Why you need more than ordinary Office tools to protect information
RapidRedact has
become an essential redaction tool for permanently removing sensitive information contained in Word,
Excel and PDF documents.
Office documents usually store hidden sensitive information such as
every annotation/text change since a document’s creation and the authors details, even after modifications have been made to the documents and the changes have been saved.
Word Documents
Documents saved in this popular
format contain hidden data (ranging from authors and revisions
to hidden notes and transparent fonts).
Manually removing all of the hidden information data from a Word document requires at least
9 different procedures and even then you can't be sure that all of the information has been completely removed.
Because users do not have
any reliable way of knowing that there is no sensitive data
lurking in the file, sophisticated editors
can easily read content not visible from the Word interface.
That's why it is crucial to have redaction software that will permanently remove all sensitive information and RapidRedact can automatically remove all of the information with just one click!
PDF Documents
Until recently, many organizations believed that placing markings over text in PDF documents
using the standard tools was
a “safe” and reliable method of redacting documents.
However, it was soon discovered that this method only "covered"
the text and even
though the information was not visible in Acrobat, it was still readable by simply moving the markings that were placed over the text.
Another issue that organizations have encountered with 'protected' PDF documents is that most redaction plug-in tools are unable to access these PDF documents. This issue limitation is non-existant when using RapidRedact.
With RapidRedact it's possible
to redact information in protected and “read only” PDF documents
without the need for changing the document, re-scanning or any other work-around solutions.
