OUR CREDENTIALS
INFORMATION GOVERNANCEInformation is a corporation’s most valuable asset. BDO helps our clients protect and manage their information by developing proper controls and safeguards across the enterprise. With backgrounds in investigations, compliance, information management, e-discovery, auditing and technology solution development, BDO provides a strong foundation to help organizations develop the comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance programs they require. Our professionals draw on deep industry expertise, working with clients to develop pragmatic and repeatable processes, policies and solutions.
DIGITAL FORENSICS AND CYBER INVESTIGATIONSFrom Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), to embezzlement, trade secret theft or unauthorized access, data breaches and high-tech fraud are serious and delicate matters. BDO’s Digital Forensics and Cyber Investigations team offers a comprehensive and rapid-response approach to identify the “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” and “how” of nefarious, unintentional or unauthorized events.

BDO's Investigative Process
E-DISCOVERYE-Discovery has become increasingly global and complex. As businesses store records in various locations, an understanding of local data privacy and security requirements is more important than ever. BDO is well versed in multinational, multi-jurisdictional, and multi-language matters, as well as the intricacies of both structured and unstructured Big Data discovery. Leveraging our Technology Assisted Review (TAR) expertise, BDO works with clients to streamline large data-intensive investigations through a combination of professional expertise and leading-edge technology applications. We utilize proven methodologies and industry-leading professionals with extensive experience developing predictive coding workflows to provide defensible and customized solutions to meet clients’ investigative and litigation needs.
DATA ANALYTICSYour data grows exponentially. The complexity and capacity of business systems are constantly increasing – as are the data requirements housed in these systems. As a result, businesses need a cost-effective method to control the widening gap between data management and decision-making. BDO fills that gap by organizing, standardizing, and analyzing clients’ increasingly large and complex data sets.
We evaluate and analyze data comprehensively and cost-effectively, regardless of format, database platform, or system. Whether assessing millions of records domestically or culling through terabytes of multi-lingual, cross-border transactions, our professionals provide the insight necessary to make critical business decisions.
NATIONAL SECURITY/CFIUSComplex regulations require innovative solutions. BDO assists organizations in meeting national security requirements set by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) during cross-border mergers and acquisitions. From process improvement and compliance to investigative inquiries and independent audits, BDO employs proven methodologies and innovative technologies through each stage of CFIUS preparation, submission, and review.
CORE PRACTICE AREAS
Collaboratively, we work with your team to gain an understanding of the matter, the custodians and associated ESI.
Initiation & Interviews
Relevant custodians and ESI locations are considered through data analytics techniques. Once identified and confirmed, BDO efficiently collects ESI from one or more locations simultaneously.
Preservation & Collections
Using industry accepted software and tools, combined with data analytics techniques, we prioritize custodians’ ESI, filter it and ensure that multi-language requirements are met.
Filtering & Processing
Utilizing in-house and off- the-shelf tools, BDO assists you with programmatically reducing data sets to hone in on key issues.
Analytics
Utilizing traditional linear review and technology assisted review, our project managers ensure that your review stays on time and on budget, including the ability to deploy native speaking team members.
Document Review
Coupled with the ability to testify to our practices or industry standards, we regularly help counsel with defending methodologies and e-discovery practices.
