About the product
Exterro is a data risk management platform that unifies ediscovery, legal hold, digital forensics, data privacy and information governance for corporate legal, privacy and security teams. Backed by Leeds Equity Partners and built through acquisitions including AccessData and Zapproved, it consolidates work normally scattered across separate vendors, spreadsheets and outside counsel.
Key features of Exterro include:
- Legal Hold And Preservation: Automates custodian notices, reminders, interviews and release, built on the Zapproved technology Exterro acquired, with a full audit trail for defensibility.
- Ediscovery Data Management: The eDiscovery Data Management module collects, processes and culls data from more than 190 native sources for early case assessment before review begins.
- AI-Powered Review: Predictive coding, clustering and source-linked AI answers with audit logs cut document populations and speed first-pass responsiveness and privilege decisions.
- FTK Digital Forensics: The AccessData Forensic Toolkit line, including FTK Central and FTK Enterprise, supports remote endpoint collection and investigation of devices and cloud accounts.
- Privacy And Data Governance: RoPA Manager, Assessments Manager, Data Subject Rights Manager and retention tools operationalise GDPR and CCPA duties against the same data inventory.
Best for: Large corporate legal, privacy and security teams in regulated industries that want to bring preservation, collection, review and privacy compliance in-house.
Exterro lets a legal department govern the full data lifecycle from one platform, reducing reliance on outside ediscovery vendors, shrinking review populations and evidencing a defensible process to regulators and courts.
