Preservation / Collection

For electronic data preservation, we use forensic tools to ensure evidence by copying data in an unalterable image format, including unused areas (deleted areas). In addition, during the work, we will take photographs, record logs, etc., and create a certificate (Evidence Control and Chain of Custody Document) that guarantees that the data is the same as the original copy. Paper documents will be scanned and digitized.

Processing

The self-developed software "KIBIT Automator" can identify difficult division positions of multi-byte characters represented by Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc., which are difficult to handle with overseas tools, special character codes unique to Japan, and multiple mailers. It is possible to use both at the same time and to correspond to mailers unique to Asia.In addition, since the software is developed in-house, we can flexibly support customer-developed systems and special data. * A character code is a byte representation (code) assigned to each character in order to use it on a computer.Compared to English, Japanese needs to handle more character information such as kanji, hiragana, and kana, so various character codes are used depending on the application.If the tool cannot correctly recognize the character code, the characters will not be displayed correctly, or a phenomenon called garbled characters will occur.Tools developed in Europe and the United States often do not support the character codes of Asian languages ​​such as Japanese, so garbled characters may occur and it may not be possible to extract the necessary information.

It is an important process to reduce the number of documents to be reviewed in order to reduce the cost of document review, which is said to account for about 70% of the cost of eDiscovery.
The technology and know-how cultivated since the days of UBIC are also indispensable for selecting search keywords to extract the data necessary for litigation from a large amount of electronic data.
Our consultants and engineers will support you.

If you choose our in-house developed software "KIBIT Automator" as your platform, we can provide you with a "review heat map" that allows lawyers to compare the TAR (Technology Assisted Review) score with the reviewer's tagging results in order to control the quality of the review.
