Redactable

What Redactable is

Software for removing what should not be in a document before it goes anywhere. It scans documents and images, flags sensitive content and redacts it permanently rather than covering it with a shape someone can remove.

It is aimed at disclosure work, where a missed redaction becomes an incident rather than a mistake.

What you can do with it

• Detect sensitive information automatically
• Redact permanently rather than visually
• Work in a browser without desktop software
• Handle documents and images
• Use it for public records, legal and healthcare material
• Connect to cloud storage

Who it is for

• Legal teams preparing disclosure
• Local and state government records staff
• Healthcare organisations handling health information
• Human resources, insurance and finance teams

What to watch out for

• Automated detection misses things: spot-check every document before release
• The vendor's own description uses a ranking claim about being first, which is marketing rather than something to rely on
• Confirm the compliance certifications against current documentation during procurement
• Redaction failure is a disclosure event, so verification matters more than speed
