An organization receives a legal hold request from an attorney. The request pertains to emails related to a disputed vendor contract. Which of the following is the first step for the security team to take to ensure compliance with the request?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The first step for the security team when receiving a legal hold request is to notify the relevant departments to preserve all potentially relevant information. This ensures that no data is altered, deleted, or otherwise tampered with, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the evidence. Preserving information includes emails, documents, and any other data that might be relevant to the legal matter. Establishing a chain of custody and backing up data are also important steps, but notifying the involved parties is the immediate priority to prevent data loss.

I'd go with B too. Covering your bases by getting the relevant teams involved right away is key. Can't have any 'oops, I deleted that' moments.

Ha! Publicly disclosing the request to other vendors? That's a good way to get in trouble. B is the way to go, keep it internal until you have to share.

Definitely B. Gotta make sure those departments know what's up so they don't accidentally delete anything important. Don't want to be scrambling later on.

Backing up the mailboxes on the server and providing the attorney with a copy should also be done to ensure we have a record of the emails.
