Choose options for local data centers to align with your organisation’s specific data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.

Trusted Security Partner

RedactXpert® is powered by Simpson Associates, a Cyber Essentials Plus certified, ISO 27001 accredited, and JOSCAR registered organisation with security-cleared staff, ensuring the highest standards of data security.

Intelligent Automation

AI-Powered Precision

Redact sensitive data with intelligent AI assistance, saving significant time and resources whilst simultaneously ensuring greater accuracy and compliance. By harnessing the intelligence of Microsoft Azure AI to automatically identify and redact Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with accuracy, manual effort is reduced, and the risk of human error is minimised.

Enhanced Categorisation of Redaction Rules

Achieve granular control over the specific information that is redacted, tailoring the process to your unique needs.

You can define and refine your own AI redaction rules to identify and remove specific data patterns beyond standard PII. This includes extending PII classification types beyond traditional categories like names and addresses to include extended classification such as registration numbers, IP addresses, credit card details and more.

Handwritten Note Redaction

Handle a wide range of documents efficiently whilst maintaining data protection.

This AI tool can redact sensitive information even within scanned images of handwritten notes and documents, extending the power of automated redaction to previously challenging document types.

Workflow Efficiency

Document Management Tools

Ensure every document is perfectly prepared for AI redaction. RedactXpert® provides built-in tools for document rotation, deletion, and page management, giving you precise control and ensuring an optimised start to your redaction process.

Intuitive Document Flow & Live Redaction

Experience a truly natural document review process that prioritises your efficiency. RedactXpert® allows you to review entire documents at once, enabling you to scroll through content fluidly without the interruption of clicking through individual pages.

This intuitive design, coupled with the ability to redact information live as you read, makes the entire process incredibly efficient, empowering your team to work with greater speed and accuracy.

Enhanced Document Bundling

Organise and process numerous documents with ease, saving time and simplifying collaboration across your organisation.

Our solution empowers you to combine multiple documents into a single, searchable PDF, ideal for streamlined review and redaction, significantly improving workflow efficiency for large datasets, particularly beneficial for managing Subject Access requests (SAR’s) and Freedom of Information (FOI) processes, offering the flexibility to export and re-import documents as needed.

Effortless Email Redaction

Process and redact sensitive information within emails and their attachments with complete ease. Our AI redaction tool allows you to manage email redaction as part of your standard document workflow without the complex workarounds previously holding your redaction process back.

Manage the entire redaction approval process with an integrated workflow, ensuring critical governance and accountability at every stage.

Enhanced Search Capability

Quickly locate and redact sensitive data with AI, even within large volumes of text.

The built-in search functionality enables efficient identification and redaction of key terms across your documents, further accelerating the redaction process.

Pick Up Where You Left Off

Improve flexibility and reduce frustration, allowing for efficient collaboration and iterative redaction of your sensitive information.

Resume your AI redaction work exactly where you left off, even if legal requirements necessitate changes or reviews.

Review & Control

Manual Review & Approval

Combine the efficiency of AI document redaction with the precision of human oversight for optimal results and redaction success.

Maintain ultimate control with the ability to manually review and approve all AI-powered redactions, ensuring accuracy and alignment with your specific organisation requirements.

Configurable Retention Policies

You define the rules. Maintain complete control over your data’s lifecycle with RedactXpert’s® configurable retention policies.

This ensures sensitive information is never stored longer than necessary, minimising risk and simplifying compliance whilst perfectly aligning with your unique organisational needs.

Flexible Redaction Tools

Handle diverse document types and complex redaction scenarios with ease.

The option is available to either redact text directly or use the manual highlighting and box-drawing tools to redact specific regions, areas, or even images. This  complements AI-powered redaction for non-textual data, increasing flexibility.

Contextual Labelling

Maintain clarity and context within your redacted documents, even after sensitive information is removed. Our intelligent labeling feature allows you to replace specific data, such as a person’s name, with a generic identifier (e.g., “Subject A”). This ensures that your documents remain coherent and fully usable for reviewers and collaborators, streamlining post-redaction analysis without compromising privacy.

Revert Redactions

Minimise the risk of permanent errors and facilitate efficient collaboration and revisions.

Easily revert redactions for review and corrections, providing an added layer of flexibility and ensuring accuracy throughout the process.

File Size Control

Maintain complete control over your exported documents. RedactXpert® allows you to manage the size of redacted files, ensuring that they remain manageable for transfer, storage, and sharing.

This capability is crucial not only for sectors like policing with specific disclosure requirements, but also for legal and compliance teams handling large Subject Access Requests (SARs), Freedom of Information (FOI) responses, or eDiscovery. By optimising file sizes, you reduce storage costs, improve network performance, and streamline workflows across your organisation.

FOI Assurance Review

Simplify your Freedom of Information (FOI) response process and enhance accuracy in fulfilling information requests.

Specifically designed to support FOI requests, RedactXpert offers features to aid in quality assurance and ensure compliance with disclosure requirements.

Kate ThackerDetective Chief Superintendent at TOEX

Simpson Associates demonstrated that they were true experts in the field; within a few weeks they had a solid understanding of our business requirements and turned around an initial solution within an astonishingly quick timescale. From delivering the budget within a tight timeframe to supporting our learning and development, Simpson Associates has allowed us to become genuinely self-sufficient, sharing their knowledge and expertise at every step of our journey.

Gillian TroupGroup Financial Controller

Simpson Associates provided us with the expertise to see us through the design and the implementation phases and potential problems that we hit and got us through those. But they also understood our needs as a charity, the components that make up our data warehouse come partly from Microsoft, partly from other companies like Civica and Simpson Associates provided the glue to help us bring those together and get the best out of them.

Jon FoxAssociate Director of IT

Simpson Associates was dedicated to matching our brief, There was healthy debate of course but they always presented reasoned responses, or accommodated our wishes when needed. It’s a very flexible relationship and the synergy we’ve built is vital to the knowledge transfer process.

Neil Spreadbury Commercial Finance Officer

When looking at a solution to our redaction demands, we were keen not to incorporate a standalone point solution. RedactXpert stood out as its built on Microsoft Azure, and we particularly liked how Simpson Associates’ development of the software was done in close collaboration with Microsoft. Having already invested heavily in Microsoft technology, we wanted a solution that would work seamlessly across that environment. Not only does it benefit the teams needing to maintain and support the systems, but ensures a more user friendly and accessible platform for those officers using it.

Our ambition was to build a foundational data and AI platform that not only delivered immediate value but also enabled us to support and evolve sector-leading capabilities, skills, and confidence across the entire organisation.

We used to spend 90% of our time building reports, with only 10% of the time to make decisions based on the output. We often had conflicting reports and competing datasets.
