Search, Discovery, Storage, and Compliant Archiving
Monitoring employee communications within vendor-native or third-party archives
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake provides the ability to capture, analyze, search, and detect risk in its native storage while also supporting the ability to send full data enriched with analysis metadata to third-party systems including full reconciliation and the ability to view and review data sent to a 3rd party archive in Theta Lake via integration.
Classifying and categorizing content based on metadata and aligning to retention schedules
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake provides indexing, segmentation, and routing of content based on any metadata including app type, media type, location, user, group, and more with the ability to route to specific retention rules, durations and destinations including multi-geo based presentation archives in any country or region supported by S3 or Azure.

Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake has comprehensive search, including the use of timeline views, dashboard and trending views; visualization of data flows, data type reporting, etc. with full and granularly controlled legal hold with export and reporting capabilities.
Organizing search activity into saved searches, assignment to investigations/cases, and data export management
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake searches can be saved and used as routing rules across hundreds of search filters and attributes. Searches can be maintained and added to as a part of case management. Case management includes legal hold, data export, workflows and more.
Communications Supervision, Surveillance, and Proactive Monitoring
Proactively monitor communications against predefined lexicons
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake provides hundreds of built-in ML and NLP-based detections, the ability for customers to use keywords and lexicons, the ability for customers to add or import their own existing lexicons, and the ability to combine any or all of those as well as any search attributes into compound detection rules.
Support for multiple languages
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake supports capture, archiving, search, and custom detections for content in any language. Additionally, Theta Lake supports over 10 languages for automatic transcription, translation, and multi language classifier based detections.
Automating proactive monitoring, alerting and tagging
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake monitors for both risk in communications and configuration drift in workstream systems using ML, Lexicon, or compound detection rules. Users can review, tag and route content based on detections and alerts.
Integration of data models, including large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP) for proactive monitoring beyond lexicon-based rules
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake has patented, purpose-built models with detailed explainability overviews that do not rely on customer data and are fully private using high quality synthetic data to power its built-in detections. These detections also have built-in efficacy reporting exposed to customers in the product itself.
Assessing communications for sentiment, tone and other behavioral analytics, typically using AI/ML
Theta Lake Capabilities: Theta Lake ML-based detections for compliance, workplace, and other items of interest or risk include detections built around tone, context, and implied intent using the rich, complete data where only Theta Lake has provable reconciliation of completeness and understanding across all modalities.
Real-time interaction with communication tools to provide immediate feedback and remediation of employee actions
