About this Webinar
By popular demand from XChange 2026 in Nashville, we're bringing this session to you.
Most organizations don't have a data strategy problem because they lack ambition — they have one because they don't actually know what data they hold, where it lives, or how sensitive it is. In this 45-minute replay webinar, Fahad Diwan and Rebecca Perry share the practical framework for building a defensible data strategy that they presented live at XChange 2026, plus a full look at Exterro OptiX360 in action.
You'll walk through the platform's three-tiered scanning approach — from a Surface Scan that maps and clusters your data sources, to a Metadata Scan that refines those clusters, to a Targeted Content Scan that classifies sensitive and regulated content in place. See how OptiX360 turns raw metadata into business-context clusters, recommends retention, protection, and access control policies, and surfaces data that's ready for defensible disposition — all while your raw content stays inside your own environment.
Why You Should Attend:
- See OptiX360's three-tiered scanning approach in action, live
- Get a practical framework for turning stale or untrustworthy inventories into a governed foundation
- Walk away with a concrete first step — whether you're starting from scratch or refining an existing program
Whether you attended XChange and want a second look, or missed it entirely, you'll leave with a clear path for turning data chaos into a governed, current foundation that legal, privacy, security, and IT can all work from.
