Working out exactly what personal information was exposed in a data breach, and whose, is the slow middle step of incident response. Epiq has bought a platform built to automate it.
The legal technology and services company has acquired Canopy, a data breach response technology company and longstanding Epiq partner.
Canopy's patented platform assesses exposed data, detects sensitive information and identifies the individuals affected. Its Auto Review feature uses agentic AI to automate first-level data mining review.
That allows review teams to move directly from culling the data set to quality control, according to Epiq.
The platform will be integrated into Epiq AI, the company's agentic AI solutions suite. It will be accessible through the Epiq Service Cloud, a legal technology and services platform that gives clients access to its cyber solutions.
Canopy engineers and cyber response specialists join Epiq to work on Epiq AI for Cyber. Former Canopy Chief Operating Officer Adi Elliott becomes Vice President, Product Management, Cyber.
"Canopy was built to support organisations in understanding the scope and impact of a cyber incident and responding with greater speed and confidence," Elliott said.
Scott Berger, Senior Vice President, Managed Services and Cyber Solutions at Epiq, said clients would get "a more connected breach response experience".
Epiq says it works with more than 87 per cent of breach counsel and over 70 per cent of cyber insurers. It supports more than 1800 cyber incidents a year.
The company claims up to 95 per cent data reduction using AI, and capacity for up to 2 million notifications per day.
