Rational Governance
New York, New York, United States
What it is
Rational Governance manages unstructured data where it is held, with tools for risk control, operational efficiency, and enterprise knowledge. It scans and ingests information to create a searchable index of text and metadata, supporting file analysis, records management, compliance, privacy, security, and discovery response. Search combines machine-learning output with regular expressions, text operators, metadata recognition, Active Directory integration, statistical sampling, and visualizations. The platform also includes supervised classification and unsupervised clustering. Administrators can set lifecycle actions to preserve, collect, retain, delete, move, or copy data, and to monitor and alert. Permissions govern user access, while actions and system health checks can be audited, reported, scheduled, and automated. Deployment options include a company firewall or Google Cloud Platform, AWS, and Microsoft Azure. Security features include encryption in transit and at rest, SAML 2.0, OAuth, and jurisdictional storage. The platform integrates with Rational Review and can export standard load-file formats. Pricing is on request.
