Prove legal holds are enforced before the migration

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Aug 6, 2026.

Some knowledge must remain discoverable while becoming unusable in ordinary work flows.

Legal preservation and broad productivity can demand different boundaries over the same content.

Who you’d be doing this for

“I need custodians to find preserved material, but I can’t have it quietly feeding everyday workflows.”

Paraskevi Martins · Deputy General Counsel for eDiscovery

Owns defensible legal-hold processes for a regulated enterprise preparing to migrate its internal knowledge systems.

What is at stake

Held content can be classified in most samples, but nothing proves that every retrieval surface enforces the split. You have to ship enforcement, define the proof, and get sign-off before the irreversible migration.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • legal preservation vs. ordinary workflow exclusion
  • migration speed vs. release proof
  • automated findings vs. human-verifiable evidence
  • uniform policy vs. inconsistent source metadata
  • custodian access vs. least privilege

Why Glean

At Glean, this often matters when secure knowledge access must carry enterprise policy into search and downstream actions.
