--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Associate General Counsel, Investigations Lead (speak, public): Let's start by aligning on our investigation plan. We have a whistleblower allegation about revenue recognition timing issues in Q3 2025 involving two revenue streams. The SEC preservation notice is expected within 10 days, and we need to update the audit committee in 30 days. Our initial legal hold scope includes 14 custodians and 6 Slack workspaces. We are planning to engage Hawthorne LLP as our outside counsel with a 3-partner team. All investigation emails must use matter code INV-26-017 and be limited to 9 recipients on the distribution list.
[R0.2] Global Data Protection Officer (DPO) (speak, public): Thank you for sharing the details about the investigation plan. To ensure we're compliant with data protection regulations across jurisdictions, could you help me understand the sensitivity level of this matter and whether any high-profile individuals are involved? Additionally, I'd appreciate any insights into potential technical or operational risks that the eDiscovery team might have faced in similar investigations.
[R0.3] eDiscovery & IT Operations Lead (speak, public): To ensure we're compliant with data protection regulations across jurisdictions, I'd like to provide some context about our eDiscovery capabilities. Our primary data sources for this investigation are Microsoft 365 and Slack Enterprise Grid across two tenants. We have an export capacity of 1 TB/day with a current backlog of 2 days. However, we should be aware that Teams export is throttled at 20,000 items/hour, which means a full run takes approximately 6 days. Additionally, our legal hold repository has a capacity of 12 TB, with current usage at 9.8 TB. We're using AES-256 encryption at rest for our collections, and admin access is restricted to 4 staff members.

[R1.2] Global Data Protection Officer (DPO) (speak, public): To ensure we're compliant with data protection regulations across jurisdictions, I'd like to provide some additional context about our data protection requirements.

We should also be aware of the DPIA trigger and template requirements, as we'll need to conduct a DPIA if the investigation involves more than 10 EU employees. Additionally, we've identified approved forensic processing vendors that hold ISO 27001 certification. Lastly, if our monitoring lasts more than 30 days, we'll need to provide notice to the France works council with a 15-day lead time.
