An organization receives a legal hold request from an attorney. The request pertains to emails related to a disputed vendor contract. Which of the following is the first step for the security team to take to ensure compliance with the request?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The first step for the security team when receiving a legal hold request is to notify the relevant departments to preserve all potentially relevant information. This ensures that no data is altered, deleted, or otherwise tampered with, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the evidence. Preserving information includes emails, documents, and any other data that might be relevant to the legal matter. Establishing a chain of custody and backing up data are also important steps, but notifying the involved parties is the immediate priority to prevent data loss.

This is a tricky one. I'm tempted to go with option C and establish a chain of custody, but I think the most important thing is to make sure the relevant information is preserved, so I'll go with option B.

I'm a bit confused here. Publicly disclosing the request to other vendors doesn't seem like the right approach, and backing up the mailboxes without a proper chain of custody could be problematic. I think I'll go with option B.
