Managing data retention, citizen privacy, and costs amidst digital overload.

Local government bodies face increasing pressure to manage data retention, protect citizen records, and reduce operational costs—all while meeting GDPR, UK data regulations, and FOI requirements. 

Decades of digital sprawl have created unstructured data lakes—driving up storage bills and exposing councils to unnecessary risk.

  • Rapidly surface and assess data risk across cloud, servers, and legacy platforms.
  • Locate and manage PII to maintain GDPR and FOI compliance.
  • Identify redundant and obsolete data driving unnecessary storage costs.

  • Lay the foundation for responsible AI adoption and improved citizen services.
