    The Lightning IQ platform makes the impossible, possible, with its revolutionary design and performance - capable of mapping and indexing petabytes of metadata and full-text in hours.

    Blistering speed

    Scan and index petabytes of metadata and full-text in hours. Transform your data driven initiatives and go from data chaos to data quality across your entire enterprise.
     

    Innovative architecture

    Distributed, event-driven, asynchronous and stateless micro-services deliver best-in-class performance and provide a platform for rapid innovation.
     

     

    High-risk data identification

    Quickly identify ROT, find PII, and/or the location of confidential or critical intellectual property.
     

    Effortless deployment

    Fully automated deployment both on-prem or in the cloud eliminates the time-consuming, error-prone "configuration" typically associated with data scanning.
     

     

    AI-Readiness 

    Lightning IQ scans petabytes of enterprise data to uncover hidden risks - across file shares, cloud drives, and legacy systems - before they become AI liabilities.
     

    Terabytes in minutes; petabytes in hours

    Scale up and down - horizontally and vertically - as needed. No drive too small, no network cluster too big for Lightning IQ.

Empowering EMEA Service Providers with Lightning IQ.  
The Lightning IQ Partner Programme is designed to revolutionise how you deliver next generation data services.
LIQ Analytics Report Black 2

Partner with Lightning IQ to lead in compliance, cost control and data clarity.

European enterprises are facing a data crisis. Explosive growth, distributed environments, and tightening regulation are converging. Most discovery platforms were never built for this volume or complexity. Most partners are still offering services based on legacy assumptions. 

The Lightning IQ Partner Programme is for integrators, MSPs and consultants ready to take on what legacy tools cannot. We help you deliver recurring, high-value services across governance, compliance and operational resilience, by providing real-time visibility across petabyte-scale unstructured data.  
 

Built for enterprise-scale, real-time insight.

Lightning IQ gives your team and your clients visibility where none previously existed. No copying. No vendor lock-in. No proprietary dependencies.
  • Index over a petabyte per hour using NFS, SMB and S3.
  • Work across multi-vendor storage, both cloud and on-prem.
  • Discover ROT, duplicates and unclassified sensitive data.
  • Classify for GDPR, DORA, NIS2, ESG and AI readiness.
  • Fully agentless, fully deployable on-prem, no call-home.

Build services that deliver strategic value.

Your clients don’t need more alerts or reports. They need evidence, control and reduction of risk. Lightning IQ enables you to offer outcome-led services that cut through the noise.
  • Data hygiene as-a-service 
    Identify and remove redundant or obsolete files to reduce cost, reclaim capacity and simplify governance. 
  • Operational resilience reviews 
    Show clients which data is business-critical before disaster strikes. Deliver structured insight for realistic recovery planning. 
  • Compliance alignment 
    Surface sensitive data for privacy compliance, enforce retention policies, and support audit readiness with daily reporting. 
  • Billing and attribution 
    Provide per-client or per-department storage views to support chargeback, data ownership and accountability. 
  • AI and ESG data preparation 
    Clean, classify and track unstructured data to feed into machine learning pipelines or ESG reporting frameworks. 
 

Solve problems that legacy tools cannot.

Most platforms were built for gigabytes, not petabytes. They struggle with speed, scale and silos. Lightning IQ is different.
  • Works on live storage without moving data.
  • Scans every day, not every quarter.
  • Delivers actions, not just visibility.
  • Operates across vendors with no proprietary footprint.
  • Designed for compliance-grade control at enterprise scale.
Where legacy eDiscovery tools fail, Lightning IQ succeeds. Where storage-native tools fall short, Lightning IQ connects the gaps.

Real world outcomes.

  • A global bank now scans 7PB daily across 30+ apps, meeting DORA requirements. 
  • A UK law enforcement agency reclaimed 400 million duplicates from a Nutanix cluster.
  • A hosting provider recovered billing accuracy across 45PB and seven data centres.
  • Enterprise teams use Lightning IQ to prevent sensitive data from feeding into AI models unlabelled and ungoverned.
     
 
These are challenges no legacy platform could address at this speed, across this scale.
