Everything between
“received” and “released.”
Give sensitive records a clear path forward, with the tools to protect information and the oversight to release it confidently.
Make every redaction explainable.
Organize redactions into exemption layers. Record the basis for withholding information and let managers lock finalized layers.
Keep approval in the right hands.
Dedicated roles make ownership clear. Route work through review, return it for corrections, and release only when it is approved.
Governance & security
Control who acts.
Know what changed.
Give every role a clear responsibility. Keep redaction decisions connected to their reasons, route work through review, and preserve evidence of how records were prepared for release.

The governance circle
01 / 06Access & identity
Give people access appropriate to their responsibility. Role-based permissions, SSO, multi-factor authentication, and configurable session policies help control who can work with sensitive records.
Select a control to explore how it supports the record.
Defined roles and approvals
FOIA officers manage requests, redactors prepare records, reviewers check work, and managers make the final decision. Returned work follows a correction loop.
Reasons, layers, and locks
Connect marks to exemption layers and reasons. Use shared templates and organization catalogs, then lock finalized layers against further changes.
Traceable activity and release
Review activity, comments, and export jobs. Preserve redaction history in a separate audit artifact and generate reports within each role’s access.
Permanent redaction+
Burned-in masks remove underlying content, with integrity checks to validate the final output.
Clean, controlled output+
Sanitization strips hidden metadata and revision history before records are released.
A separate audit record+
An encrypted audit artifact preserves redaction history for internal accountability.
Access with clear boundaries+
Role-based permissions, SSO, multi-factor authentication, and configurable session policies support organization-wide control.
Organization-level policies+
Manage users, teams, master documents, exemption catalogs, and color palettes from the administration workspace.
Session and MFA oversight+
Configure session duration, review session logs, monitor MFA adoption, and set role-specific enrollment grace periods.
Every format.
Its own precision tools.
A request can contain more than a document. Work with dedicated editors for each file type, connected by the same layers, reasons, and review process.
From a single word

From readable text to reviewable suggestions.
OCR for pages and frames
Extract text from scanned PDFs, images, and video frames. Navigate back to the source to check every detail.
Results remain connected to the source page or frame, so a reviewer can check the extracted text in context.
Confidence-scored detections
Review sensitive-information suggestions with their location, confidence, and proposed exemption. Accept or reject individually or in bulk.
Suggestions remain subject to user acceptance, layer assignment, and review. Confidence does not replace the release decision.
Summaries that fit the record
Explore short or full summaries, topics, and action items, with per-page, per-speaker, or per-scene views for supported file types.
PDF: per-page summaries. Audio: per-speaker summaries. Video: per-speaker and per-scene summaries. Images: alt text, captions, and detected objects.
Search and pattern detection
Locate repeated phrases and structured identifiers such as phone numbers, email addresses, dates, and IDs.
Search & Redact supports repeated text in PDFs. Word provides Find & Redact plus structured pattern redaction.
Time-aligned transcription
Move between spoken content and readable text, with transcript selections connected to the audio or video timeline.
Audio redaction can be performed on the waveform or through selected transcript text, with mute and beep options at export.
Visual detection and tracking
Find sensitive visual categories and follow selected subjects across video frames, with human review of the proposed tracks.
Video categories include faces, people, vehicles, license plates, screens, notepads, text, signatures, and more.
Consistency, built in
Every redaction
has a reason.
Apply shared enterprise templates or save personal templates for repeated work. Combine multiple exemption layers on a mark, with a reason that explains this specific decision.
- Enterprise & personal templates
- Saved layer combinations
- Configurable exemption colors
- Manager-controlled layer locks
