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.

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.
