Why Exterro
Information Security

All Your Data Sources. One Secure Platform.

Exterro brings Information Security leaders a unified way to find, analyze, and protect enterprise data built on a deep understanding of all the data you hold and the obligations associated with it.

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. Powered by a live data catalog, the Exterro Data Risk Management Platform turns sprawling data repositories into an organized system you can govern and secure.

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 Exterro Works for Information Security Professionals

Exterro empowers information security professionals by unifying data discovery and governance into a single, actionable framework. By bridging the gap between security, legal, and privacy teams, the platform transforms raw data visibility into a proactive IS strategy.

Full Data Visibility
Exterro discovers and catalogs high-value repositories, giving security teams a single, authoritative view of where data resides, who owns it, and how it’s classified. This visibility forms the foundation for every security, privacy, and compliance decision.
Defensible Deletion
Exterro identifies redundant, obsolete, or trivial data and enables governed deletion with full evidence capture. This minimizes the breach blast radius, reduces eDiscovery and storage costs, and strengthens compliance with data minimization mandates.
Audit-Ready Incident Response
 The same data catalog provides lineage and context for sensitive or regulated information, generating audit-ready logs and reports automatically. When incidents occur, teams can immediately locate affected data, coordinate legal holds, and act with confidence across departments.
Why Exterro is different

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.
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.
