E-Discovery and information governance software maker Exterro has purchased Jordan Lawrence, a provider of data privacy and information management software. The terms of the purchase were not disclosed.

Stephanie Simone filed this report for KMWorld:

With this acquisition, Exterro is poised to provide clients with the first fully integrated software platform for e-discovery, data privacy, security, and compliance.

The convergence of privacy, information governance, and e-discovery provides an opportunity for organizations to more effectively manage the many new and evolving data privacy and security regulations, such as CCPA and GDPR, while also addressing e-discovery needs under the FRCP, said Bobby Balachandran, CEO at Exterro.

With the combined technologies, domain expertise and track record of Exterro and Jordan Lawrence, clients will have, across all systems and resources, the requisite repeatable, defensible processes to:

  • Access, identify, and locate all responsive data
  • Assess, inventory and map their data
  • Manage, preserve, remove, collect or make portable their data
  • Document and manage the workflows associated with their data responsibilities and requirements.

Jordan Lawrence provides comprehensive privacy and information governance solutions that enable customers to manage their information compliantly, defensibly and cost effectively.
