfer. The data mapping process outlines where relevant information might be stored.
Preservation
We ensure that all relevant data is preserved in its original form to avoid spoliation (destruction or alternation). This often involves issuing a legal hold and directing custodians to maintain all relevant documents and data.
Processing and Culling
Collected data is processed to filter out irrelevant or duplicate information. Keyword searches and advanced filtering techniques help narrow extensive data sets to manageable, relevant portions.
REVIEW & ANALYSIS
Our investigative digital forensics teams review the data for relevancy. Analysis tools help highlight critical evidence, uncover patterns, or identify anomalies. This is an area where we outshine the competition.
PRODUCTION
Relevant ESI is converted into an agreed-upon format and safely and securely archived and shared with the opposing party in compliance with legal standards.
TECHNOLOGIES & TOOLS
eDiscovery relies on specialized software to handle data processing, deduplication, and indexing. AI algorithms can assist with predictive coding, speeding up document review.
