Data Breach Review

Fast, defensible review for sensitive breach data

When a breach is suspected, legal, compliance, privacy, forensic, and response teams must quickly determine what data was exposed. Knovos Discovery helps legal teams manage risk with structure, speed, and defensibility when accuracy and accountability matter most.

Beyond document review

Breach response demands structure

A breach review is not just about finding exposed files. Teams must determine what data was affected, where it appeared, which individuals or entities may be impacted, whether regulated information such as PII is involved, and how every review decision was validated. Knovos Discovery brings review workflows, PII analytics, redaction, review rules, audit history, and reporting into one controlled environment.

Redact restricted content

Redact restricted content

Apply redactions and annotations to protect PII, privilege terms, confidential business content, and other restricted information before sharing.
Track progress and outcomes

Track progress and outcomes

Use review reports to monitor audit activity, daily status, productivity, workflow status, tag summary, privilege logs, redaction status, and progress.
AI-assisted breach review

AI-assisted speed, human-validated decisions

AI can support breach response by prioritizing documents, summarizing content, translating files, and predicting issue tags. Reviewers stay in control by validating AI-assisted outputs before any decision is applied.

Faster prioritization

AI Prioritized Review

Continuous Active Learning. As reviewers tag documents, the model learns, rescans, and ranks the most relevant files first, helping teams focus on likely responsive or high-risk material sooner.
Faster understanding

AI Assistant

Summarize, ask, translate. The AI Assistant summarizes documents or folders, answers content questions, and translates files. Hybrid search grounds responses in case material for sharper context.
Smarter issue review

Knovos Insight

Validate before you apply. Knovos Insight predicts tags and classifications from case prompts, showing excerpts, speculations, and confidence scores so reviewers validate every prediction.
Human validation

Reviewable AI Outputs

Decisions stay with reviewers. AI-assisted findings speed up triage, while review decisions remain human-validated. That matters most for notification, privilege, confidentiality, and regulated data review.
Purpose-built for breach

Defensible review, end to end

Advanced review workspace

Work through evidence in controlled batches

Review teams inspect documents in batches, apply tags, add comments and annotations, and move through large data sets with filtering and advanced search.

  • Batching, filtering, and advanced search across the population
  • Tagging, comments, and annotations on every document
  • Review Rules that standardize tagging, validation, and redaction checks

PII & regulated data analytics

See where sensitive data is concentrated

PII Analytics identifies 150+ PII types and provides stats, filters, and widgets that focus review on the documents carrying the highest risk.

  • Detects emails, phone numbers, credit cards, and SSNs.
  • Covers financial identifiers, government IDs, employee and customer data.
  • Stats, filters, and widgets that prioritize high-risk documents.

Protect restricted content before it moves

Redaction capabilities protect sensitive content before documents are shared, exported, or produced, so nothing leaves the workspace unguarded.

  • Redaction, inverse redaction, and annotation controls
  • Protect PII, privilege terms, and confidential business content
  • Validate redactions before sharing, regulatory review, or production
