Q1 Defensible Legal Hold is an application suite for legal hold management, data preservation, and data collection. It manages customizable holds from issuance through release, including custodian and administrator notices, scheduled reminders, escalations, timeline notices, release notifications, and system-wide reporting. Automated procedures apply legal-hold metadata to connected repositories while allowing continued data use. Other automated processes can cull, collect, validate, and preserve copies of potentially relevant artifacts. Q1 says its backend engages with more than 200 source data repositories and names Nuix and Relativity as downstream processing and review integrations. The suite includes notice creation, management, escalation, and auditing functions and is presented for legal firms and corporations. Q1 describes the workflows as defensible and court admissible, but does not name a security certification or compliance standard. The product pages do not specify operating systems, deployment options, mobile apps, or an API. Pricing is on request, with a demo or contact route offered.
