Why Defensibility Matters
Social media and public web information can influence critical legal and business decisions, but only when it is collected, reviewed, and documented properly.
Screenshots, informal searches, and automated tools often fail under scrutiny. Content may be misattributed, taken out of context, or impossible to authenticate after the fact. These gaps create unnecessary risk when information is challenged by opposing counsel, regulators, or internal stakeholders.
SMI Aware was built to address these risks. Our work is designed to be explainable, auditable, and defensible, with clear documentation of scope, method, and findings.
This disciplined approach allows legal teams to rely on the information with confidence.
