OpenText Information Assurance

OpenText™ Information Assurance is a complete and scalable solution that identifies, collects, and preserves electronically stored information (ESI) for litigation, compliance, and regulatory requests.

Key features and functions include:

API-based workflow integration
Leverages collection APIs to collect, process, and deliver ESI from potentially thousands of custodians, automating functions such as creating a case, generating a custodian list, and creating a collection job.

Cloud platform coverage
Collects electronically stored information from platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Slack, whether on or off the network, while preserving file structure and metadata.

Legal hold management
Notifies custodians who may be party to a litigation matter and executes legal holds with the aim of reducing spoliation and sanction risk.

Pre-collection scoping
Includes testing and analysis tools intended to identify relevant data before collection, reducing overcollection.

Forensic data preservation
Supports digital evidence preservation and forensic data collection using formats such as LEF and E01.

Scalable review interface
Provides a web-based interface for browsing large evidence sets collected from various ESI sources.

Chain of custody logging
Logs, hashes, and time-stamps every collection action, from capture to handoff, to support a defensible audit trail.

Automated discovery templates
Provides reusable templates intended to apply standard workflows across cases and teams.

The platform integrates with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, case management, and legal hold systems via API, and is available with add-on modules including OpenText Mobile Investigator and OpenText Endpoint Investigator for extended digital forensic and incident-response capabilities.

This solution was formerly known as EnCase. It was originally developed by Guidance Software, which was acquired by OpenText in 2017.
