Our Lips Are Sealed: A Silent Hold Strategy for Investigations

Internal investigations are on the rise due to increasing compliance obligations, whistleblower allegations, and internal complaints. These investigations are time critical without room for error and organizations need to detect and respond to wrongdoing and mitigate risks.
Because many internal investigations deal with potential employee misconduct or highly sensitive issues, it is important to manage each matter with discretion and caution – and do so defensibly. Taking immediate preservation steps is critical to avoid consequences of a bad actor aiming to destroy potentially incriminating information before it can be collected.
That is where a silent hold comes into play. A silent hold allows the legal and investigative team to preserve and collect custodian data without ever alerting the employee. Once a silent hold is issued by the legal team, preservation activities can occur without tipping off the custodian of the investigation.

Join us for an engaging session focused on OpenText Legal Hold, a simple yet powerful cloud-based offering that helps centralize and automate the legal hold management process and workflows. Learn when, why, and how to easily implement a silent hold workflow to preserve critical data to support your investigations.
