Does the vendor see my data during redaction?

In SaaS deployments, the content is handled inside the vendor's infrastructure during processing, so the vendor's access controls and audit logging are what protect it. In self-hosted or private cloud deployments, the data stays in the customer's environment, so vendor access is limited by the deployment boundary itself. Reviewing staff-access policies and audit logging is worthwhile in either case.

Does redacting license plates affect the evidentiary value of the footage?

Not when done correctly. A proper redaction platform preserves the original footage, generates a redacted copy for disclosure, and maintains a tamper-evident audit trail showing what was redacted and when. The unredacted original stays available for internal investigative use under the right access controls.

How does an S3-to-redacted-audio pipeline actually work?

The pipeline connects directly to your AWS S3 bucket, then:

  • Ingests recordings automatically based on filename patterns
  • Detects and redacts all PCI-sensitive audio
  • Exports clean recordings back to S3
  • Optionally deletes source files after processing

The result is a zero-touch workflow with no manual handoffs required.
