MINNEAPOLIS, January 28, 2020 – Setting the global standards for ediscovery, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is pleased to announce Canopy Software, the pioneer of “Protected-Data Discovery” and the leading data mining and breach review software developer, as the newest “Preserver” level partner.
Among the EDRM opportunities and resources available to Canopy and other partners are the ability to connect, network and contribute via EDRM projects and events, share their service and product offerings and enhance brand awareness to a global community comprised of the most knowledgeable, multidisciplinary professionals contributing to enhance ediscovery, privacy, security and information governance frameworks, processes and standards.
“The EDRM has been the perennial guidepost for litigation professionals surmounting the very specific hurdles that emerged as a result of the surge in electronically stored information, the realities of Big Data, and the subsequent initiatives around proactive information management and governance,” said Ralph Nickl, former eDiscovery software executive and current CEO of Canopy data breach software. “In the wake of the surge in data breaches and personal data running rampant, we’re pleased to partner with EDRM to provide guidance to those tasked with navigating the specific pressures arising from prolific PII/PHI, data privacy legislation, and the need to quickly alert affected-individuals of their risks. While tangentially related to traditional discovery, new approaches are required to handle protected data. Together, we can share new information and methodologies with the market.”
This partnership allows Canopy access to the EDRM community, comprised of 33% corporations, 30% law firms and 23% software and service providers.
“Canopy, founded by our former colleagues Ralph Nickl, CEO and Oran Sears, chief product and technology officer, has developed a compelling “Protected-Data Discovery” application for teams responding to data breaches, said Mary Mack. “We are thankful for the confidence they have shown by their support of our EDRM global community with a three year commitment.”
