Redaction: Privacy & Protection Made Easy

Redaction Made Easy

IRISXtract™ Solution

Intro

Redaction is the process of blacking out, hiding, blocking, or censoring content to remove sensitive or confidential information. Many businesses rely on redaction as an essential daily task. This protection of information can play a crucial role in business for several reasons:

  • Protecting Confidential Information
  • Compliance Requirements
  • Legal Obligations
  • Risk Management
  • Preservation of business relationships

Regardless of why redaction is used or planned for use, clients typically have limited options. These options are often underwhelming and can lead to unforeseen issues that could be easily avoided. If you use intelligent capture, it’s worth exploring whether your technology can assist!

With the power of IRISXtract™, redaction becomes not only easy but also applicable in several different ways. Stop outsourcing this task and relying on technology that limits your capabilities. Technology should always benefit its clients, not hold them back. Let’s examine some of the ways intelligent capture from IRISXtract™ can simplify this process.

 

Solution Offering

IRISXtract™ not only automatically redacts areas, images, fields, and barcodes, but it also allows users to interact if desired to optimize the process. By interacting within the pages of a document, users can select which other fields they wish to redact, un-redact, or train words or phrases for redaction for system learning purposes. Leveraging intelligent capture with redaction enables businesses to enjoy a new level of benefits. With AI-built classification, our redaction solutions also include index fields that optionally do not need redaction. Additional features of our redaction solutions can be accessed from within our verification GUI, Verify.

Our redaction capabilities extend beyond phrases or words. For instance, if only the last 4 digits of a Social Security number need to be redacted, there’s no issue! IRISXtract™ not only distinguishes what to capture and redact, thanks to its superior intelligent capture technology, but it also offers this capability based on rules. One straightforward method of implementing such rules involves using a table where a user can specify to redact specific fields’ last four characters (L4) or employ other rules such as redacting the first three characters (F3). These values are fully customizable to the user, and the capability is incredibly powerful!Example of IRISXtract Redaction Rules

Safeguard your Information

Redaction plays a vital role in safeguarding sensitive information, ensuring compliance with regulations, mitigating risks, and maintaining trust in business relationships. Solutions utilizing IRISXtract™ Redaction also play a critical role in protecting data compliant with GDPR, personal injury protection(PIP), or other personal identifiable information (PII) compliances.

The need to redact is essential across various sectors where sensitive information is handled. Common practices that employ redaction include: Legal, Government, Human Resources, Healthcare, Finance, Insurance, Education, and more! These industries not only utilize redaction for critical needs but also emphasize the importance of the data they are protecting. With over 35 years in the document industry, we understand this more than anyone!

Convenient Output with Precision
