The general counsel at an organization has received written notice of upcoming litigation. The general counsel has issued a legal records hold. Which of the following actions should the organization take to comply with the request?
A.
Preserve all communication matching the requested search terms.
B.
Block communication with the customer while litigation is ongoing.
C.
Require employees to be trained on legal record holds.
D.
Request that all users do not delete any files.
o Legal record hold: also known as a litigation hold, is a directive issued by an organization's legal counsel to preserve all potentially relevant information when litigation is pending or reasonably anticipated. This means that employees should not delete any files, emails, documents, or other data that could be considered relevant to the lawsuit. The hold ensures that all relevant information is available for discovery if requested by the opposing party.
o Why other options are incorrect:
o A. Preserve all communication matching the requested search terms: While preserving relevant communication is a key part of a legal hold, the hold usually encompasses more than just communications matching specific search terms. The request should provide a broader scope of what needs to be preserved, and the search terms might be a starting point for identifying potentially relevant information.
A - Preserve all communication matching the requested search terms: D is your only other related option but it's far too broad. Preserving all communications covers option D and much more.
When a legal records hold is issued, the organization is legally required to preserve all relevant data and communications that could be pertinent to the litigation. This includes emails, documents, and any other form of communication that matches the specified search terms provided by the legal counsel. This ensures that evidence is not tampered with, lost, or destroyed and can be provided during the discovery phase of the litigation process.
For the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+), the action the organization should take to comply with the legal records hold request is:
A. Preserve all communication matching the requested search terms.
When a legal records hold is issued in anticipation of litigation, it's critical to preserve all relevant communication and documentation that may be pertinent to the case. This includes preserving communication matching the requested search terms to ensure that all relevant information is retained for potential legal proceedings.
