Automated PII & PHI Redaction

The Liability of Manual Redaction

Manually drawing black boxes over Social Security numbers, financial account details, and Protected Health Information (PHI) using standard PDF editors is agonizingly slow. More importantly, it is highly dangerous. Doing it incorrectly often leaves hidden metadata and underlying text layers intact. A single accidental metadata leak in a public court filing can expose your firm to sanctions, malpractice exposure, and serious privacy violations.

Contextual, Offline Scrubbing

We reduce the human error and risk in the process. We run your medical records, transcripts, and exhibits through our localized redaction engine. Because our system runs offline on our own hardware, your documents are never sent to a third-party web service. The engine performs both structural sweeps (finding standard SSNs and dates) and contextual sweeps (identifying medical conditions and familial references) across thousands of pages in minutes.

Irreversible Protection

We deliver completely flattened PDFs. Our process permanently strips the underlying text bytes, so opposing counsel, the press, or public clerks cannot copy the redacted text from beneath the blackout boxes. Every batch is returned for your review before filing. Your firm remains the covered entity or business associate of record; we support your compliance obligations, and we are glad to execute a Business Associate Agreement where your matter requires one.
