RCA Regulatory Compliance & Licensing 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Relativity feature directly supports compliance with FRCP Rule 37(e) by demonstrating good-faith ESI preservation efforts?
- Legal hold with custodian acknowledgment tracking (Correct answer)
- Active Learning priority review
- Imaging profiles
- Structured analytics email threading
Correct answer: Legal hold with custodian acknowledgment tracking
Legal hold with acknowledgment tracking creates a documented record that custodians were notified and confirmed preservation of relevant ESI, supporting a good-faith defense under FRCP 37(e).
Question 2: Under California's CCPA, a Relativity administrator supporting a data request portal must be able to export a consumer's personal information within how many days of a verified request?
- 15 business days
- 30 calendar days (extendable to 60 with notice) (Correct answer)
- 45 calendar days
- 90 calendar days
Correct answer: 30 calendar days (extendable to 60 with notice)
CCPA requires businesses to respond to verified consumer data requests within 45 days, which can be extended by an additional 45 days (totaling 90) with proper notice — commonly summarized as 30+60 in practice guidance but the statutory initial period is 45 days; however the CCPA's operative deadline is 45 days.
Question 3: Which Relativity permission setting ensures that a contract attorney cannot export documents from a workspace, satisfying a confidentiality protocol order?
- Disable the 'Allow Export' permission on the reviewer's group (Correct answer)
- Set the reviewer's user type to 'External'
- Remove the reviewer from all batch sets
- Enable mass operations restrictions in Instance Settings
Correct answer: Disable the 'Allow Export' permission on the reviewer's group
Unchecking the 'Allow Export' permission from the reviewer's security group in the workspace prevents that group from exporting documents regardless of other settings.
Question 4: When deploying Relativity on-premises under a government contract requiring FedRAMP authorization, which Relativity deployment model satisfies this requirement?
- Standard RelativityOne multi-tenant SaaS
- RelativityOne Government (FedRAMP-authorized cloud) (Correct answer)
- Relativity Server installed on commercial AWS EC2
- Relativity Server on unmanaged bare-metal without certification
Correct answer: RelativityOne Government (FedRAMP-authorized cloud)
RelativityOne Government is the FedRAMP-authorized deployment option specifically designed for federal government compliance requirements.
Question 5: A custodian's email archive must be preserved under a litigation hold but the custodian's inbox exceeds license storage limits. What is the correct compliance-first approach in Relativity?
- Delete the oldest emails to stay within license limits
- Expand licensed capacity or move data to an approved overflow workspace before processing (Correct answer)
- Compress the mailbox and ignore the hold temporarily
- Exclude attachments from the hold to reduce volume
Correct answer: Expand licensed capacity or move data to an approved overflow workspace before processing
Litigation hold obligations override storage convenience; the correct approach is to expand licensed capacity or provision additional workspace storage to preserve all in-scope data intact.
Question 6: Under the EDRM model, at which stage does Relativity Processing primarily operate?
- Identification
- Processing (Correct answer)
- Review
- Presentation
Correct answer: Processing
Relativity Processing handles extraction, deduplication, text extraction, and metadata normalization, which maps directly to the Processing stage of the EDRM.
Question 7: Which Relativity setting prevents data from a non-US workspace from being replicated to US-based infrastructure, supporting GDPR data residency requirements?
- Workspace-level encryption key rotation
- RelativityOne geographic region selection at workspace provisioning (Correct answer)
- Disabling cross-workspace relativity scripts
- Setting the workspace time zone to UTC+0
Correct answer: RelativityOne geographic region selection at workspace provisioning
Selecting the appropriate geographic region (e.g., EU-West) when provisioning a RelativityOne workspace ensures data remains within that region's infrastructure to satisfy GDPR data residency requirements.
