Remediation

Remediation, in the context of digital forensics, refers to the process of identifying and removing protected or confidential information identified during forensic analysis. This often occurs in cases involving departing employees who are accused of taking proprietary information via a digital medium such as a laptop or flash drive. Utilizing best practices in identifying and deleting unauthorized files, documents, data, or other digital evidence, Veracity Forensics is able to defensibly remove intellectual property from places it should not be.

In some instances, Veracity Forensics is hired as a neutral third party to perform the remediation after two sides agree on the search terms and settlement procedures. The scale of remediation could vary from a single folder on a flash drive, to thousands of files spread across multiple devices, to wiping entire servers of confidential information identified as contraband. The Veracity Forensics team will help identify and understand the scope of remediation and efficiently complete the process.

Veracity Forensics also provides a prophylactic or pre-litigation remediation service to clients in transition from one employer to another.  This proactive approach helps the transitioning employee demonstrate good faith and a reasonable effort to return confidential information to their previous employer.  Growing companies also leverage Veracity Forensics remediation service when bringing on new employees from within similar industries to reduce the risk of future litigation.
