Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for improved electronic discovery. More specifically, embodiments relate to managing the process for creating search term sets to be applied to electronic data sets associated with a case in an electronic discovery system. A search term management application is provided that allows for multiple users to work collaboratively to define the final search term set that is subsequently applied to the corpus of electronic data for the case. In addition, the application provides for tracking the overall search term creation process. In addition, embodiments provide for a search term hit count engine that is configured to determine search term hit counts for data as a means of predicting the volume of data needed to review.

Search term hit counts in an electronic discovery system

In general, embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for previewing, in a safe environment, a given web page that is or may be conducting dangerous or fraudulent activity, including malware distribution and phishing activity. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to previewing a given web page in a safe environment by obtaining and breaking down the source code behind the given web page and constructing a preview of the web page without any potentially harmful images, scripts, executables, and/or the like.

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for improved electronic discovery and custodian management. Embodiments herein disclosed provide for an enterprise wide e-discovery system that provides for data to be identified, located, retrieved, preserved, searched, reviewed and produced in an efficient and cost-effective manner across the entire enterprise system. In addition, by structuring management of e-discovery based on case/matter, custodian and data and providing for linkage between the same, further efficiencies are realized in terms of identifying, locating and retrieving data and leveraging results of previous e-discoveries with current requests.

Electronic discovery system

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products configured to determine communities within an organization dynamically based on the distribution of entitlements within the organization.

Dynamic community generator

In general, embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for determining the probability that a given website is conducting or is related to fraudulent activity, including phishing activity. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to automatically monitoring and scoring URLs for fraudulent activity by parsing keywords, combinations of keywords, and other relevant data from an input communication, such as an email, and analyzing the data obtained against a database containing a plurality of grading factors.

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for improved electronic discovery. More specifically, embodiments relate to computer program products for predictive and automated coding of identical or highly similar documents for the purpose of limiting the volume of documents requiring review and thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the document review process.

Predictive coding of documents in an electronic discovery system

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products configured to calculate an indicator of the likelihood that an entitlement exists in a first community relative to a second community. The calculated indicator is then used to determine the appropriateness of entitlements within the first community or after a transfer of a person from the first community to the second.

Dynamic entitlement manager

Embodiments herein disclosed relate to methods, systems and computer program products that provide an enterprise wide e-discovery system configured to search myriad data sources across an enterprise to identify electronic data relevant to a particular data request, harvest the relevant electronic data, filter the electronic data to identify request file types, transfer the request file types to a data store, and assign labels, such as barcodes, to the requested file types for the purpose of producing, in an organized fashion, all requested electronic data that is in the enterprise's possession.
