Forensics Consulting Solutions “FCS” Announces Departing Employee Data Management Services

March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Phoenix, Arizona – May 29, 2012 – The departure of an employee, whether through termination, layoff, reduction in force, or other event, is a stressful situation for all involved.  Mark Walker, Senior Director of Consulting and Client Services stated, “Departures of employees can be fraught with legal and compliance risks.”  To address these risks, organizations must properly manage the data that was created or controlled by the departing employee.  This liability is derived primarily from three sources

 •  employment-related litigation
 •  preservation of ESI, and
 •  record-keeping obligations.

An article in Law Technology News recommended that “even if a layoff goes smoothly with no apparent disgruntlement on the part of the employee, a company should still collect evidence of its own due diligence in case there’s some sort of investigation in the future.”

The Forensics Practice at FCS specializes in managing our clients’ most sensitive data, during their most sensitive business events.  Our specialized expertise, tools, and processes are designed to ensure that critical data is cost-effectively handled in a forensically sound and legally-defensible manner.  FCS will be offering complimentary educational lunch and learns on this topic.  Contact sales@forensicsconsulting.com for more information.
