YOUR HUB FOR DOCUMENT REDACTION
What is document redaction?
Document redaction is the process of selectively masking and or removing information from document(s), typically to protect sensitive or confidential information. The purpose of redaction is to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information that is required to be kept confidential in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Document redaction plays a critical role in concealing personally identifiable information (PII), protected healthcare information (PHI), or confidential personal information (CPI). Redaction is most commonly used in legal, government, and healthcare industries.
There are many commonly used redaction methods that are incorrect. These incorrect methods do not properly conceal PII/PHI from documentation, allowing private and legally protected information to be exposed to the public. Our team of redaction specialist know the ins & outs of redaction. We redact your documents in line with compliance regulations and privacy laws ensuring the correct and secure redaction methods are used. Additionally, each redaction project includes complimentary data scrubbing and document sanitization to remove all metadata as required within privacy laws.
