The preservation of ESI can be costly for many large organizations. Over-preservation may result in escalating costs as information is produced at an exponential rate. Failure to preserve enough can result in a wide range of possible penalties, including monetary, issue, expert and case-related sanctions. Companies need to develop defensible processes that strike the balance between preservation and business needs. Such policies must also be effective, supportive of good faith efforts to identify and preserve potentially responsive ESI.
