Organizations are subject to increasingly strict data regulations and must manage information with keen attention to privacy, security and compliance. This is especially true and compounded for those with any international presence. The brightest minds are working every day to address these challenges, but success requires insight from many perspectives

Utilizing Information Governance Software for eDiscovery Workflows.

Many organizations are now utilizing information governance (IG/GRC)) tools to reduce the cost and complexity of eDiscovery. Through a comprehensive IG platform such as 4iG, organizations can gain real-time insights into their data and improve their ability to respond quickly and appropriately when faced with litigation or regulatory compliance requests.

What is Electronic Discovery?

Simply put, eDiscovery is the process of gathering electronically stored information (ESI), to comply with legal obligations or use it as evidence in a court case. It involves collecting, preserving, processing, reviewing, analyzing, and producing ESI for review by lawyers or other parties involved in a legal action. The purpose of eDiscovery is to enable parties to exchange relevant documents quickly and inexpensively. As such, it has become an essential part of most corporate legal departments. However, despite advances in eDiscovery technologies and the help of legal service providers, conducting discovery remains an expensive undertaking.

The Benefits of Utilizing an Information Governance Platform

An IG platform is designed to provide organizations with complete visibility into their data assets so that they can better assess risk and manage compliance requirements. By leveraging an IG platform for eDiscovery purposes, organizations can gain greater control over their ESI by automating processes such as collection, preservation, and production. This helps ensure that ESI is managed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations while also reducing costs associated with manual document review processes. Additionally, an IG platform can help organizations optimize workflow efficiency through its powerful analytics capabilities that enable them to quickly identify key documents that require review or further investigation. By implementing an innovative IG platform that indexes and acts on data where it’s stored, businesses can simplify their compliance processes while reaping cost-saving benefits. Additionally, no longer having to move information between systems helps reduce the compliance risks and human errors associated with this process.

The Role of Identifying PII, with IG Software, in eDiscovery Workflows

Protecting personal information is essential in an eDiscovery workflow. Information Governance software plays a vital role by helping to accurately identify and redact personal information, such as social security numbers, credit card details, or other Personally Identifiable Information (PII). It helps to protect this sensitive data while still allowing legal teams easy access to potential evidence they need. In addition, Information Governance software can help monitor compliance with guidelines and make sure that data remains secure. With Information Governance providing an extra layer of security on top of eDiscovery workflows, organizations can remain compliant while still successfully uncovering insights from their data.

Conclusion

In today’s digital environment, managing vast amounts of electronically stored information (ESI) has become an integral part of most corporate legal departments’ operations. To ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations while also reducing costs associated with manual document review processes, many organizations are turning to information governance (IG) platforms coupled with electronic discovery (eDiscovery) workflows and automated, intelligent, PII-identification. By using an Information Governance (GRC) software platform with the aforementioned features, companies can gain greater control over their data assets while optimizing workflow efficiencies, all while protecting personal information. When considering an IG software platform, such as 4iG, it is critical to look for these features.

4iG Suite Technology Aims at Closing the Value Gap in Information Governance

CHANTILLY, VA – June 12, 2019 – Infinnium LLC, a software company that develops solutions to improve information management and business decision-making through effective use of the latest artificial intelligence technology, announced today a multimillion-dollar seed investment in the company.

The investment was made by the Sahajanand Group, a technology conglomerate which has historically built successful enterprises based on emerging technologies. The Sahajanand Group of Companies, headquartered in India, is focused on developing pioneering smart technologies to bring groundbreaking solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. The investment in Infinnium recognizes the potential for AI and other data technologies to address growing challenges in data privacy, data protection and regulatory compliance.

“Globally organizations are facing exponential data growth, combined with increasing complexity in security and data privacy. Organizations are not well equipped to derive the financial benefits available from effective information governance, and they continue to face expensive penalties and loss of financial value as long as the IG technology gap exists,” says Bhargav Kotadia, managing director, Sahajanand Group. “We have invested in Infinnium with a long-term outlook. We believe that Infinnium has the strategic vision and groundbreaking AI solutions to lead the coming transformation in information governance and data privacy.”

