What Hanzo is

Hanzo is a data preservation and review platform for enterprise legal and compliance teams. It helps teams find, collect, preserve, and analyze information for audits, investigations, data subject access requests, and litigation. Its products cover different parts of that work: Chronicle preserves website and social media content, Illuminate supports discovery and review across email and collaboration platforms, and Spotlight AI interprets context, sentiment, and relationships while recording why content was surfaced. Chronicle can capture dynamic and personalized content, including authenticated journeys, calculators, and filtered data. Illuminate can preserve information in place across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Jira, and Confluence. Hanzo also lists Asana, GitHub, email, web, social media, and internal SaaS tools among its supported data sources. Customers can request a one-time collection or set up ongoing collection, with filters to limit overcollection; automated redaction is available. Hanzo says stored customer information is encrypted with unique 256-bit keys and that it achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification in October 2019. Chronicle retains data according to customer instructions. Illuminate deletes data when a legal hold or compliance obligation ends and keeps an audit record. The service is available on the web and as self-hosted software. Pricing is on request.
