Pick your industry, see what it takes off your desk

Release on deadline without cutting corners. Redactor bulk-redacts body-cam and CCTV video, codes every decision to an exemption, and handles proprietary formats.

  • Meet release deadlines. Body-cam and CCTV video bulk-redacted for FOIA and state disclosure laws.
  • Code every decision. FOIA exemption codes attached to each redaction for legal defensibility.
  • Handle every source. Proprietary CCTV formats auto-rewrapped and processed without extra tools.

Clear the records queue instead of growing it. Redactor processes public-records requests at volume across agencies and strips faces and plates from street imagery.

  • Clear records queues. Public-records requests processed with bulk, policy-driven redaction.
  • Serve every agency. Airports, port authorities, and departments running shared workflows.
  • Protect street imagery. Faces and plates removed from dash-cam and street-level capture at scale.

De-identify once, then use the data everywhere. Redactor removes PHI from video, audio, and documents, and clears call archives in bulk.

  • De-identify deeply. PHI removed from video, audio, documents, and DICOM medical imaging.
  • Prepare for litigation. Hospital surveillance and records redacted against court deadlines.
  • Clean call archives. Bulk PHI removal from healthcare call-center recordings.

Take the PII out of the recording and keep the value in. Redactor strips card numbers, SSNs, and account details so recordings stay usable for analytics and QA.

  • Strip spoken PII. Card numbers, SSNs, and account details removed from calls, bilingual.
  • Enable data reuse. Recordings de-identified for analytics and resale compliance.
  • Hand off claims safely. Faces and PII removed from claim photos, video, and documents before they go to third-party claims processors.

Produce without exposure. Redactor redacts bodycam, CCTV, and records for production, shields juveniles, and hits bulk deadlines on medical files.

  • Produce safely. Bodycam, CCTV, and records redacted for discovery and production.
  • Shield juveniles. Faces of minors removed from school and public footage in civil cases.
  • Hit bulk deadlines. Thousands of medical-record PDFs redacted on litigation timelines.

Answer FOIA on time and keep students protected. Redactor de-identifies district and university records and removes juvenile faces from school footage.

  • Answer FOIA on time. University and district records redacted with multi-format intake.
  • Protect students. Juvenile faces removed from school CCTV before any release.
  • Stay FERPA-safe. Student records de-identified for sharing and compliance.

FAQ

AI redaction software, asked and answered

What can Redactor redact?

Faces, license plates, screens, spoken PII, and written PII across video, audio, images, and documents, including skewed and low-quality scans. PII redaction runs on single files or bulk queues alike.

Can it handle body cam, dash cam, and CCTV footage?

Yes. Video redaction at law-enforcement scale: body-worn camera, dash cam, CCTV, and interview-room recordings, processed in bulk for FOIA and public records release alongside DEMS.

Which languages does audio redaction cover?

Spoken PII is detected in 82 languages with speaker diarization and court-ready transcripts, so bilingual calls and multilingual evidence do not slip through.

How do we know nothing was missed?

An optional agentic verification pass through AI Intelligence Hub re-checks the redacted output before release, and human review remains in the loop. Redacted copies ship while originals stay intact in custody, with a full audit trail.

Where does redaction run?

In your environment: cloud or on-premises. Sensitive source files never have to leave your security boundary to be redacted.

What is redaction software?

Redaction software permanently removes or obscures sensitive information from a file before it is released. Redactor covers video, audio, documents, and images, detecting faces, licence plates, spoken names, card numbers, and other identifiers, then burning the redaction into a release copy while the original stays untouched in custody.

What is the difference between redaction and removal?

Removal deletes content. Redaction produces a releasable copy with the sensitive parts obscured, while preserving the original and the record of what was changed and why. That distinction matters for FOIA and disclosure, where you must be able to show what was withheld and under which exemption.

What types of sensitive data can redaction software detect?

Faces, licence plates, weapons, screens and monitors, and on-screen text in video; spoken names, addresses, SSNs, card numbers, and account details in audio; and PII, PHI, and financial identifiers in documents and images.

Can redaction software redact video and audio, not just documents?

Yes. Redactor handles video, audio, documents, and images in one workflow, including body-worn camera, dash cam, CCTV, interview-room recordings, and call-centre audio, with objects tracked across frames rather than blurred one frame at a time.

Does redaction software work on scanned documents and image-based PDFs?

Yes. OCR reads scanned and image-based PDFs, including handwritten content, so text that is not machine-readable can still be found and redacted.

How does AI redaction compare with manual redaction?

Manual redaction runs at roughly real time per file and does not scale to a disclosure backlog. Redactor detects candidates automatically and presents them for human review, so a reviewer confirms and corrects rather than marking every frame by hand. The reviewer stays in control of what is released.

Can redaction software process files in bulk?

Yes. Bulk redaction runs across thousands of files, which is the normal shape of a FOIA or public records release rather than the exception.

How do you know a redaction cannot be reversed?

Redactions are burned into the released copy, not layered over it, so there is no underlying content to recover. The original is preserved separately with chain of custody intact, and the audit trail records who redacted what and when.

Which compliance standards should redaction software support?

FOIA and state public records law, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS are the common drivers. Redactor runs CJIS compliant deployments for criminal justice agencies and supports exemption coding so each redaction can be tied to the statute that justifies it.

Can redaction software run on-premises or in a private cloud?

Yes. Redactor deploys in your own cloud tenancy, on-premises, or in an air-gapped environment, so evidence and personal data never have to leave your boundary.
