Redaction - A Hot Topic

E-mail Print PDF

Redaction has become a hot topic for Organizations around the world who are under pressure by the public to show accountability and compliance with Privacy Act legislation & Freedom of Information (FOI) requests that require the Redaction of information.

The urgency surrounding redaction stems from Freedom of Information and Privacy Act legislation that requires the disclosure of documents. Recent failures to completely remove (redact) confidential information from released electronic documents have lead to several high profile corporate legal battles.

Whether your business is a government agency or other organization, RapidRedact's unique redaction software provides a way to ensure damaging, sensitive information "leaks" from electronic documents do not occur.

Until recently many businesses have believed 'redaction' by blanking out text with standard tools, in PDF documents to be a safe method of redacting documents. However, often this text can still be found in the file, even though it is not visible in Acrobat.

With the release of RapidRedact redaction software it is possible to redact information in "read only" documents without the need for scanning and work-around solutions.

Why is Redaction such a hot topic?

There have been a number of high profile instances where information that was assumed “hidden” in documents became public, resulting in embarrassing media attention, or worse, lawsuits amounting to millions of dollars.

With electronic filing of court documents becoming a widespread practice and the heavy reliance on email to pass information, RapidRedact redaction software has become an essential tool for every business wishing to protect both its own and “third party” information.

Redaction awareness has been spurred on by discoveries of previously deleted but not redacted information appearing in the public arena. Cases such as British Intelligence on Iraq and SCO lawsuit against DaimlerChrysler are becoming more frequent, and are highlighting the damage that can be caused by not protecting sensitive information.

RapidRedact's Redaction Software is unique in offering the ability to "clean" hidden data and text from all document types, including protected PDF files.
