Zubu

When a company gets sued, its most sensitive data gets copied into a vendor's cloud. The company pays to store data it already owns and takes on custody risk nobody wants. This has been standard practice for 20 years, and almost nobody asks why.
  

Zubu asked why.  

The company was founded by a veteran who spent a decade inside enterprise legal teams, at Salesforce and then building Coinbase's ediscovery program, watching the same failure repeat. The tooling was built for an email-only world, while the actual evidence moved to Slack threads, Google Doc version histories, Confluence pages, and now AI prompts and outputs. Legacy platforms can't see it. So legal teams copy everything and ship it out.  

Zubu's answer: the data never has to move.  

It starts with in-place preservation. The moment a hold issues, custodian data is protected exactly where it lives. There is no migration and no vendor custody, and when opposing counsel asks where the data has been, the answer is simple: it never left.  

When collection is required, Zubu collects with precision and delivers everything to the customer's own storage under the customer's own keys, a model Zubu calls Bring Your Own Bucket. Complete data sovereignty from hold through production, with third-party custody liability eliminated entirely.
  

The workflow moves at the same speed. Holds issue in minutes, custodians acknowledge with one click, and reminders and escalations run themselves. No appliances, no agents, no services engagement. What used to take weeks of cross-team coordination is now a same-day task for one person.  

And the coverage matches where work actually happens. Native connectors reach Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Confluence, Workday, Discord, and AI platforms, including the version histories and ephemeral content legacy tools miss. All of it SOC 2 Type 2 certified, with SSO and customer-controlled encryption.  

Zubu is in production with enterprise customers across fintech, banking, and technology, and partners with leading service providers including HaystackID and Alvarez & Marsal.

For decades, legal teams paid vendors to hold data they already owned. That era is ending. Your next matter can start with a hold, not a migration. The data never has to leave home. Come see why it never should have.
