Overview
Exterro is a comprehensive software platform designed to streamline and automate various aspects of e-discovery, data management, digital forensics, privacy, and cybersecurity compliance. Here’s an overview of what the product does and its key features:
E-Discovery Automation
Exterro’s e-discovery solutions orchestrate and automate the entire e-discovery review process, significantly reducing time and costs. The Exterro Review product, for instance, automates the e-discovery review process, allowing users to configure the process according to the unique needs of each project. It leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to accelerate the time to review and ensures unparalleled security protections.
Data Management and Security
Exterro E-Discovery Data Management integrates with existing IT infrastructure to help legal teams quickly, inexpensively, and defensibly manage electronic discovery data. Key features include:
- AI-Powered Early Case Assessment: Uses AI to identify and investigate responsive data across custodians and data sources.
- Single-Instance Storage and Global Labeling: Allows for real-time global labeling of documents across multiple matters, reducing the risk of producing sensitive documents and saving time and costs.
- Fast and Powerful Document Review: Conducts document review and production in-house or with outside counsel, using AI to guide reviewers to the most relevant unreviewed documents.
Data Discovery and Privacy
Exterro Data Discovery empowers organizations to maintain a secure data security posture by automating critical data security processes. This includes:
- Automated Data Mapping: Creates a comprehensive data catalog, including “dark” or “shadow” data, with minimal manual intervention.
- Detection of ROT Data: Identifies redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data, enabling data minimization practices and secure deletion or anonymization.
- Access Management and Least Privilege Enforcement: Monitors, reviews, and controls data access permissions, enforcing the least privilege principle to reduce potential data breaches.
- Data Subject Access Request: Streamlines the process of verifying identities, discovering data, redacting or deleting data, and generating defensible reports.
Digital Forensics
Exterro’s Digital Forensics Suite, including the FTK Suite, is trusted by law enforcement, public agencies, and private enterprises for forensic collection, processing, and analysis. It accelerates case resolution and time to justice, conducting investigations in zero-trust environments efficiently.
AI-Enabled Workflows
Exterro Assist, the industry’s first Gen-AI-based workflow assistant, enhances efficiency by up to 5x. It enables real-time searches, reporting, and analytics on Exterro data, maintaining high standards of privacy and security through cutting-edge Gen-AI technology.
Compliance and Governance
Exterro’s solutions help organizations establish, monitor, and maintain defensible privacy and data governance programs. The Data Privacy, Security, and Governance Suite minimizes data risk, while the Cybersecurity Compliance Suite mitigates risk and responds to regulatory requirements for data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents. The platform also includes tools for managing data retention and creating a record of processing activities (RoPA) to comply with global privacy regulations.
Public Sector Solutions
Exterro provides specialized solutions for the public sector, including FedRAMP-compliant e-discovery and security-hardened forensic investigation tools. These solutions optimize constituent service delivery, accelerate case resolution, and streamline FOIA and Public Records Request (PRR) processes using AI technology.
Conclusion
In summary, Exterro offers a robust and integrated platform that automates and optimizes e-discovery, data management, digital forensics, privacy, and cybersecurity compliance, leveraging advanced AI and security features to ensure efficiency, security, and compliance across various sectors.
