e-Redact will allow your organisation to achieve a minimum of 75% improvements in the areas of processing SAR, FoI and EIR requests.

There are many benefits of using e-Redact, click the headings below to find out more:

The solution offers automated features that will “Find & Redact” in an instant saving hours, if not days of effort when processing rudimentary Subject Access Requests.

We have tools that will allow you to quickly and efficiently process Microsoft Email files enabling:

  • Automated and instantaneous extraction of mail to PST files
  • Conversion of PST files to multi-page PDFs
  • Automatically process the PDF email file using e-Redact including:
    • Auto-removal of ALL email Addresses
    • Auto processing of corporate address book scripts to remove employee names
    • Ad-hoc redaction of other information to be excluded

Our tools for handling email are so effective, we’ve had clients state that they have saved 1000’s of hours per annum in their Data Protection teams whilst staying on top of SAR workloads.

Our automated email preparation tools will allow you to prepare ex-employee SAR responses in 25% of the time.

Our script tools allow consistent redaction to take place across multiple case-files and via multiple resources.  Scripts will allow you to generate standard sets of redaction terms to be applied across ALL files.  A Corporate Address Book would be a good example to ensure that staff personal details are redacted from within “ex-employee SAR responses” automatically.

e-Redact recognises that larger case files may require teamwork in order to prepare response files on time.  Our collaboration tools allow draft redactions to be shared amongst the team to obtain feedback on work-to-date.

Additionally, Change Marks can be used to highlight areas of concern or points for debate during the redaction process.  These tools enable effective collaboration and sign-off on planned redactions, remove stress levels amongst the team and improve the quality of your SAR responses.

e-Redact recognises that each time content is redacted, more and more context is lost from the original document.

e-Redact avoids this pitfall by allowing users to enter a “reason for redaction” (i.e. a comment or a code) for each term that is redacted.  For example, rather than simply redacting a “Police Officer Witness” name entirely, the tool can be used to remove the personal details, but apply a reason code of “Police Witness”.  This reason code (Police Witness) would be automatically appended to each redaction applied for the Police Officer Witness personal details throughout the entire output file, thus retaining the context of the document.

e-Redact is character map based and it can process ANY language.  Every feature of e-Redact is multi-lingual including the Find & Redact, Redact Text or Automated Script Redactions.

e-Redact is installed locally on the Laptop or Desktop machine.  License keys are generated specifically for each machine allowing all redaction activity to be conducted locally in a safe and secure environment.

Our competitors might demand that source documents need to be uploaded to the cloud for processing.  We do not believe this is appropriate and many of our clients wouldn’t have bought e-Redact if files could not be processed in a highly secure, local environment.

e-Redact is installed locally on the Laptop or Desktop machine and there are no usage restrictions.  Competitor products may have maximum monthly usage restrictions and incur hidden fees if these usage limits are exceeded.

e-Redact is an honest, local solution with unlimited processing capabilities to ensure that our clients achieve the maximum benefit from the solution.
