eDiscovery Data Processing and Hosting
Automation Drives Down Hosted Data Volumes
Peak Weekly Data Volume
File Types Supported in Processing via Nuix + Proprietary Automation
eDiscovery Standards with the Lighthouse Difference
There’s standard processing, and then there’s the Lighthouse standard: processing built on an industry-standard engine and infused with automation that speeds time to review and reduces human errors, performed by consistent, seasoned project teams. It’s reliability you can count on, project after project.
Automated Processing for Defensible Results
Using Nuix as our primary processing tool brings industry-leading speed and metadata extraction to each matter. To optimize performance and integration, we've also developed a proprietary automation framework that moves data from post-collection through to review, providing superior turnaround times and throughput and reducing the risk of error that naturally comes with manual handoffs.
Predictable Project Teams Who Know Your Business
Lighthouse’s team structure is as innovative as it is dependable. Each project team contains a dedicated group of experts who ensure consistent support across projects, maintain deep familiarity with your workflows, and provide centralized management for all eDiscovery needs. They’re also able to draw on other experts as necessary, from digital forensics to AI-powered analytics, folding in value-added knowledge that can boost your case strategy.
Quality Checkpoints
Quality Checks at Every Step
You expect your exported dataset to be filtered, deduplicated, threaded, and through a DeNISTing as necessary, and Lighthouse has you covered.
But we also go the extra mile for accuracy that makes a difference in review. Lighthouse integrates rigorous quality control at every step of data ingestion and processing, combining automated programmatic checks with independent peer reviews for manual tasks. Hundreds of quality checkpoints validate data accuracy, identify exceptions, and ensure compliance with technical specifications, and we document all findings—because transparency matters.
What Our Processing & Hosting Clients Are Saying
[Lighthouse has] very good support (including outside of direct matter work), knowledgeable and experienced PMs (they share methods used to deal with similar work scenarios on other matters). Lighthouse shows the ability to think outside the box commercially as well.

Hosting
From West Coast US to the UK, Lighthouse has data centers to serve clients across the globe, right-sizing services to meet client needs without being wedded to specific locations. Using efficiencies including culling repositories for house case text and metadata, Lighthouse aims to reduce monthly hosting fees by actually hosting only what’s deemed necessary for a given matter. We’re committed to protecting all hosted data with the highest standards of data security.

Right from the Start: Lighthouse Data Collection
The right datasets upstream can lead to more efficient processing and cost-effective hosting. Lighthouse leverages tools your enterprise already has, like M365, to cull data in place and reduce downstream eDiscovery volumes. With flexible collection options, our experts make defensibility and efficiency a standard part of every collection.
FAQs
Is M365 or Purview SEC 17a-4 compliant?
Yes, if a securities company has appropriate licensing, and the system is configured properly, it is.
Can Purview be used for forensic collection of meeting recordings and transcripts?
Yes, as of October 2024, meeting recordings and transcripts are stored in the meeting organizer's OneDrive (prior thereto, they were stored in the Exchange account of the user who enabled the recording).
Should regulated companies enable meeting recording and transcription features within M365?
The decision to enable recording and transcription features (or any feature within the M365 platform) should account for the business, legal and regulatory requirements. For recordings and transcription specifically, the business need should be weighed against the information governance and eDiscovery implications, where the volume of data generated and need to preserve and collect the data will increase. Costs and risks should also be evaluated against risk mitigation options, including for example, options for retention and deletion of data once it is no longer needed (legal hold remediation).
