History

Nuix was founded in 2000 with the goal to "make vast quantities of unstructured data easily searchable". From 2006, the company grew from just two developers to more than 400 employees.
In 2010 Nuix was awarded a five-year contract by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2014 the company was appointed an Industry Partner of the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats. In 2017, the Nuix Board of Directors appointed Rod Vawdrey to the position of Chief Executive Officer.

Technology and products

Nuix markets eDiscovery, digital investigation, security & intelligence and information governance solutions based on the Nuix Engine. The Nuix Engine combines load balancing, fault tolerance and processing technologies to provide insights from large volumes of unstructured, semi-structured and structured data. Several features of the Nuix Engine were granted a patent in 2011.
In November 2016, Nuix announced a new analysis platform called Nuix Insight Analytics & Intelligence and an endpoint security product, Nuix Insight Adaptive Security, that integrates cybersecurity threat prevention, detection, response, remediation, and deception.

Uses

Nuix donated software licences and training to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, who used Nuix to investigate the Offshore Leaks data.
Süddeutsche Zeitung and the ICIJ also used it to analyze the "Panama Papers". Using Nuix's software, the Panama Papers investigation team made 2.6 terabytes of scanned documents text-searchable and extracted metadata that helped journalists cross-reference people, places and business entities across these documents.

In October 2015, Nuix reported that it had raised more than $250,000 for Room to Read from its philanthropic product Proof Finder.
