EDRM, the leading standards organization for the e-discovery market, announces the reintroduction and refinement of its Privacy & Security Risk Reduction Model (PSRRM). Initially introduced in September 2013 and developed by EDRM’s Data Set group, the model provides a process for reducing the volume of private, protected and risky data by using a series of steps applied in sequence as part of the information management, identification, preservation and collection phases of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model.
High risk data can cause significant trouble and exposure for organizations today, as evidenced by the recent Target and Neiman Marcus data breaches. To help companies address this exposure in an organized and systematic manner, EDRM has revised the PSRRM to include industry feedback and real-world experiences using the model in data remediation and e-discovery projects.
The updated PSRRM provides a framework for ongoing iterative risk reduction. The model is a step-by-step guide to addressing highly sensitive data including personally identifiable information, proprietary data and privileged communications. Implementation of the model helps to reduce risk and establishes a repeatable and defensible process for handling private and protected data.
