Electronically Stored Information (ESI) Collection Tools


Each day, corporate IT managers, computer forensic examiners, and litigation support professionals are tasked with performing ESI collections for relevant files which reside in file shares, on client systems, and other popular data sources. The content may include Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, departmental data, individual custodian files, internet logs, telephone logs, or other critical corporate content.

Over 4 years ago, Pinpoint Labs released SafeCopy version 2.0 (SafeCopy 2) which alleviated several common problems encountered when using alternative copy utilities to collect client files. Here are a few of those problems that the SafeCopy 2 upgrade addressed:
  • DOS-based utilities can be difficult to customize and replicate across multiple users
  • Files located in paths with more than 255 characters are missed
  • Unicode file and folder names may create verification issues
  • Copied file contents are not hash verified (required to confirm that the entire contents were copied)
  • Incomplete copy logs do not support accurate recording and validation
  • Network outages halt file collections and can be difficult to resume

In September 2009, Pinpoint Labs released One Click Collect – Harvester (Portable/Server), which was a new product that included the proven SafeCopy 2 engine. The Pinpoint Harvester ESI collection software includes:
  • Keyword cull loose files, PST emails, archives, and attachments
  • Dedupe, and Filter a Single or Multiple PSTs
  • Regenerate new PSTs, or export email to 8 different message formats
  • Separate email verification (chain of custody) and exclusion logs
  • Database tracking
  • Several targeted collection speed improvements
  • Known non-searchable file types included
  • Dedupe and DeNIST
  • Automated, Remote, and Portable Forensically sound collections
  • No Per Gig, Per Custodian, or Per Collection fees
  • Activate and Deactivate the license to move around for collections or in-house processing
