About The Lorenzi Group
It all started with Zubulake and the Russian Mafia.
We were working on a project for a client that was having issues... real, big business, data security issues. Someone, unbeknownst to them, had been hacking into their network and doing... well, no one really knew what they were doing. You see, the client had no data security in place. But, they knew something wasn't right... and they needed to figure it out. As a small business, if their clients (Fortune 500 Manufacturing and Service companies) found out, they would be out of business.
Not bank accounts, the hackers were watching customer orders to buy and sell stock!
After consulting with them on proper data security measures, we came to see many tell-tale signs of Eastern European hackers. But the odd thing was, they weren't pillaging bank accounts. The hackers were doing something else. It looked like they were watching the financial books closely... very closely. After a while, we figured out that the hackers were interested in customer orders. Why would they be interested in our client’s customers? Not just 1 customer, mind you. Many customers. Why would they care who our client worked with? What was in it for them? Then we realized that the customer data the hackers were in we all publicly traded businesses!
The Zubulake decisions (Zubulake v. UBS Warburg LLC, 217 F.R.D. 309, 311[S.D.N.Y. 2003) have set the standards and opened the doors to the utilization of computer forensics in civil proceedings.
Gain evidence be obtained, processed, reviewed and presented
Computers, cell phones, and PDA’s can hold case-critical information that now must be turned over during the discovery process. It is important that the evidence gained be obtained, processed, reviewed and presented in such a manner that it can be employed by your legal staff.
- The Lorenzi Group will assist you by developing a digital evidence management plan
- Creating and executing an individualized plan of attack for obtaining relevant data on a case by case basis.
- Maintaining a strict chain of custody to ensure uncompromised high quality evidence

After we began working with clients, they would come back. They would have questions. Often, the first question was: How do we make sure this doesn't happen again? These questions got us thinking that there was a need to work with organizations, train them, test them... help them see what was coming. That is when we began consulting. We realized very quickly that it was CRITICAL for The Lorenzi Group to stay true to its core competency. We have seen enough companies try to be scanners, coders, computer forensics experts, IT support shops and more, all go down in flames with outrageous pricing and pitiful customer service.
Our focus is still e-Security. That means Digital Forensics with Security & Compliance consulting, and Education. This allows us to fully transfer our knowledge and experience to clients in a direct and relevant manner. It you want your computer fixed, software installed, or need to know how to change the font in MS Word, talk to your IT team, not us.
