Overview
In recent years, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued various policy statements and guidance emphasizing that a company’s ability to produce data from employees’ personal devices and third-party applications, especially those with end-to-end encryption or features that automatically delete communications like WeChat and WhatsApp, is critical in assessing the company’s level of cooperation and the effectiveness of its compliance program. A company’s level of cooperation and DOJ’s assessment of the effectiveness of its compliance program can significantly impact whether a company is criminally prosecuted at all, as well as the outcome of any such resolution. As a result, companies should (1) assess how such apps/devices are actually being used by employees, and (2) implement tailored controls to ensure that such communications are appropriately preserved and accessible. There is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and developing appropriate controls requires thoughtful collaboration among legal, business, IT, and other functions.
