Processing emails

Redacting large numbers of emails and attachments can take days without software to accelerate the process. The risk of human error also increases. 

We have tried and tested redaction methodologies that cover the pre-processing of e-mails prior to redaction that will easily collate data into the required format within minutes.

The fast and secure e-Redact software will then process the information and redact what’s required quickly and without human error.

A business example is the redaction of regular expressions found in emails e.g. emails, date of birth, order number.
