La technologie utilisée est relativement simple; toutefois, les incidences de l'utilisation des témoins se révèlent de plus en plus complexes et profondes. Dans un premier temps, on ne comprend pas bien la technologie, ce qui ne fait qu'augmenter la confusion quant aux raisons et à la façon de les utiliser. Deuxièmement, les témoins peuvent emmagasiner ou indexer des données personnelles, ce qui, au plan de la confidentialité, peut avoir des conséquences juridiques beaucoup plus graves que ne le croit la majorité.

In so doing, it also recognizes that risk management is much more than litigation management. It starts form the premise that we cannot manage what we have not identified.

Ainsi, il tient aussi compte du fait que la gestion des risques est beaucoup plus vaste que la gestion des litiges. Son principe de base est simple : il est impossible de gérer ce qu'on ne connaît pas encore. Établir des buts et des objectifs, déterminer les problèmes le plus rapidement possible, recueillir et reconnaître les renseignements pertinents, ainsi que déterminer les risques et y réagir constituent l'essence même de la gestion des risques juridiques. 2, record 21, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20de%20gestion%20des%20risques%20juridiques
