Maximizing security in your eDiscovery databases

The following actions can be taken to maximize the security in your eDiscovery databases.

  • Change database ownership and control access privileges

    By default, the Vault Service account owns all the eDiscovery databases and can access all the objects in them. To maximize security in your SQL Server environment, you may want to change the ownership of each database and revoke many of the Vault Service account's access privileges. The following article on the Arctera Support website describes how to perform these activities:

  • Back up configuration databases

    Configuration Database contains crucial security information such as encryption keys for every customer. This information is used to encrypt the data stored in eDiscovery. To protect this security information, it is recommended to back up the configuration database regularly.
