COGNICION COVID-19 BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN

Due to the heightened concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus and in accordance with current CDC recommendations, Cognicion is transitioning to a remote-work model effective Thursday, March 19, until further notice. During this difficult period our priorities continue to be with our team, clients, and partners. To that end, we are taking the following steps to ensure safety, security, and quality for our entire Cognicion community.

Show More

Employee & Contractor Safety

All Cognicion staff have been instructed to work from home, unless business continuity requires team members to be on site. Strict controls will be in place for team members who are required to work from the office.

Contract reviewers are transitioning to a remote-work model as well. To ensure security and consistency, we are distributing specialized computers that mimic our review facility setup. All remote work environments must be approved, and contractors must adhere to Cognicion’s remote working standards. Contract reviewers will be monitored for performance and compliance throughout their remote-work assignment.

All non-essential travel is on hold until business returns to normal.

Data Privacy & Security

Our commitment to data privacy and security remain unchanged. In addition to our strict policies and procedures, we have implemented the following additional protocols and guidelines to further secure our clients’ data.

  • Client data will continue to be securely stored at Cognicion’s Richmond datacenter. All client data under 50 GB is to be sent via Egnyte, our encrypted file sharing tool. We ask that larger physical media shipments to our datacenter be coordinated with our project management team to ensure we have coverage.
  • Remote review will be conducted using Cognicion provided computers connected to Relativity through Amazon Web Services. This allows us restrict access to unapproved applications and websites, while eliminating the ability to copy, print, download, and transfer data via USB. No client data will be stored in the cloud.
  • An additional layer of security is available through a third-party application called SecureReview. This additional layer includes the ability to monitor access through the use of a webcam, further deterring the unwanted sharing of information.

Business Continuity & Quality

Our team and systems will continue to operate at a high level, with minimal, if not zero disruptions. The following guidelines are in place to ensure business continuity and support for all our clients.

  • Team members will be available during regular office hours and if necessary, extended hours to meet project requirements.
  • Team members will dedicate their full attention to their job duties and meet expectations on work output, job performance and response time.
  • Team members will maintain a suitable work environment in their private residence and adhere to all applicable Cognicion policies, including (but not limited to) confidentiality, data protection, and anti-discrimination/equal opportunity.
  • All systems will continue to maintain 99.9% uptime and availability.

We recognize the challenges ahead. We will continue monitor to the situation and proactively communicate any changes. Know that our team is well prepared and confident that we can deliver the excellent level of service to which our clients are accustomed. If you have any questions, please contact me at cmcdaniel@cognicion.com.

Sincerely,

Chris McDaniel

Here’s the Thing

In today’s complex, fast-paced world of information management, hours matter, and every dollar is important. Selecting a firm to help manage and understand your data can be one of the most critical decision an organization makes, yet this choice is often made as though we’re all pretty much the same. We’d like to suggest a different point of view. With a team of obsessively client focused, highly experienced professionals, backed by state-of-the-art technology, we offer creative solutions in four service lines – eDiscovery, Managed Review, Contract Management, and Advisory Services. We have a group of folks we think you’d really like to get to know. Discover our difference. Meet Cognicion.
