NEW YORK – Complete Discovery Source (CDS), a leader in eDiscovery, announced today that the company has successfully completed the Type 2 SOC 2 examination, continuing its commitment to data security. This is the second year CDS has passed the Type 2 SOC 2 examination, an enhancement over the Type 2 SOC 1 examination completed in prior years.
