Collection Guidelines
Based on the results of the Identification phase, adequate planning of the search strategy is a major key to overall effectiveness in the collection effort. The first question that should be asked is where is the data. A good strategy is to work from a topology of the network and then create a map of the types of data, the locations and the custodians. Search terms, phrases and concepts need to be documented at the outset, along with a list of key company events and timeframes, as well as custodians of interest and relevance.

As many companies manage terabytes of information containing potentially relevant
information, it is essential to use a culling methodology to try to get the data
down to a responsive set of information.
