Redaction is the separation of disclosable from non-disclosable information by blocking out individual words, sentences or paragraphs or the removal of whole pages or sections prior to the release of the document. In the paper environment some organisations will know redaction as when whole pages are removed, or deletions where only a section of text is affected.



Redaction is required to conform to Freedom of Information requirements and The Data Protection Act. Most organisations still use manual redaction, with black marker pens or scalpels, to remove sensitive information. This process is extremely time consuming, and often numerous photocopies are required ? a tedious and wasteful process.

RapidRedact is a fast, simple, environmentally friendly electronic redaction tool for quickly redacting sensitive information, and keeping your sensitive information private and confidential. Since the redacted content is no longer in the document, there is no way to reverse the process to reveal the original content.

Unlike other redaction software RapidRedact works with any electronic format document, including images, pdf files, word processing documents, emails etc. RapidRedact can also be used for secure document conversion, where redaction is not a requirement, but removal of hidden data is. The growing RapidRedact customer base includes government agencies, local councils, defense agencies, police, law firms, legal services providers, and healthcare trusts.
