About Logikcull for DSARs
Difficulty locating relevant data is the leading reason DSAR deadlines slip. Logikcull connects directly to the systems where DSAR data lives, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack, and surfaces personal data automatically rather than requiring someone to already know where to look.
Where 86% of organisations still run this process without a dedicated tool, Logikcull gives legal, privacy, IT, and HR one defensible workflow to collect, review, and redact in bulk, in place of the spreadsheets and email threads this benchmark shows are still the default. More than 600 legal, IT, HR, and infosec teams already use it to respond to DSARs faster and more consistently.
