Whilst we are not yet in sight of the end of e-mail and word documents as the primary source of discoverable data, increasing volumes of potentially discoverable information lie on smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.
For reasons which are difficult to understand – perhaps it is because the devices themselves are small – lawyers often overlook such data whilst gathering information, whether for civil litigation or for regulatory purposes or for internal investigations. The police, security forces and government agencies, however, have long been alert to the significance of such data.
Nuix has now complemented its eDiscovery processing and analysis tools with a partnership with Cellebrite, which specialises in mobile data extraction, decoding and analysis.