“We formed Infinnium to address huge risk, cost and compliance issues in the information governance market space. There exists substantially underutilized financial potential for decision support from structured and unstructured, numeric and textual data. Organizations in pursuit of effective information governance are hindered by the huge scale of data, manual efforts, a shortage of knowledge and a lack of specialized technology,” says Hari J. Pandya, co-founder and chief financial officer at Infinnium. “Infinnium is uniquely positioned to bridge those gaps with our sophisticated, simple and unified AI technology platform providing end users full control over information from diverse sources. We are pleased to have the Sahajanand Group endorse our vision and strategy, and we are excited to have them join hands with us with this vital funding.”

Company leaders at Infinnium plan to use the funding to support the final development efforts and market introduction of its 4iG Suite of solutions. The 4iG product suite leverages AI technology to provide visibility across an organization’s data repositories, offering insights into both structured and unstructured data. The 4iG framework allows corporations, law firms and other organizations to identify, analyze and govern information assets in support of business decision-making, data security and regulatory compliance. ObscurePI, a key module of the 4iG Suite, focuses on identification and management of personally identifiable information – a key component of HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, Sarbanes-Oxley, FISMA and other data privacy and compliance regulations.

Interested organizations are invited to visit www.infinnium.com to learn about the 4iG Suite or join a cohort of early release beta testers for ObscurePI.

Enables Control of Data on a Mass Scale, Accelerating IG Compliance and E-Discovery.

Chantilly, VA – August 01, 2019 – Infinnium LLC, a global technology company that develops solutions to improve information governance and business decision-making through effective use of the latest artificial intelligence technology, announced today the release of 4iG Suite for information governance, compliance and e-discovery. Infinnium also announced that it will showcase 4iG and ObscurePI  as part of ILTACON  2019’s StartUp Hub on August 18-22 in Orlando, Florida, at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort.

Since Infinnium’s launch in February 2019, it has gained recognition as a disruptive startup company. Attracting major seed investment, expanding its global IG and GDPR solutions in Europe and winning a spot in ILTACON’s StartUp Hub are just a few major milestones already achieved in this company’s new existence.

4iG uses advanced technology to gain visibility across structured and unstructured enterprise data. Some example data sources include Office365, SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange and File Shares. It is designed to be utilized within the existing digital ecosystem of an enterprise and is available to be deployed on premises, in the cloud or as a hybrid model.

The 4iG platform utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning. It helps find, collect, categorize and illuminate important patterns in data, for example, IP or competitive information, sensitive data such PII and privileged content, as well as people, places, ideas and communications. 4iG is the first end-to-end information governance toolset that includes the ability to search, collect, export, remove, move or encrypt documents as well as redact or anonymize sensitive information within documents.

Included in the suite is the industry’s first ever toolset for redacting native documents of any file type, thus allowing companies to take control over their data and information in a manner that has never been available in the past. When a corporation combines 4iG with the right people, processes and protocols, the result is a successful information governance program.

Nirav Avaiya, CIO of Infinnium, states, “The fundamental problem with data management and information governance lies in understanding where data is, who is accessing it, how it’s being used and the document context. Traditional means of identifying data are generally a laborious process and involve manual review, which we know takes more time and can cause big delays or, even worse, regulatory noncompliance. Our technology provides visibility into enterprise data and allows users to take control and act on their data. Most importantly, it provides intelligence that lets users make quick, defensible decisions and mitigate risks.”

“We leverage the power of AI, machine learning and other modern technologies to glean insights into data. Our mission is to design solutions that allow humans to make faster and smarter decisions based on measurable information. Today’s business and legal environments are grappling with the rate at which data is being created, and we provide solutions that prove to be advantageous to businesses across the globe,” claims Hitesh Zinzuwadia, Infinnium’s chief data scientist.

Infinnium has partnered with Relativity and integrated 4iG with the Relativity review platform, thus allowing review teams to auto-redact privileged or sensitive information in all native file types – shattering workflow barriers during the discovery process.

Prospective clients and partners are invited to contact the Infinnium team to discuss market initiatives and partnership potential in IG, e-discovery, regulatory compliance and data privacy. Inquiries may be directed to [email protected].

