Mobile devices play a pivotal role in nearly every eDiscovery case, with studies showing that 97% of cases involve at least one mobile device. As mobile data becomes more crucial for digital investigations, collecting, processing and reviewing that data can be a time-consuming and complex process. The integration between Cellebrite and RelativityOne changes the way legal teams approach mobile data collection, offering a streamlined, efficient and user-friendly solution that simplifies workflows and ensures data integrity. 

A Seamless Integration for Legal Teams 

The Cellebrite-RelativityOne partnership offers an integrated solution that simplifies mobile data collection within the RelativityOne Collect platform. By incorporating Cellebrite’s SaaS-based Endpoint Inspector into the RelativityOne interface, legal teams can now collect mobile data remotely without needing to use multiple tools. This integration offers a single, cohesive workflow that eliminates the hassle of juggling different platforms and ensures that all mobile evidence is captured accurately and efficiently. 

How the Integration Works: A Streamlined Process 

The integration is designed to make mobile evidence collection fast and straightforward. Legal teams initiate the collection process in RelativityOne Collect by creating a job and selecting the custodian. Once this is done, an email notification with installation instructions is sent to the custodian, who simply connects their mobile device to a computer. From there, Cellebrite handles the collection, processing and data transfer, pushing everything back into RelativityOne. This entire process can be completed in approximately one hour, dramatically reducing the time it typically takes to gather mobile evidence. 

Comprehensive Data Package for Thorough Investigations

A key benefit of the Cellebrite-RelativityOne integration is the comprehensive data package that is provided after a mobile collection. Legal teams receive several types of data, all in a ready-to-review format, including: 

  • Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF) Files: These files offer an enhanced review experience, allowing for easy analysis of text messages and mobile communications. 
  • Forensic Images (UFD): A full forensic image of the device, preserving the original phone data for accurate and complete analysis. 
  • Parsed Data (UFDR): Contains details such as call logs, contacts and messaging app data, providing a comprehensive view of the mobile device’s activity. 
  • Collection and Device Summary Reports: Detailed reports documenting the collection process and device details, ensuring a clear chain of custody and defensibility of the evidence. 

This thorough package ensures that no critical data is overlooked, enabling a more complete and defensible investigation. 

Simplifying Data Review 

The integration not only makes the collection process faster but also improves how teams review mobile data. With the ability to analyze conversations in 24-hour increments, teams can quickly pinpoint key events and communications. This granular approach to data review allows for a deeper understanding of the mobile evidence, uncovering important details such as message edits, deletions, reactions and forwards. The ability to view this data in an organized, easy-to-navigate format greatly improves the efficiency of the review process. 

The integration also prioritizes privacy and security. Custodians retain full control over their devices throughout the process, ensuring proper consent and protection of sensitive information. This level of privacy compliance is especially important for cases involving confidential data.

Currently available for U.S.-based customers, the Cellebrite-RelativityOne integration is set to expand globally. As the volume of mobile data continues to grow, the need for efficient, defensible and compliant mobile data collection becomes even more important. This integration addresses these needs by offering a solution that scales with the demands of modern legal teams, ensuring they have the tools required to handle mobile data effectively no matter where they are operating.
