Explanation
Upon receipt of an eDiscovery order, the legally critical first step is notification - alerting the appropriate internal legal counsel, management, and, as required, the affected cloud customer. Proper notification triggers legal holds, preserves attorney-client privilege, ensures the organization does not inadvertently spoliate evidence, and establishes the chain of custody required for the data to be admissible. Collecting data, identifying encryption keys, or taking snapshots are subsequent operational steps, but none can proceed properly without first notifying the right parties to govern the legal response.
