What is Social Discovery?
Product Description
X1 Social Discovery™ is the industry’s first integrated solution specifically designed to enable eDiscovery and computer forensics professionals to quickly find social and web-based information for use in corporate compliance, litigations and investigations. X1 Social Discovery provides a powerful platform to collect, authenticate, search, review and produce electronically stored information (ESI) from popular social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and YouTube. Built upon the industry-leading and patented X1 search technology and designed by experienced eDiscovery practitioners, searches are instantaneous and comprehensive. Searches can be performed across multiple accounts and sources, including linked content, which often constitutes the most relevant aspect of individual social media streams. Unlike archiving and image capture solutions, X1 Social Discovery provides for case-centric litigation workflow from search and collection through production in searchable native format, while preserving critical metadata not possible through image capture, printouts, or raw data archival of RSS feeds. It is important to understand that X1 Social Discovery cannot be used to bypass or violate the privacy or security settings of any social network, website or webmail account.
X1 Social Discovery collects and indexes social streams relevant to a litigation or investigation and provides for powerful fast-as-you-type search, link expansion, live previews, and instant search of the content behind embedded links. Existing data is collected and all new content for identified streams can be ingested continuously. Relevant data can be exported directly to a Concordance load file and then loaded into the leading attorney review platform Relativity®, or to other common load file formats. X1 Social Discovery accesses social media sites in read-only mode to ensure evidence is not altered by the examiner. An MD5 hash is generated for all ingested social media items, metadata is captured and preserved at all times, and integrated logging and reporting is generated to support authentication and chain of custody consistent with best practices. We believe that X1 Social Discovery represents best practices to perform litigation holds for or otherwise capture Social Media content and to search and manage the content in a case-centric manner.
