When digital investigations hit a wall, the root cause is often hiding in plain sight: poor information governance.

In this episode of Data Xposure, brought to you by Exterro, host Justin Tolman sits down with Allan Buxton, Managing Director of Data Breach and Forensics at Epiq Global, to expose the real-world consequences of governance gaps in forensic investigations. From ballooning costs to missed evidence, Allan shares how the absence of structured data policies can cripple an organization's ability to respond swiftly and defensibly when an incident strikes.

You’ll learn what separates forensic-ready organizations from those flying blind, why outside experts often struggle to help without the right groundwork, and the tactical steps legal, compliance, and security leaders can take now to avoid chaos later. If your team touches incident response or e-discovery—even occasionally—this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
