Cloud Collections
Cloud Collection without the Chaos.
Data collection doesn’t have to be messy, slow, or stressful.
Rely on our Email, Collaboration, and SaaS Data Sources where Efficiency is baked into Every Step.
We make cloud collections clean, fast, and defensible, from the very first click. Everything lands in one place. Everything stays organized. Everything moves forward.
Faster collections. Cleaner datasets. Fewer headaches before review even starts.
This Is Efficiency By Design, Not By Luck.
Built for Real-World Litigation
Law firms. Corporations. Government agencies. If a lawsuit exists, the data exists, and we know how to get it. Whether it’s one custodian or hundreds, one system or dozens, we scale collections without slowing you down or cutting corners.
Cloud Sources We Collect From
We organize collections by tiers, based on how commonly they appear in modern matters. Simple. Logical. Predictable.
Tier 1: Core Cloud Collections
The essentials. The everyday. The must-haves.
This is where almost every matter starts. The everyday tools people live in. The data no one can avoid. We uncover:
Microsoft 365 environments end to end
✓ Outlook email, calendars, contacts
✓ OneDrive for Business
✓ SharePoint Online, and
✓ Microsoft Teams chats, channels, meetings, and files.
Google Workspace
The go-to alternative.
✓ Gmail: Email at scale, captured cleanly. Conversations, attachments, and metadata. No gaps, no guesswork.
✓ Google Drive: Docs, sheets, slides, and files pulled together fast. Version history and sharing context stay intact.
✓ Google Chat & Meet (messages, recordings, transcripts): Chats and meetings don’t disappear here. Messages, recordings, and transcripts land review-ready and defensible.
Slack
Where conversations really happen.
✓ DMs, channels, threads: Every message matters. We capture conversations exactly as they happened, across people and channels.
✓ Edits, reactions, and shared files: Context counts. Revisions, emojis, and file drops stay connected to the story.
Meetings & Conferencing
Because meetings leave a trail.
✓ Zoom: From quick syncs to critical calls, chats and recordings are captured cleanly and on demand.
✓ Webex: Enterprise meetings, preserved with precision. Audio, video, and chat stay aligned.
✓ Microsoft Teams meetings: Meetings, messages, and shared files collected as one complete record.
✓ Chats, recordings, transcripts, participant logs: Who said what. When they said it. Who was there. All preserved, all searchable.
Traditional & Legacy Email
Old systems. New rules. We handle both.
✓ Outlook PST/OST: Local files, fully unlocked. Emails and attachments extracted without breaking structure.
✓ Apple Mail: Personal or corporate, Mac-based email collected cleanly and defensibly.
✓ Android & Yahoo Mail: Mobile and web-based inboxes pulled together fast, without data loss.
✓ On-prem Exchange & Lotus Notes: Legacy environments, handled with care. No shortcuts. No compromises.
✓ Third-party archives (Mimecast, Proofpoint, Smarsh): Archived doesn’t mean unreachable. We collect directly from the source with full integrity.
Tier 2: Common Enterprise Systems
This tier holds the operational backbone of the business. Where work gets done. Where decisions leave a trail. It includes:
✓ File shares and endpoints like local PCs and Macs, servers, NAS devices, and removable media.
✓ Cloud repositories such as Box, Dropbox, and Egnyte live here, alongside knowledge and collaboration platforms like SharePoint sites, Confluence, and Notion.
✓ Project and task management tools fall into this tier too, including Jira, Asana, Trello, and Monday.com.
✓ CRM platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics are part of the mix, capturing communications and activity tied to revenue and relationships.
✓ IT and support systems round it out, with ServiceNow, Zendesk, and Freshdesk bringing ticket history and operational context into scope.
Tier 3: Modern Messaging & Social
This is the fast lane. High volume. High velocity. High risk if ignored.
Tier 3 focuses on modern messaging and social platforms that move faster than policy updates. It includes:
✓ Mobile and BYOD communications such as SMS and MMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and WeChat.
✓ Social and community platforms live here too, including Workplace by Meta, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), TikTok, Discord, and Reddit.
✓ Collaborative whiteboards and note-taking tools round out this tier, with platforms like Miro, Lucid, Microsoft Whiteboard, OneNote, and Evernote capturing ideas, comments, and decisions that rarely exist anywhere else.
Tier 4: Regulated & Specialized Systems
This tier is where compliance meets complexity. High-value data. High scrutiny. Zero room for mistakes. It includes:
✓ Regulated financial communications platforms like Bloomberg, Symphony, Refinitiv, and Movius, where every message can carry regulatory weight.
✓ Enterprise HR, finance, and ERP systems live here too, including Workday, SAP, and Oracle Cloud.
✓ Legal document management platforms such as iManage, NetDocuments, and OpenText are part of this tier, keeping privileged and sensitive content tightly controlled.
✓ We also collect from industry-specific systems like Epic for healthcare, Procore for construction, Autodesk design platforms, and LIMS environments in life sciences, because specialized data still needs defensible collection.
Tier 5: System & Backup Sources
This tier goes beneath the surface. It’s where systems talk, logs tell stories, and backups quietly hold critical answers.
✓ Structured database exports like SQL, Postgres, and MongoDB fall into this category.
✓ System and audit logs live here too, including Microsoft 365 Audit, Splunk, Sentinel, and Okta logs that track activity and access over time.
✓ Enterprise archives and backups such as Enterprise Vault, Veritas Alta, Commvault, and Veeam are included, along with disaster recovery and cold storage environments like AWS Glacier and Azure Backup.
✓ In edge-case matters, this tier can also include IoT data, CCTV footage, and physical access logs when digital trails extend beyond screens.
Tier 6: Personal, Legacy & Low-Frequency Sources
This tier covers the data everyone forgets, until it suddenly matters.
✓ Personal cloud accounts like iCloud Drive, personal Google Drive, and Dropbox fall here, along with consumer email and device data.
✓ Legacy systems and removable media are part of the mix too, including USB drives, CDs, home computers, and FTP or SFTP repositories.
✓ This tier also captures ephemeral and auto-delete messaging platforms such as Snapchat, Wickr, Telegram secret chats, and disappearing Signal messages, data that’s fleeting by design, but discoverable when handled correctly.
