EDRM and Trusted Partner Exterro Launch Study on Legal Holds in Internal Investigation

In the spirit of educating the forensics community on best practices and trends, EDRM and our Guardian Trusted Partner, Exterro, are conducting a?short study around our community’s forensic processes.?Responses will help us create a benchmarking report on how forensic investigation teams are managing their workloads. With internal investigations sometimes conducted in a covert manner, the issue of to whom, how and whether to issue a formal hold are front and center.

Completing the study should only take 4 minutes. As a thank you for participants’ time and input, Exterro will make a $20 donation to?the Ukrainian Red Cross, World Central Kitchen, or the GlobalGiving Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Participants choose from these three charities at the end of the survey.In addition, participants will get full and early access to all the survey results. Non-participants will only be able to see the published and edited version of the report.

**Answers will remain anonymous when published and all published statistics will be reported in combination with other participants’ responses.?
