The Pillars of Government Document Redaction

A redaction bar is nothing without complying with up-to-date privacy protection regulations. This discussion is on the essential components of government redactions.

FISMA Compliance

The Federal Information Security Modernization Act sets the standard for confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information, and redaction is one of the lines of defense for security and compliance in managing data.

FOIA Regulations

The Freedom of Information Act gives the public the right to request access to federal records. However, there are exemptions. Redaction covers critical areas, such as security and personal privacy, to prevent the consequences of a sensitive data leak.

OPRA Standards

The Open Public Records Act in the state of New Jersey allows for public access to government documents, so redactions defend the protection of confidential information while ensuring accessibility.

It’s Personal…

Redacting Personally Identifiable Information includes Social Security numbers, phone numbers, financial accounts, and personal addresses. Data anonymization protects the privacy of individuals.

It’s Just Business…

Confidential commercial information is protected under the FOIA. Competitive harm, including uncovering trade secrets or business plans, is alive and thriving, so staying well-versed in the complexities of CCI prevents the unauthorized release of protected information.
