What Is Electronic Redaction?
Electronic redaction is the removal of sensitive content from electronic documents for safe, efficient distribution to courts, the media, customers,
vendors or any other audience not qualified to see the complete content. While it is a simple procedure, there are common mistakes with very
costly consequences. From the U.S. Military to Facebook, improper redaction has
landed companies and government agencies in a PR nightmare.
Important Tips for Electronic Redaction
- Metadata. Many companies have been tripped up by unseen content, called metadata, in their documents.
Redact-It does not transfer metadata to the final, redacted file so you don't have to worry about
document revisions (like Track Changes), comments, time stamps, or any other revealing or embarrassing hidden text.
- Removed, not covered. Most companies that make headlines through improper redaction made the same redaction error.
They thought covering the text with a drawing shape and converting the original document to PDF constituted redaction. It doesn't.
Redact-It doesn't just cover redacted content, it removes it. No revealing applications, hacking or clever tricks can
access the content because it simply isn't there.
- Logging is key. A good log provides a record of everything redacted, when and by whom. Redact-It keeps a detailed
log of each document that provides a clear accountability trail and proves due diligence was performed.
- Verify. Always double-check redactions. If possible, re-read the document to make sure no misspellings and word variations
were missed. Redact-It offers two methods of verification. The first steps reviewers through each redaction entity to verify
all text is fully covered (important for scanned documents) and that no over-redaction occured. The second is a focused view that helps reviewers
scan through the document a few lines at a time to check for any missed content still needing redaction. There is no substitute for the
human review.
- Efficiency.
Electronic redaction performed with the right tool makes your process not only more accurate, but more efficient. Redact-It
helps your staff redact one document or thousands of documents as quickly as possible while increasing accuracy.
Don't trust your sensitive content to just anyone. Try Redact-It today.
