Visit Website ↗ + Add to Compare Claim This CompanyOverview
Epiq, founded in 1988 and headquartered in New York, is a provider of legal and business services specializing in discovery, contract management, compliance and cyber response. Sources put its workforce between roughly 6,000 and 8,200 across six continents.
It is on this site because it acquired Canopy, a data-breach response software company, on September 25, 2026 to bring AI-assisted breach review in-house and integrate it into its Epiq AI suite.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Acquires technology to extend a service practice; no security product cadence to measure.
Provides breach-response legal and review services at scale.
Large global footprint, though cyber response is one line of a broader business.
Service-led incident response is a conventional model.
No independent evaluation of its cyber services was found.
Breach-notification and response demand is steady.
Why CISOs Should Care
Epiq combines legal, forensic and review services for breach response; the Canopy deal gives it its own technology for identifying exposed personal data.
What Makes It Different
A legal-services-led incident-response provider rather than a pure security vendor.
The Matrix Verdict
40/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
A scaled legal-and-business-services firm whose security relevance is its cyber response practice; this profile exists to track its Canopy acquisition.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Epiq is not a cybersecurity-native company; this profile reflects only its cyber response activity. Headcount figures vary by source.
