Redaction is simply the process of removing text or images from a document. This process is sometimes called document sanitization.

Governments and businesses use document redaction services to remove private information that might be used for identity theft from electronic documents when they’re published.

The redaction process has two main steps, and the first step is done via software. Electronic documents are converted to text via Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Next, software then looks for patterns or private information including information like names, ID no , or other identifying data that is requested.

The second step is for each document to be reviewed by an actual person. This person verifies that the software did not miss anything during the review process.

For most organizations the document redaction services process must be done for thousands of documents. This process is done by Scan Guru that specializes in this heavy workload.
