Every matter.
Everywhere.
In a single scan.


Pinpoint and classify every matter file outside your DMS using your firm's intake and billing data to eliminate matter-related risk and cost.

Your matters don't just live in the DMS.

Governance shouldn't stop at your DMS. Every matter results in files being created and stored across SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, file shares, and email, creating terabytes of dark data that put your firm at risk.
number-1

Matter data is everywhere

Up to 80% of matter content sits outside your DMS, rapidly proliferating with every email, Teams message, and copied file.
number-2

Searching one matter at a time doesn't scale

Existing approaches require a search per matter. Firms have hundreds of thousands of matters. None of it scales.
number-3

Manual processes can't keep pace

Even when files are found outside the DMS, each one needs to be confirmed and correlated to a matter, creating firefighting instead of active, ongoing governance.
number-4

The stakes keep rising

AI initiatives are accelerating and need clean data. Client audits and OCGs are more stringent and frequent. Attorney mobility is constant. The cost of inaction has hit a tipping point.

How MatterID finds matters no one else can.

Most discovery tools can plug into a repository and surface content. None integrate with your firm's systems of record data to build a custom identification model and apply that intelligence across every unstructured repository to match content with it's associated matter. MatterID does.

Systems of Record

Your matter intake, time, and billing system.

MatterID

ActiveNav Cloud scans, scores, and classifies content to your matter records.
One scan. Every repository. All your matters.

Integrate with your systems of record data

With MatterID, ActiveNav Cloud uses your firm's matter intake, time, and billing system data to intelligently discover matters outside the DMS.

Scan every repository

File shares, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, iManage, NetDocuments, Exchange, and more. Connect to every platform your firm uses at petabyte scale.

Match content to matters

Using metadata, content, and your firm's own identifiers, each discovered file is classified and matched to its associated matter.

Matter-level insights and defensible decisions

Instantly filter, review, and prepare your firm's most critical data for disposition.

Already covered? Not for matters.

Varonis and Microsoft Purview can’t find your matters. MatterID can.

 

Security and compliance tools classify sensitive data types, but they don’t know what a matter is. Neither Varonis nor Purview connects to your firm’s intake, time, and billing systems, and neither classifies content inside iManage or NetDocuments by client matter. That leaves matter content outside the DMS, your largest source of risk, invisible to the tools you already own.

MatterID doesn't replace Varonis or Purview. It complements them, adding the one thing neither can see: your matter.

vs. Varonis

ActiveNav Cloud + MatterID vs. Varonis

Varonis is built for data security posture management, not legal matter identification and classification. MatterID classifies dark data against your matter inventory with a confidence score, giving your IG team complete information to act on the data that matters most.

vs. Microsoft Purview

ActiveNav Cloud + MatterID vs. Microsoft Purview

Purview does its job for M365 compliance but stops at the Microsoft boundary. It classifies sensitive information types, not the matter files that carry your firm’s real risk. Purview's Copilot controls protect what's already inside the Microsoft stack, but they don't reach the matter content that never made it there. MatterID extends governance to every repository your matters live in.
