Case Study: Relativity achieves rapid threat detection and 24/7 peace of mind with Expel

Rapidly growing software company selects Expel as transparent managed security partner

Relativity, a fast‑growing e‑discovery software company that handles billions of sensitive documents through its RelativityOne SaaS, needed a trusted partner to monitor its environment 24x7 as it stood up a new security team (Calder7) under CSO Amanda Fennell. After evaluating managed security providers, Relativity selected Expel as its transparent managed security partner to provide continuous monitoring, incident investigation, and operational alignment with Relativity’s security vision.

Expel implemented 24x7 monitoring and transparent collaboration via tools like the Expel Workbench and direct Slack channels, enabling real‑time investigations and rapid mitigation (including a midnight incident where Expel and Relativity blocked activity before harm occurred). The partnership delivered faster detection and response, clear value for the money, on‑demand expertise, and cross‑industry insights—giving Relativity measurable operational improvements (faster incident resolution and prevented impact) and the peace of mind to focus on automation and proactive hunt missions.
