What challenges do information security leaders face?

Information security leaders face challenges including redundant, obsolete, and trivial data that inflates attack surface and breach impact; myriad unstructured data sources across M365, Slack, Google, Box, AWS, and file shares; inconsistent policy enforcement; and multi-vendor confusion that creates more consoles and handoffs.

How does Exterro help information security professionals?

Exterro empowers information security professionals by providing full data visibility across repositories, enabling defensible deletion of redundant or obsolete data with evidence capture, and supporting audit-ready incident response with immediate data location and legal hold coordination.

Your challenges

Solving the problems information security leaders face.

Exterro helps security leaders reduce data risk at its source. We find where sensitive and unmapped data lives across your environment, analyze its risk and obligations, and protect the business by acting on it—applying retention, legal hold, and defensible disposition—on a single platform.

Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial Data

Over-retained ROT data inflates both attack surface and data breach impact, as well as regulatory and legal exposure.

Myriad Unstructured Data Sources

Risk rises when you can’t see what sits in unstructured repositories across M365, Slack, Google, Box, AWS, and file shares.

Inconsistent Policy Enforcement

Audits demand evidence of policy enforcement—what was retained or deleted, where, and when—but manual tracking is time-consuming and error-prone.

Multi-vendor Confusion

Multi-vendor stacks create more consoles, retraining, and handoffs when speed matters most, especially when involving additional teams like privacy and legal.

How we help you

Defensible Deletion

Exterro identifies redundant, obsolete, or trivial data and enables governed deletion with full evidence capture.

When incidents occur, teams can immediately locate affected data, coordinate legal holds, and act with confidence across departments.

how we are different

Comprehensive data management without gaps.

Exterro treats data management as a unified discipline rather than a series of disconnected tasks. By consolidating security, legal, and privacy functions into a single ecosystem, you can eliminate the "silo tax" of manual handoffs and redundant software.

Unified Platform Across Teams

Exterro brings Security, Privacy, and Legal together on one backbone, ensuring everyone acts from the same source of truth instead of juggling disconnected tools.

Single-Vendor Simplicity

One platform means fewer integrations to manage, less retraining, and consistent workflows that reduce change-management burden and vendor friction.

Regulator-Ready Defensibility

Every action—request, assessment, or consent update—is tracked, timestamped, and exportable as proof of compliance for regulatory reporting or in-house audits.

Scalable by Design

Because the platform is modular, organizations can start with data minimization and expand into digital forensics, legal hold, eDiscovery, and DSAR as their programs mature.

Use Cases

Built for a variety of information governance use cases.

From data mapping and defensible deletion to supporting legal and privacy teams around litigation and compliance, explore the use cases that Exterro can help you work smarter.
