Information Governance

Your Challenges

Keep up with your constantly evolving data environment.

Information governance professionals struggle to maintain a clear understanding of the data their organizations hold and the legal and regulatory obligations tied to it across complex on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Managing these environments with disconnected tools increases change management, retraining, and inefficiencies across teams.

Complex Data Retention Schedules

Retention schedules differ by jurisdiction and repository, making policy management fragmented and error-prone.

Classification and Enforcement Challenges

Classification and enforcement are inconsistent across M365, file shares, Slack, Google, Box, and S3.

Time-Consuming Manual Processes

Audits and regulator reviews require manual evidence-gathering that’s time-consuming and incomplete.

Conflicting Litigation Requirements

Legal Hold conflicts create hesitation around deletion and increase the risk of over-retention.

How we help you

How Exterro solves these challenges.

Full Data Visibility

Exterro discovers and catalogs enterprise repositories to deliver a single, authoritative view of records, owners, and classifications—eliminating guesswork and enabling policy to align with reality.

Retention Schedule Creation

Data Retention centralizes and maintains jurisdiction-aware rules for every record class and geography, providing one definitive, auditable retention schedule that’s easy to update and share across departments.

Retention Schedule Enforcement

Exterro links classifications to retention requirements and enforces them automatically, coordinating with Legal Hold to prevent spoliation.

Audit-Safe Disposition

Built-in logs and reports provide defensible proof of what was retained or deleted, making audits and regulatory reporting faster and less disruptive.

How we are different

Not a tool, but a solution.

Exterro meets the compliance and data management needs of information governance professionals in a purpose-built, unified platform powered by deep data insight.

Unified Policy + Enforcement

Exterro connects retention creation and enforcement on one backbone, ensuring Information Governance, Legal, and IT operate from the same source of truth.

Single-Vendor Simplicity

A unified platform eliminates tool fragmentation, streamlines change management, and reduces vendor friction compared to multi-tool patchworks.

Defensible by Design

Every classification, policy application, and deletion action generates a verifiable evidence trail to support compliance and audits.

Modular Growth Path

Organizations can start with policy and enforcement, then easily expand into legal hold, eDiscovery, DSAR, and digital forensics—without re-architecting their data governance foundation.

"Implementing our privacy program early, before the requirements became non-negotiable, was a way to position ourselves for success. And Exterro is helping us get there."
