Organisations are seeing an increase in the volume of Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and are generally required to respond to these requests within a short time frame. They have an obligation to perform a reasonable search for the Data Subject’s personally identifiable information (PII), and to remove any third party PII. The swift turnaround time required, large volumes of data, complicated redaction process and complex legal advice highlight the number of challenges we are faced with when receiving a DSAR.
Our solution
To respond to these challenges, our DSAR Toolkit of technical solutions and innovative workflows enables us to customise how each DSAR is managed, reviewed and redacted.
Workflow:
- Custom data deduplication
- Standardised review workflows
- Paralegals specifically trained to handle DSAR review
- Bespoke data exclusion analysis
Custom Technology:
- Native Excel redactions
- Auto redact functionality
- Document Auto-Describe
- Excel Personal Data Extractor
- Thumbnail viewer
Artificial Intelligence:
- PII Detection
- Audio
- Video Searchability
- Technology Assisted Review
- Continuous Active Learning
- Conceptual Clustering
Flexibility
- Adaptable technology and workflows to meet the changing needs of the case
- Ability to quickly pivot as the case develops
The benefits
Cost Certainty
Manual review of documents is notoriously expensive and unpredictable. We have developed two standardised workflows, one simple and one complex, which allow us to provide pricing on a per document basis.
Efficiency
We utilise the latest technology available to reduce manual review and to increase the accuracy and efficiency of the DSAR review process. The processes and workflows we have developed take the guess work out of how to handle a DSAR.
Innovation
The development of the DSAR Toolkit was the combined effort of Simmons & Simmons lawyers and our in-house eDiscovery Solutions team. Our combination of legal experience and technological expertise is unmatched and led to our unique solution of combining multiple pieces of technology, artificial intelligence and streamlined workflows that we can pick and choose from to meet the unique needs of each case.
