The Widening Window of Social Media Risk
"The proliferation of social networks coupled with the challenges of monitoring and managing employee social network usage in the workplace has created a widening window of risk for corporations as they seek to consider the impact of social media based electronically stored information (ESI)," shared Sharon D. Nelson, Esq., social media legal expert and president of Sensei Enterprises. "When one considers that Facebook now surpasses Google in terms of website visits, smart corporations are looking for smart services to help them mitigate potential social media risk," highlighted John W. Simek, computer forensics expert and vice president of Sensei Enterprises.
"The new SM-ART service developed jointly between Sensei and Applied Discovery meets a demonstrated and growing need by providing corporations the expertise they need to make proper and proactive social media centric e-discovery decisions," added Virginia P. Henschel, vice president of electronic discovery affairs at Applied Discovery. "This service, coupled with the complete portfolio of traditional electronic discovery services available from Applied Discovery, allows clients to efficiently maximize their e-discovery capabilities from data identification to discovery production without having to increase the number of consultants or providers they engage."
A SM-ART Approach to Social Media
As part of a complete suite of electronic discovery services, the Social Media - Assessment, Risks, and Techniques (SM-ART) offering is comprised of three key modules that include:
Assessment Module
-- Organizational social media landscape overview
-- Organizational social media actual usage map
-- Organizational assessment report on social media
Risks Module
-- Internal policy and procedure compliance risks
-- External regulatory compliance risks
-- Social media risk exposure report
Techniques Module
-- Social media policy and best practice recommendations
-- Social media proactive management and monitoring recommendations
-- Social media reactive collection process and tool recommendations
Additionally, in situations requiring the actual preservation and collection of unconventional unstructured ESI from leading social media platforms, Applied Discovery and Sensei can provide forensic collection recommendations and resources to enable clients to defensibly preserve and capture applicable data in support of electronic discovery activities.

SM-ART experts Sharon D. Nelson, John W. Simek, and Virginia P. Henschel will be available for individual meetings at the ALM General Counsel Conference in New York, NY on June 8-9, 2010 to discuss the SM-ART service and how it can help your organization assess, mitigate, and manage social media risk.
