Exterro One E-Discovery

Exterro, Inc.

Legal teams face mounting pressure from mobile data now driving 75% of e-discovery cases while U.S. state privacy laws increasingly regulate digital information management. Traditional AI tools require data transfers to third-party vendors, creating security gaps and compliance risks that regulated industries cannot afford.

AI Agents Replace Manual Document Review

Exterro Intelligence deploys domain-specific AI agents that complete tasks in seconds rather than hours, accelerating workflows up to 400 times faster than manual approaches. The system can pre-process 100,000 documents per hour for queries while maintaining data within one secure environment throughout the review lifecycle.

Unlike competitor tools that rely on OpenAI, Exterro's approach eliminates data transfers between disconnected systems. The company maintains GDPR, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and HIPAA certifications to meet compliance standards for regulated industries.

"Our mission is to disrupt the status quo for protecting organizations from digital risk," said Bobby Balachandran, Exterro's founder and CEO. "While the rest of the industry focuses on using third-party models such as OpenAI as a wrapper for their artificial intelligence, or talking about the concept of agentic AI, we are delivering actual solutions that lower risk, reduce cost and increase speed, security, and control."

Flat-Fee Pricing Model

Exterro provides unlimited Q&A capabilities and includes the first matter with topic classification up to 250GB at no additional cost. This pricing model saves customers tens of thousands of dollars compared to vendors who charge per document or pass through fees from third-party providers.

The company's development team of over 500 engineers built the system to provide transparent, predictable pricing without hidden costs. Additional throughput and storage can be purchased as needed, giving customers complete cost visibility.

More AI Tools Coming This Year

Exterro plans to deploy over 15 agents across data privacy, governance, and digital forensics by the end of 2025. The current release focuses on e-discovery, with expansion across the entire Exterro risk platform planned throughout the year.

"By having nothing be transmitted, we don't train on any of our client data and we've been testing it with customers as part of that process," said Bruce Holbert, Senior Director for North American Channels. "What we've seen is the benefit is massive. Our ability to review a million documents in under 30 days— reducing by almost 400 percent in terms of that review process."

Research firm IDC validated the approach's security benefits. "This is one of the more advanced, agentic AI applications I've seen for managing data risks," said Ryan O'Leary, IDC's Research Director for Privacy and Legal Technology.
