Guardians of Data: Unlocking the Power of Information Governance

A New Chapter in Smarter Data Management

When we announced our new identity as Arctera, I knew it was more than just a rebrand. It was a signal—one that reinforced our mission to simplify compliance, strengthen security, and empower businesses with smarter, more intuitive solutions. For those of us focused on Information Governance, this moment represents an exciting shift.

We’re no longer just keeping up with the evolving data landscape—we’re redefining how organizations govern their data with intelligence, efficiency, and control. Today, I want to take you deeper into Arctera Insight Information Governance, what makes it different, and why it matters to you.

The Challenge: A Universe of Data, a Galaxy of Risks

Managing data has never been more complex. Organizations are dealing with massive, unstructured data repositories, much of which is unknown, unused, and often classified as dark data—a hidden mix of critical business information, sensitive personal data, and compliance risks.

Think of Information Governance as the Guardians of the Galaxy—a team of multiple capabilities working together to defeat Ronan-like threats such as data privacy breaches, compliance violations, and security risks. But these challenges can’t be solved by fragmented tools or reactive approaches. Organizations need a proactive, intelligent, and scalable system that unifies governance, security, and compliance into a single strategy.

That’s exactly what Arctera Insight Information Governance is built for.

How Arctera Insight Information Governance Works

With a holistic approach, we don’t just organize your data—we illuminate, protect, and optimize it throughout its entire lifecycle.

Shedding Light on Dark Data

We autonomously uncover hidden repositories of unstructured data, applying AI-driven classification to identify sensitive information and compliance risks before they become problems.

Enforcing Compliance at the Source

Data governance isn’t just about archiving and deleting—it’s about controlling data where it lives. Arctera Insight applies policy-based governance directly at the source, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and corporate policies in real-time.

Lifecycle Management for Smarter Data Retention

We help organizations retain what’s valuable and dispose of what’s not, reducing storage bloat, lowering costs, and making compliance audits seamless. Our system automatically identifies stale, redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data, allowing organizations to archive, move, or purge content with confidence.

Innovations That Change the Game

Sensitive Data Governance

We use machine learning-powered classification to detect and remediate exposure of sensitive data—your most valuable information is protected, not exposed.

Behavior-Based Threat Detection

By monitoring and baselining user behavior, we surface anomalies that indicate potential data misuse or insider threats, helping you take action before issues escalate.

Autonomous Data Archival & Cleanup

Managing compliance doesn’t have to mean endless manual work. Our platform automates the archival and deletion of stale data, optimizing storage costs and reducing risk exposure.

Finding the Needle in the Haystack

With advanced search, you can instantly locate the right data across your entire ecosystem, turning once-disorganized data into a structured, actionable asset.
