Problem
Organizations handling documents containing personal data face significant compliance burdens under data protection regulations, requiring careful removal of sensitive information before sharing or publishing materials. Manual redaction processes are time-consuming, error-prone, and often fail to scale with growing document volumes, creating legal and reputational risks for businesses that mishandle personal data.
Solution
Acuity AutoRedact delivers an automated redaction solution that identifies and removes sensitive information from documents and videos, reducing the manual effort and risk associated with traditional redaction workflows. The platform uses context-aware AI to detect names, dates, addresses, ID numbers, people, and vehicles, while keeping human reviewers in control through an interactive review workspace. Users can bulk upload PDFs, Office files, images, email archives, and CCTV footage, toggle detected items on or off, add custom redactions, and use Event Redaction to redact entire sensitive incidents. The platform exports securely redacted documents and videos along with a Redaction Audit Log to support defensible DSAR and FOI disclosures, and deletes uploaded files after the published processing and deletion period.
