ISO/IEC DIS 27050-1

Description / Abstract: Electronic discovery is the process of discovering pertinent Electronically Stored Information (ESI) or data by one or more parties involved in an investigation or litigation, or similar proceeding. This International Standard provides an overview of electronic discovery. In addition, it defines related terms and describes the concepts, including, but not limited to identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis, and production of ESI.

This International Standard also identifies other relevant standards (e.g. ISO/IEC 27037) and how they relate to, and interact with, electronic discovery activities. This International Standard is relevant to both non-technical and technical personnel involved in some or all of the electronic discovery activities, and it is not intended to contradict or supersede local jurisdictional laws and regulations, so exercise care to ensure compliance with the prevailing jurisdictional requirements.
