Exterro Data Governance Software | Privacy, Retention & Compliance Automation

What proactive privacy and data governance looks like in practice

Exterro delivers continuous data insight, automated policy enforcement, and defensible execution in one integrated foundation, so organizations can govern data consistently, reduce risk by securing sensitive data, and prove compliance effortlessly.

Data Mapping and Categorization

Continuously map and classify enterprise data to understand what exists, where it lives, who owns it, and which regulations and policies apply.

Defensive Data Retention and Disposition

Enforce retention and deletion at scale so data is kept only as long as required and ROT data is defensibly disposed of to reduce risk and cost.

Data Subject Rights Management

Automate intake, discovery, fulfillment, and documentation of data subject requests to meet regulatory deadlines with accuracy and consistency.

Privacy Impact Assessments

Standardize and automate privacy impact assessments to identify high-risk processing activities and document compliance with global regulations.

Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)

Maintain continuously updated, regulator-ready records of processing activities grounded in live data, not static spreadsheets.

Consent and Preference Management

Propagate consent and preference decisions across third-party apps, automating the consent and preference lifecycle across your tech stack.

They ask the right questions—not just, ‘what’s your process, but how do your records relate to industry standards? To global standards?’ It puts you in a better position to defend your practices.

Paul Richardson

Director of Contracts and Compliance, Verra Mobility

We cannot sustain manual processes. We just don’t have the bandwidth. Now, with the Exterro platform, I have it all in one: an up-to-date data inventory with the retention schedules, and the platform just ties them together nicely.
