Frequently Asked Questions
How does Komprise help law firms reduce storage costs without disrupting attorneys or case workflows?
Law firms face 20% or more annual storage growth driven by case files, litigation documents, contracts, and multimedia evidence that attorneys resist deleting in case matters are reopened. Komprise Intelligent Data Management automatically identifies data that has not been accessed or modified beyond a defined threshold, such as files inactive for more than two years or cases that have been formally closed, and tiers it to lower-cost cloud or object storage without any disruption to attorneys or applications. Komprise Transparent Move Technology ensures that tiered files remain accessible from their original locations via Dynamic Links, so attorneys simply click on a file and are redirected seamlessly to its new location. Katten Law saved $900,000 annually using this approach, tiering inactive litigation data to Microsoft Azure Blob storage with zero impact on end-user experience.
How does Komprise support e-discovery and rapid search across large volumes of legal data?
E-discovery requests require law firms to locate, review, and produce specific documents from across years of case files, often under tight legal deadlines. Komprise Deep Analytics indexes all file and object data across the entire storage estate, capturing metadata including file type, owner, age, last access date, and custom tags. This index is stored in the Global Metadatabase, enabling legal IT teams and data managers to search across petabytes of unstructured data by any combination of criteria in seconds. Komprise Smart Data Workflows can also automate the identification and collection of data matching specific case identifiers or matter numbers, significantly reducing the time and cost of responding to e-discovery requests compared to manual searches across siloed NAS environments.
How does Komprise protect law firms from ransomware attacks on high-value client data?
Law firms are prime ransomware targets because of the volume and sensitivity of client data they hold. Komprise reduces ransomware exposure by tiering data off primary NAS to immutable cloud object storage, where it cannot be encrypted or deleted by ransomware actors who gain access to the firm’s network. Data tiered to cloud storage via Komprise Transparent Move Technology is stored in vendor-neutral native format in cloud environments that can be configured with object lock and immutability policies. Voice access link This creates a clean, recoverable copy that is isolated from on-premises attack surfaces. In the event of a ransomware incident, tiered data remains intact in the cloud and can be restored without paying ransom or rebuilding from tape.
How can law firms use Komprise to prepare legal data for AI tools and contract analytics?
Legal AI tools for contract analysis, litigation strategy, legal research, and document review require rapid access to well-organized, searchable case files and documents. The challenge for most law firms is that legal data is scattered across multiple NAS systems, file shares, and matter management platforms with inconsistent naming and no unified metadata layer. Komprise Deep Analytics builds a Global Metadatabase across all storage environments, making it possible to discover and curate the precise datasets needed for AI ingestion by matter type, document category, client, date range, or custom tags. Komprise Smart Data Workflows then automate the movement of curated legal data to AI platforms in native format, without manual preparation or custom ETL pipelines, accelerating time to insight for legal AI initiatives.
How does Komprise handle data retention and compliance for law firms managing client confidentiality obligations?
Law firms must balance long-term data retention obligations for closed matters with confidentiality requirements, bar association rules, and client data protection regulations. Komprise addresses this through policy-based Komprise Smart Data Workflows that classify data by matter status, client, retention schedule, and sensitivity, then automatically apply the appropriate lifecycle action, whether that is tiering to compliant long-term storage, restricting access, or flagging for deletion review. All data movement and classification activity is tracked in the Global Metadatabase, providing a complete audit trail for compliance reviews. Because Komprise stores tiered data in native format on open standards-based object storage, it remains accessible and auditable for the full retention period without any dependency on proprietary archive software or vendor relationships.
