The AFIS Departure Assurance Program (DAP) is a retainer-based solution that helps organizations prepare for and, if needed, investigate employee departures in a straightforward and defensible manner. Each client’s DAP is customized to reflect their specific needs, risk tolerance, and corporate culture, established during onboarding in collaboration with in-house and outside counsel. DAP organizes departing employees into clearly defined groups of risk and response, enabling consistent, proportional actions based on role sensitivity and business exposure.
1. Onboarding & Workflow Development – AFIS collaborates with HR, Legal, IT, and Security to define employee categories, data sources, and escalation workflows.
2. Departure Notification & Review – Upon notice of an employee departure, AFIS determines the applicable group and initiates preservation or review.
3. Forensic Preservation & Analysis – AFIS preserves relevant data and, for Group 1 employees, conducts targeted triage focusing on deleted files, external devices, cloud transfers, and logs.
4. Reporting & Escalation – Each DAP engagement results in a concise report summarizing findings, indicators of concern, and recommended next steps.
Group 1 - Keyholders
Employees with privileged access to sensitive systems, data or IP.
Action - Immediate preservation and standardized forensic triage of corporate devices or data sources. Optional escalation to full forensic examination if indicators of concern are identified.
Purpose - Detect and contain departing employee risks early.
Group 2 - Monitored Staff
Employees with limited access to sensitive systems, data or IP.
Action - Targeted preservation of key data sources for potential future forensic review.
Purpose - Maintain defensibility and enable retrospective review if needed.
Group 3 - Low Risk Personnel
Employees without access to sensitive systems, data or IP.
Action - No forensic collection. Basic mapping and recording of data sources.
Purpose - Focus resources where they matter most.
