A Smart Service from CCL: Clever solutions to everyday data challenges

Our Smart Investigations service is designed as a turnkey solution for organisations needing to get rapid insight into an issue through thorough data retrieval and analysis.

It allows for efficient data triage to uncover potentially critical evidence - a primary use case would be an employee or ex-employee suspected of wrong-doing or potential contract or covenant breach.

We collect and process the data and conduct an end-to-end investigation based on formal forensic standards, reporting back to the client to inform their decision making. At its simplest, it's about making a known out of an unknown.

The focus is on minimising cost and time to results, while safeguarding the evidential integrity of the data and the defensibility of the process.

As with all of CCLs Smart Services, Smart Investigations is offered as a standard, fixed-price offering so clients know exactly what they are getting each and every time.

A number of flexible add-ons - such as forensic collections, managed review, full EDRM* - are also available where a more bespoke or end-to-end service is required.

* EDRM = eDiscovery Reference Model
