Takeaway: In today’s digital world, keeping your data safe is more important than ever—especially in eDiscovery, where sensitive legal documents and confidential information are constantly exchanged. A single data breach can mean serious consequences, from legal troubles and fines to reputational damage and financial losses. That’s why using a secure eDiscovery platform like GoldFynch isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. Let’s dive into why data security in eDiscovery is so important and how GoldFynch helps safeguard your information.

Why Data Security in eDiscovery Matters

Legal professionals handle confidential data—client records, corporate secrets, financial details, and privileged attorney-client communications. If this information gets into the wrong hands, it can cause massive problems:

  • Legal and compliance issues: Data breaches can lead to violations of laws like GDPR, HIPAA, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), resulting in hefty fines.
  • Loss of client trust: If a firm can’t keep sensitive information secure, clients will think twice before working with them.
  • Financial fallout: Dealing with a data breach is expensive, from legal fees to regulatory fines and damage control.
  • Case integrity risks: Unauthorized access to case data can lead to tampering, loss of privileged information, and even unfair legal proceedings.

GoldFynch takes security seriously, using multiple layers of protection to keep your data safe throughout the eDiscovery process. Let’s discover how GoldFynch keeps your data safe:

1. Role-based case sharing: Controlled access to sensitive data

One of the fundamental principles of data security is restricting access to only those who need it. GoldFynch allows you to assign specific roles and permissions to users when sharing a case, ensuring restricted access to data and the ability to perform particular tasks on the data. Why this matters:

  • Granular control: Assign different access levels (Admin, Reviewer, Viewer) based on user roles.
  • Less risk of data deletion: Only authorized users can delete documents.
  • Secure collaboration: Work with teammates and outside parties without sacrificing security.

2. Secure FTP uploads: Collect files without granting case access

Need to get data from a third party but don’t want to give them full case access? GoldFynch’s secure FTP upload service lets them upload files safely without seeing any case details. Why it’s a game-changer:

  • No unnecessary access: Third parties can upload files without viewing or editing case data.
  • Easier large file transfers: Send and receive big data sets without security concerns.
  • Data integrity stays intact: Reduces risks of corruption or accidental changes.

3. Two-factor authentication (2FA): Extra protection for your account

Passwords alone aren’t enough to keep hackers out. GoldFynch provides multi-factor authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of security to every login. How MFA protects you:

  • Double verification: Users must enter a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to their registered device or use the generated on the selected Authenticator app to log in.
  • Blocks unauthorized logins: Even if someone steals a password, they can’t get in without the second factor.
  • Meets compliance standards: Many legal regulations now require MFA as a best practice for security.

4. Secure production sharing: Share only what’s necessary

Sharing eDiscovery productions with opposing counsel or other parties requires precision and control. GoldFynch makes secure production sharing simple, ensuring you share only what’s needed—nothing more. GoldFynch’s smart sharing features:

  • Selective sharing: Choose specific files and create productions with them before sending.
  • Access controls: Restrict how and when recipients can access shared data.
  • Audit logs: Tracks who accessed shared files and when.

GoldFynch is a cloud-based eDiscovery solution designed with security at its core.

Here’s why legal professionals trust it:

  • End-to-end encryption: Keeps data secure during transfers and storage.
  • Compliance with legal standards: Meets security requirements for industry regulations.
  • User-friendly security features: Advanced security without a steep learning curve.

Data security isn’t optional in eDiscovery—it’s a must.

One slip-up can have serious consequences, so using a platform that prioritizes security is crucial. GoldFynch’s role-based case sharing, secure FTP uploads, two-factor authentication, and secure production sharing provide the protection you need to keep your sensitive legal data safe.

And if you do cross 3GB, your plan upgrades automatically and you’ll be charged for only the time spent on each plan. That’s the beauty of prorated pricing.
  • Access it from anywhere. And 24/7. All your files are backed up and secure in the Cloud.
