Are You Worried about Company Misdeeds? Try e-Discovery.

Is one of your employees being stalked at work? Worried about proving a sexual harassment case? Suspicious of an employee running a side gig on company time? Your call data records (CDR) contain a goldmine of information that may help you resolve these burning questions.

Since CDR have existed, Human Resource and Legal departments have searched these records to gather evidence and provide proof of wrongdoing or innocence. These searches are key to processes known as digital forensic investigation and e-discovery.

e-Discovery and Digital Forensics Defined

Digital forensics and e-discovery are the collection and analysis of digital data. The process involves identifying, collecting, processing, preserving, reviewing, analyzing and reporting on electronically-stored information (ESI).

e-Discovery involves easily-retrievable data, such as contained in your CDR. Digital forensics investigations dig deeper into harder-to-find and harder-to-gather ESI.

What Misdeeds Can e-Discovery Uncover?

Need supporting evidence for suspected misconduct?

Forensic investigations and e-discovery have helped identify corporate and organizational misdeeds such as misuse of company assets or running an outside business (legal or illegal) from the office.

These processes have also aided in identifying and proving sexual harassment cases, as well as the stalking of an employee by a spouse or domestic partner.

How Does CDR Help with e-Discovery?

When telecom assets are used in nefarious activities, they leave a trail, a trail which can be followed. CDR is instrumental in e-discovery for tracing calls through these pathways.

For example, when tracking station activity such as internal, incoming or outgoing PSTN calls, CDR provides information on specific internal and external dialed digits or dial patterns. These dial patterns include calls such as 911 or international calls. CDR also provides data on outside numbers calling in.

In short, e-discovery into CDR allows you to find out who called who, internally or externally, and when.
