A legal hold or litigation hold is passed in anticipation of litigation to preserve all forms of relevant information. It is a directive passed to protect the information and once the legal matter is resolved or when the information is no longer needed the litigation hold is released. Releasing the hold is a critical process itself and needs to be handled properly to ensure all information complies with the regulatory requirements. Approving the legal hold release is reviewed by legal teams, IT departments, and compliance officers to ensure the hold is released appropriately and that data retention and destruction policies are followed. When this approval process is handled manually it can lead to potential compliance and data management issues. Having an automated system like Cflow can ensure the legal hold release is processed accurately. Cflow enables organizations to handle the approval process quite effectively and ensures the process is complete from end to end.