Forensic Risk Alliance (FRA) and Infinnium roll out 4iG technology across Europe

The AI-based technology is an industry-first information governance platform set to
transform the privacy compliance and remote data collection markets

12 th May, LONDON: Forensic Risk Alliance (FRA) a forensic accounting, electronic data and technology solutions and compliance consultancy firm, has partnered with technology company Infinnium to roll out its award-winning AI technology, 4iG, across Europe. FRA has exclusive rights throughout the EU for the Infinnium 4iG suite.

FRA is continuously researching and developing customized technology solutions for clients rather than the traditional offerings in the industry for the identification, collection, processing, searching and organization and review of data.

4iG is an AI-based, patented information governance platform which is set to revolutionise both privacy compliance, data organization and remote data collection. For any organisation facing compliance, litigation or investigations needs, the technology will save time and costs and protect companies from exporting non-responsive and sensitive data to third parties, but, more importantly, allows companies to have complete control and transparency of their data immediately after identification. 4iG provides on-demand instant reporting of data sets before any traditional processing, searching and export is required.

The 4iG platform connects with various enterprise data sources, mines this data and creates valuable information and electronic story board reporting. This reporting is unique to the industry because of the detailed insights into people, places, events, concepts, as well as sensitive information that is prevalent within an enterprise – allowing business users to effectively implement data governance strategies.

The technology has been trialled in a number of companies with cross-border data transfer requirements and feedback has been extremely positive. The testing was informed by some of the most common problems clients face and, in the course of these trials, FRA and Infinnium have perfected a solution to those challenges utilising their combined expertise and 4iG as the enabling technology to deliver cost-effective, risk-mitigating results. The automotive, defence and aerospace, financial services, healthcare and life sciences sectors are among those most likely to benefit from this innovative approach.

FRA and Infinnium have created best practice playbooks detailing workflows for Compliance, Litigation and Investigations, which are now being rolled out to clients in the EU. These sets of scenario-based strategies blend industry-leading best practices and proactive approaches to address data governance leveraging modern technologies, including AI. The main purpose of these playbooks and workflows is to address clients’ concerns around data and privacy compliance.

4iG has the ability and capacity to support remote collections from multiple data sources simultaneously, including Office365, MS Exchange, G-Suite, FileShare and Sharepoint. It supports all known file formats and will work across multiple machines with petabyte-scale data.scale. 4iG can automatically redact any PII or other search terms in the collection of data from its source (multiple devices, computers). For example, it can be instructed to find and redact all social security numbers or medical records.

This first kind of capability is transformational for organisations to operationalise compliance with GDPR as well as other data privacy and compliance regulations.

As we approach the second anniversary of GDPR coming in to force, data security is a key area of focus for all organisations and boards of directors. Compliance regulations are increasingly prevalent and stringent, resulting in companies having to spend considerable resources to avoid substantial fines. Being able to respond in a timely manner is a key factor in being compliant with GDPR requests. Companies need to be prepared to effectively and efficiently respond to such requests. Not being compliant or losing PII, if the right precautionary measures are not in place, can seriously adversely affect a company’s reputation.

The volume of data is also growing exponentially which makes understanding of what is contained within an organisation’s data more difficult and time-consuming. Advanced AI-based technologies such as 4iG offer the ability for users to quickly gain insights into their data.

Britt Endemann, Global Co-Head of Data Governance, FRA, said: “I am delighted about the playbooks that the two teams have put together and am looking forward to taking these solutions to our clients in the EU. These playbooks are part of our FRA Technology Toolkit and will deliver repeatable and defensible solutions that are cost effective, enabling our clients to focus on their core business. We have worked to ensure a non-traditional approach to data management and assisting clients with identifyng data sets and understanding their business. More than ever, clients are concerned about understanding their data infrastructure because of GDPR and cross border investigations and litigation, but also, timing and costs are sensitive issues in relation to simply performing last minute “grab and go’s” of company data. Companies have employee agreements and need to protect trade secrets before exporting data from their environment to any third party and under GDPR they must have data organized and accessible.

