OBJECTIVE

BuzzFeed uses the collaboration platform Slack to augment email and its other modes of internal communication. As a result, its legal and IT teams wanted to ensure they were prepared to identify, review, and produce Slack data in response to ediscovery matters and investigations. BuzzFeed needed a tool that could efficiently locate, preserve, and export that data in a review-ready format.

 

KEY ISSUES

  • Quickly and easily search through Slack users and channels to identify relevant information
  • Seamlessly export that information in a reviewable format
  • Confidently state that all relevant data had been identified and considered—demonstrating defensible processes

 

APPROACH

Thanks to Hanzo Hold, BuzzFeed’s legal and IT teams have a tool that they can use to locate all relevant information within their organization’s Slack application in response to any ediscovery or investigation request. Moreover, they can produce that data to outside counsel for further review.
