From Data Chaos to Clarity - at Petabyte Scale.

Government agencies are responsible for vast, growing volumes of unstructured data - while operating under strict compliance, security, and public accountability requirements.  Lightning IQ brings speed, visibility and control to mission-critical agency data.
 
Scan petabytes.  Identify risk.  Respond faster.
All without moving your data.

Compliance starts with visibility.

You can’t secure - or produce - what you can’t see.  Lightning IQ gives agencies 100% visibility into unstructured data across legacy systems, on-prem storage, and cloud environments - in hours, not months:
  • Meet FOIA, litigation, and audit deadlines with confidence.
  • Identify PII, PHI, CJIS, and sensitive records instantly.
  • Create defensible, repeatable compliance workflows.
  • Maintain full chain of custody with in-place scanning.
From first scan to defensible insight - fast.

Search archives - lightning fast. 

Agencies are spending millions to retain searchable data for inactive users and legacy systems.  Lightning IQ changes that.
  • Reduce archive costs by 50–75%: Move offboarded user data out of expensive SaaS licenses into cloud object storage
  • Preserve full search capability: Vault-like search, preview, and export—without paying high per-user license fees
  • Keep data in your environment: Stored directly in your own cloud buckets for full control and compliance
  • Built for high-speed retrieval: Petabyte-scale indexing and search optimized for modern cloud infrastructure
Rapid search and retrieval across your local and cloud-based archives.

Reduce risk by the petabyte.

The fastest way to improve security isn’t just better defenses - it’s minimizing the confidential data inside your agency.  Lightning IQ helps agencies rapidly reduce their attack surface by identifying:
  • Dark data (files untouched for years).
  • Redundant and duplicate records (ROT).
  • Ownerless or orphaned data.
  • Sensitive data exposure across environments.
Eliminate blind spots. Strengthen your compliance posture.

AI readiness for the mission ahead.

AI initiatives in government depend on one thing: data quality.  Lightning IQ transforms unstructured data into clean, structured, AI-ready datasets by:
  • Identifying sensitive data before ingestion.
  • Removing duplicates and low-value content.
  • Structuring data pipelines for downstream system.
Better data. Better models. Better outcome
