Document Processing Services: Redaction
Also referred to as document “sanitization” or “editing out”, redaction refers to the removal of private information.
To help prevent identity theft and to ensure that specific client, financial, or legal information remains private, clients often request 3SG to redact information by permanently removing it from the electronic files after scanning. Redaction services may include, for example, removing social security numbers or private telephone numbers from the electronic images.
Safe, Secure, and Confidential
At 3SG, we have built our business on keeping client information confidential. Clients trust us to keep their information safe and secure. So we understand the need for secure, accurate redaction. And our 3SG associates receive any security certifications required by the client prior to handling sensitive client information.
Upon completion, redaction accuracy is checked and cross-checked by our quality assurance and quality control teams during the Best in Class production process.
What is Secure Redaction?
Effective redaction of electronic documents requires the actual removal of the text or image data from the electronic file. Specialized software tools are designed for sanitizing electronic documents so that the redacted information cannot be retrieved at a later time.
This means there is no saved revision history of the edited text and no fragments of the previous versions of the text available. These advanced electronic techniques have replaced laying graphical elements (usually black rectangles) on top of text where the original text remains in the file.
