RenewData Expands Operations with Processing Center Built to Safeguard Critical Electronic Evidence

State-of-the-Art Facility is First to Meet Industry Need of Protecting Evidence from Theft, Fire and Loss

RenewData, the leading technology provider of electronic evidence services for law firms and corporations, has opened expanded facilities that include a new, state-of-the-art electronic evidence processing center. The evidence processing center was specifically designed to ensure that critical, one-of-a-kind electronic evidence is securely and safely managed against theft, fire and loss. This new facility is the result of RenewData’s rapid growth and the accelerated need for electronic evidence discovery services in litigation and government investigations. RenewData’s new processing facility features multiple layers of security and safety devices to protect the integrity of the critical data. ADT Security Services, Inc., a part of Tyco Fire & Security, assisted with the security system design, oversaw equipment installation and will provide ongoing system monitoring. “RenewData has implemented government grade physical security in their new facility,” said Bob Dale, vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing for ADT Security Services. “This is a comprehensive security program designed to provide the highest level of safety and security for customers.” The processing center features include:

• Government level physical security
• Multi-zoned, role-based security access system using both photo ID keycards and finger print biometrics
• Video cameras with digital recording throughout the facility to monitor movement and activity
• Man trap access to the production facility (a two door entry room where the first door must be closed before the security system will allow the second door to open)
• Walls composed of either concrete or steel plating
• Motion sensors above and below the floor
• Vibration sensors in the walls
• Redundant power and cooling systems
• Chemical dry fire suppression system
• Secure cage for evidence receiving and chain-of-custody documentation
• Secure cage for work-in-progress storage
• Secure cage within processing center for highly-sensitive evidence processing
• 7x24 facility monitoring by ADT Security Services

RenewData provides the electronic evidence and legal services including the extraction and processing of corporate email and user files from backup systems for use as evidence. “This type of evidence safeguarding is increasingly important for today’s corporations and RenewData’s addressing of this need, positions us at the forefront of an emerging industry,” said RenewData’s CEO, Bob Gomes. “The facility was designed using the latest, security system technology and to our knowledge is the only one with this level of protection in the industry.” The expanding use of digital communication and the rise in corporate litigation and SEC investigations have resulted in the increased need for electronic evidence discovery services, and as with any evidence used in court proceedings, the integrity, safety, and security of the evidence is crucial and may be relevant to the outcome of the proceedings.
