Even in today’s cloud-world, physical asset tracking is an important part of preservation. S2|DATA recognizes that and has a solution for it!
Whether you’re preserving IT assets for litigation, managing devices under investigation, or simply implementing operational best practices, it’s important to be able to provide a defensible chain of custody, transparent preservation workflows, and complete visibility into devices and media across their lifecycle. I’ve covered many cases where the lack of chain of custody tracking and proper preservation of physical devices like hard drives or mobile devices has led to significant sanctions for those parties.
ChainLogix from S2|DATA helps legal, compliance, and IT teams mitigate risk. With up to 200 customizable fields per asset, ChainLogix bridges the needs of Legal, Compliance, InfoGov, and IT by enabling holistic tracking across the entire device lifecycle. It’s also ISO 27001-Aligned, with full inventory and audit trail support by matter, asset, or location. And it provides flexible deployment options – either managed by S2|DATA or by the client.
Each asset is assigned a unique barcode, physically affixed to the device, ensuring precise tracking, accountability, and audit-ready accuracy throughout its lifecycle. S2|DATA already manages 300,000 assets across three continents – with zero losses.
We talk so much about data in the cloud that we forget that physical asset tracking is an important part of preservation too. You can find out more about ChainLogix here and also via a brief video here.
So, what do you think? What does your organization do to track physical assets? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
