Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Venio's eDiscovery platform
What's included in the checklist?
The checklist covers 8 key areas: trigger identification, custodian identification, hold notice content, documentation, IT integration, compliance monitoring, modifications & termination, and common pitfalls. It includes 60+ specific defensibility items you can check off.
How long does it take to complete?
Most organizations can complete the entire checklist in 5-10 minutes. It’s designed as a quick assessment tool, not a detailed audit. Simply check off items that apply to your process and calculate your defensibility score.
Is this checklist specific to my industry?
The checklist applies to legal holds across all industries. It’s based on federal rules (FRCP 37(e)) and best practices that apply universally. However, specific regulatory requirements (HIPAA, GLBA, etc.) may add additional requirements for your industry.
Can we use this for multiple legal matters?
Absolutely. You can print multiple copies and use the same checklist to audit different legal holds across your organization. Many organizations also create one master checklist for their standard process and apply it to all new matters.
What should we do if we score poorly?
If your score is below 75%, we recommend consulting with eDiscovery counsel and considering legal hold management software. Contact Venio for a free consultation on strengthening your process. Most organizations can implement significant improvements within 30-60 days.
