Exterro, a leading data risk management software company, announced the launch of its updated Exterro Data Retention, the world’s most trusted solution for developing defensible global data retention schedules. With Exterro Data Retention, enterprises can streamline the implementation and maintenance of retention schedules across the entire organization, providing a clear audit trail and enabling users to easily communicate the retention schedule and its requirements to both internal and external stakeholders.
“The latest release of Exterro Data Retention will have a significant and immediate impact on businesses’ ability to retain control of their data,” said Bobby Balachandran, founder and CEO of Exterro. “This new, revolutionary solution offers unmatched comprehensive coverage, aligning over 750 types of records with retention regulations and best practices across more than 300 jurisdictions. The result is an intelligent, robust framework that enables organizations to establish a global retention schedule, adhering efficiently and effectively to the best practices for data retention. Additionally, through its powerful combination with Exterro Data Discovery, the solution automates the enforcement of data retention schedules across an organization’s entire data ecosystem.”
Exterro Data Retention is unique in its ability to capture a broad range of record types and personal and sensitive data, along with their context, and then map these records to precisely tailored retention rules to optimize data risk management. Its streamlined workflows and collaboration features save significant time for employees, enabling them to focus on higher-value activities. The solution draws upon a comprehensive regulatory library of US and international regulations and best practices that are easily actionable with the use of other tools in the Exterro platform. When coupled with Exterro Data Discovery, it also enhances data security with defensible deletion, intelligent reporting, and proactive alerts regarding retention and disposition obligations, significantly diminishing the risk of cyber breaches.
“The onslaught of new privacy laws and frequent updates drove us to take a closer look at the policies we needed to implement in order to have a consistent approach to data retention/disposition,” said Ree Harper, General Counsel and Sr. VP Human Resources at LyonsHR. “Exterro’s Data Retention solution has been a critical part of our overall data risk mitigation, privacy and compliance program. Maintaining a centralized approach to management and defining when data can be deleted has proved to be an important tool in our compliance toolbox.”
