Call (844) 699-2913Serial level records, from one laptop to a firm-wide refresh
A firm-wide refresh can include laptops, servers, backup drives and copier drives across several offices, and the records stay serialized from the first device to the last. The figures below describe the STS operating baseline.
An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen
Law firm administrators typically expect serialized records for audit and client reviews, included in every STS service engagement. Between your office door and the processing floor, custody is documented rather than observed.
For drives holding sealed settlements, deal files or privileged client communications, some managing partners will not accept that window. Serial level tracking removes the ambiguity, and it replaces in-house methods that only feel secure, such as reformatting or drilling a drive.
