Exterro Launches Data Xposure: A Podcast by and for Data Risk Leaders

In today’s digital enterprise, data is both your most valuable asset and your greatest liability. Breaches, investigations, and compliance demands are evolving faster than most organizations can keep up — and the stakes for legal, privacy, compliance, and security leaders have never been higher.

That’s why Exterro is launching Data Xposure, the industry’s first podcast led entirely by practitioners on the front lines of managing data risk. No marketing fluff. No vendor spin. Just real-world stories, candid conversations, and actionable insights from leaders who have been there, solved that — and learned from the mistakes along the way.

The Conversations You’re Not Hearing Anywhere Else

Too often, discussions about data risk happen behind closed doors. Data Xposure opens them up, bringing enterprise professionals together across legal, forensics, governance, and IT to dissect what’s really going wrong — and right — inside the modern data ecosystem.

Our hosts aren’t just moderators; they’re seasoned experts themselves:

• Jenny Hamilton, Chief Legal Officer at Exterro and former global head of e-discovery at John Deere
• Justin Tolman, digital forensics SME and former law enforcement investigator
• Fahad Diwan, privacy attorney turned data governance leader

Together, they surface the operational pressures, strategic missteps, and breakthrough approaches that determine whether organizations withstand a crisis or become tomorrow’s headline.

FAQ: Inside the Prerelease Episode

Our debut “Inside Data Exposure: Meet Your Hosts, Learn the Mission” is a behind-the-scenes conversation with your hosts about why Data Xposure exists — and why now is the moment for this conversation.

Q: Why launch this podcast now?
Fahad Diwan: “We’re in the fourth industrial revolution. AI is touching every department, and with it comes risk that spans the entire organization — not just IT or privacy teams. Managing it requires cross-department collaboration.”

Q: What’s the biggest misconception companies have about data risk?
Jenny Hamilton: “That they’ll have time to catch up. Risk starts the moment you start collecting data — you have to design guardrails in from day one. Waiting for the ‘right time’ to fix it almost never works.”

Q: How does forensics fit into the big picture?
Justin Tolman: “If you aren’t retaining data, it can’t be lost or used against you. Forensics is about building the timeline of what happened, and that starts with good information governance.”

Q: What can listeners expect in each episode?

• A timely event or hot topic in legal, compliance, digital forensics, or privacy that sparks the discussion
• Candid conversations with data leaders — from GCs to CISOs — about what happened, why, and what it means for your organization.
• A “reset moment” that turns lessons learned into actionable steps for your own work.

Meet the Guests Shaping Season One

The debut season features powerhouse guests tackling today’s most urgent data risk challenges:

• Cecilia Ziniti, CEO of GC AI and three-time General Counsel, on how AI is reshaping the legal function — and how to balance innovation with defensibility.
• John Wilson, CISO at HaystackID, on the forensic lessons from one of the year’s largest breaches and what true “forensic readiness” looks like.
• Justine Phillips, Partner at Baker McKenzie, on the national security implications of Executive Order 14117 and the compliance challenges it creates for global enterprises.

Why Listen

Every other week, Data Xposure connects the dots between breaking news, operational reality, and strategic readiness. You’ll hear how real teams navigated high-pressure situations, the mistakes they wish they’d avoided, and the practices that helped them succeed.

If your role demands you reduce organizational risk, ensure compliance, and keep your business one step ahead of evolving threats, Data Xposure will give you the insight — and peer perspective — you can’t afford to miss.
