Client issue: A used car dealership alleged that a former affiliate misappropriated confidential data and provided it to a digital vehicle marketplace, leveraging the information for commercial gain. The matter escalated to litigation, and the court issued a temporary restraining order requiring data tracing and return.
CRA approach: Under the leadership of our expert, our team executed an expedited, multi-city digital forensic investigation. The team imaged 15 devices, collected and analyzed 3.5 terabytes of data across 25 custodians, and reviewed over 1 million documents to identify and trace the misappropriated information.
Client impact: Our analysis enabled the remediation and return of 892 critical documents, supporting compliance with court orders, mitigating further legal exposure, and allowing the client to resume normal business operations.