I have experienced first-hand the problems and challenges clients face and am certain 4iG will help solve them, making it more effective to deal with data and save costs at the same time. I’m looking forward to introducing our clients to this technology as part of our FRA Technology Toolkit offering.”

Harsh Sutaria, Co-Founder, Infinnium added: “We are seeing a growing need for the right technology to address needs surrounding privacy, compliance and eDiscovery in the EU market and are delighted to be partnering with FRA to take our product to market. With FRA’s expertise, thought leadership, market presence and people combined with our technology, we have the ideal partnership to deliver customers transformational benefits.”

Get rid of the ROT and reduce your DUMB

How much ROT is in your company? What is ROT? Well, to put it plainly, ROT (Redundant, Outdated, Trivial data) is just gross. Really, I do mean gross – the word or acronym as it is, not only sounds gross it refers to the gross amount of data of no business or legal value retained by organizations. Here’s another new acronym for you – DUMB. ROT and DUMB, not exactly the most pleasant-sounding way to start a blog, is it? But wait, if you find that unpleasant then *spoiler alert*, the following statement based off a recent AIIM report will really strike a nerve – Large companies could be spending an excess of $30 MILLION DOLLARS per year managing ROT! Here’s the point – Reduce the ROT and you’ll reduce the DUMB.

A few months back, we had the pleasure of presenting to an audience of DPO’s, Compliance and Data Protection officers in London. During our chat we introduced the DUMB acronym for the first time. And it clearly struck a chord. The reactions across the room were eye-opening. Heads nodded, faces smiled; we got some chuckles and even heard a few proclamations of YES!

What is the DUMB?

Think of the number of duplicate contracts & documents as well as outdated information that accumulates across an organization. All this information was created from current and former employees, M&A activities, HR policies, records and, well, you get the idea. And of course, this data is never centralized onto one, nicely organized location – no, it’s across network servers, SharePoint, emails, desktops, mobile devices, geographies and increasingly today, cloud platforms such as Slack, Salesforce, etc. All of this…makes up your Data Under Management Budget. Yes, the DUMB.

Our company has a lot of data we don’t need, so what?

Let’s be clear, there are numerous risks to a company holding on to ROT. Any one of them can be very costly. For one, add up the costs for all the excessive infrastructure – storage, maintenance, software licensing, applications and so on. While we are at it, let’s also consider those costly business analytics tools. The reliability (and ROI) of these tools depends on the quality of the data feeding into them – excessive outdated (bad) data will most certainly impact these tools. The impact on the analytics tools could be devastating to the value of the information derived and its negative outcomes across critical business systems. If these tools are being automated, that means even less oversight on the bad data driving business decisions.

Then there’s the heightened risk of breach (and data exfiltration) and the associated liability risk(s) associated with the loss of PII/PCI/PHI, as well as company trade secrets. These are just two quick examples – there are others – of the risks and costs raised within an organization that should be evaluated, and not ignored.

There is a deeper gaze being placed on compliance today, giving way to new emerging roles in data protection and information governance. It’s not surprising to us at Infinnium that more and more conversations are focused on this area. And this is why we built 4iG. In fact, recent surveys like the Global Information Governance Survey 2022-23 (Robert F. Smallwood and InfoGov World Media) uncovers the significant shifts over the past year among the top 10 IG project focus areas within organizations – with reactive strategies such as Legal and eDiscovery shifting downwards, whereas proactive strategies like data privacy, protection and governance are leaping towards the top.

Conclusion

The more ROT an organization houses unnecessarily, the more risks and costs you are exposed to daily.
The ability to have clearer insights into what you have, where it’s located, and manage that data in place is a gigantic first step towards reducing the DUMB. Infinnium’s 4iG software platform is purposed built to solve these challenges. 4iG can deal with your data where it exists versus putting some or all of it into yet another location. After all, when you’re trying to reduce ROT, the last thing you should want is to duplicate that data! 4iG is the smart solution for identifying and investigating ROT, reducing it intelligently and managing it based on the compliance rules you require going forward. The result will be far less DUMB than your current situation.
