Innovative data scanning and processing software brings unheard of speed to global data governance, quality and security projects

Arlington, VA. December 17, 2024 – One Discovery, a leader in data scanning and processing software, today announced an expansion of their operations and immediate availability of their innovative One Discovery Lightning software platform in EMEA. This includes the firm’s benchmark shattering applications - Lightning eDiscovery and Lightning IQ – which help legal, governance and security teams make sense of massive amounts of data in record time.

“One Discovery Lightning can scan and process enterprise data at speeds previously unheard of,” said Rodriguez, “transforming timelines and outcomes associated with global data governance, quality and security initiatives. From lightning-fast ROT and dark data identification to the rapid assessment of data at risk or out of compliance – One Discovery can turn your 3-year ‘global data intelligence’ plans into a 2025 reality.”  

One Discovery’s EMEA expansion coincides with the appointment of Nick Pollard as Principal Consultant. Mr. Pollard brings 20 years of experience working in real-time investigation, legal and compliance workflows across highly regulated environments like banking, energy and healthcare as well as national security organizations. His nuanced understanding of EMEA specific data management challenges and regulatory requirements will help One Discovery expand their Lightning platform.  

“Unstructured data is one of the biggest challenges organisations face today—there’s too much of it, and nobody knows what’s valuable, what’s ROT, or what’s a compliance risk. One Discovery Lightning changes that. The speed and accuracy we bring to data scanning and processing mean businesses can finally get control of their data and act on it.” Said Pollard.

“I’m thrilled to be leading One Discovery’s expansion into EMEA. The region faces immense pressure with regulations like GDPR, NIS 2, and DORA, and businesses need tools that deliver clarity and results—not in years, but in days. Lightning is built to meet that demand head-on.”

Prior to joining One Discovery, Mr. Pollard served as the Director for Strategic Alliances at Nuix, where he led initiatives focused on enabling Data Transformation, Fraud and Data Discovery initiatives. He also held leadership positions at Guidance Software, CY4OR and eOrigin focusing on litigation, eDiscovery, early case assessment, investigation and cyber-security software.

Mr. Pollard is based in London, United Kingdom.
