Guidance Software has announced a newly formed strategic alliance with Protiviti, a global business consulting and internal audit firm. This global alliance provides a technology and consulting service solution that uniquely empowers organizations to manage their eDiscovery processes in-house and avoid costly outsourcing.

The alliance combines Guidance Software’s EnCase eDiscovery, which enables the identification, search, collection, preservation, and processing of electronically stored information, with Protiviti’s strong expertise in risk and advisory services for eDiscovery and data governance.
