Data and email escrow is a third-party, tamper-proof repository that securely stores critical electronic records (emails, documents, databases) for future access or legal discovery. It protects against spoliation claims, ensures continuity in bankruptcy proceedings, and satisfies court-ordered preservation requirements.

All data is stored with cryptographic hashing, audit trails, and time-stamping. We provide a chain-of-custody report and can supply a qualified custodian to authenticate records in court.

The escrow remains fully accessible to the trustee, debtor-in-possession, or court-appointed professionals. Access rights transfer automatically under the escrow agreement, preventing disruption during Chapter 7 or 11 proceedings.
