Exterro Unveils ExPN to Equip Partners for Growth in the Evolving Data Risk Market

Exterro has introduced the Exterro Partner Network (ExPN), a global program aimed at helping partners deliver unified data risk management solutions across legal, compliance, and security workflows. With data-related threats and regulatory pressures intensifying, the new program offers a structured approach for partners to build recurring revenue streams while simplifying complex environments for end customers.

The program arrives at a time when many organizations are struggling to manage siloed tools across their data ecosystems. Exterro’s strategy with ExPN is to replace this fragmentation with a single, integrated platform that spans privacy, e-discovery, digital forensics, security, and governance. For partners, this means fewer product integrations to manage—and for customers, it means fewer gaps in their risk posture.

At the core of ExPN is a tiered model with defined paths to growth. Partners that invest in learning and selling the full Exterro suite gain access to resources beyond traditional channel programs. This includes joint planning sessions with Exterro executives, access to advanced enablement tools, certifications, and go-to-market support. Performance-based incentives are also built in to reward partners who deliver measurable results.

The launch is not only a commercial strategy shift for Exterro, but also a structural investment in partner success. The company has committed dedicated support for partners across North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. As part of the rollout, Exterro will conduct onboarding briefings and align go-to-market efforts with both new and existing channel participants.

ExPN is positioned as an answer to the limitations of traditional partner models that rely on multiple point tools. With organizations seeking more cohesive approaches to managing risk, Exterro’s unified platform offers a way for partners to consolidate services and deliver long-term value. The program reflects a broader market shift toward platforms that support strategic alignment between service providers and enterprise customers—especially in areas where legal, compliance, and cybersecurity requirements increasingly overlap.

Enabling MSS/MSSPs to Shift from Resellers to Strategic Advisors

Exterro’s ExPN program is designed to help MSPs move beyond transactional sales and into the role of long-term, strategic partners in data risk management. The company recognizes that today’s service providers are expected to do more than just deliver tools—they’re expected to advise on compliance, privacy, security, and risk mitigation. “We understand that today’s MSP/MSSPs want more than access to technology—they want to lead conversations around risk, compliance, and strategy,” notes Bruce Holbert, Senior Director, Channel Sales.

To support that shift, ExPN offers structured enablement: specialized certifications, advanced revenue training, brand-building support, and direct engagement with Exterro’s executive team. “Partners don’t just get tools—they get a framework to deepen client relationships, expand deal sizes, and advise across the entire data risk lifecycle. With unified capabilities across e-discovery, forensics, privacy, and compliance, our partners are empowered to show up with real strategic value—not just another product pitch,” Holbert emphasizes.

Helping Partners Differentiate in a Saturated Market

Standing out in a crowded field of security and compliance vendors is one of the biggest challenges facing regional MSSPs and MSPs. Exterro’s ExPN partner program directly addresses this by providing a unified platform that covers the full spectrum of data risk—from legal to forensics to privacy. “Instead of juggling multiple disconnected tools, partners can go to market with a single solution that simplifies operations, accelerates client outcomes, and reduces risk,” Holbert explains. This consolidation not only streamlines internal workflows but also creates a clear value proposition for customers looking to reduce complexity and cost.

Exterro points to service providers who are embedding its platform into their incident response retainers. “Rather than stitching together five or six tools to assess risk during a breach, they use Exterro to quickly understand what data was impacted, preserve evidence, and generate defensible reports—all within one platform.” This model not only improves response time but positions MSSPs and MSPs as critical partners in security and compliance engagements. For regional providers especially, ExPN is a chance to lead with strategy—not just software—and become trusted advisors in an increasingly high-stakes data environment.
