The problems we hear from leaders like you
Legal holds must be fast, accurate, and traceable—but manual processes often create serious compliance exposure.
Inefficient notification workflows
Teams rely on emails, spreadsheets, and reminders to manage legal holds, making the entire process slow and inconsistent. Important notices may be missed or delayed.
Poor acknowledgement tracking
Most organizations lack a clear way to confirm who has received, read, and acted on a legal hold. This makes it difficult to prove compliance during audits or litigation.
High risk of accidental data deletion
Without automated monitoring, custodians may unknowingly modify or delete relevant data, leading to legal exposure and increased discovery costs.
Limited audit readiness
Manual logs, outdated spreadsheets, and inconsistent documentation make it difficult to produce defensible records, especially when legal holds span months or years.
