Overview
The Find & Redact feature allows users to Search and Redact specific words, phrases, patterns, and PII (personally identifiable information) from any number of documents.
Users can create a list of targeted words based on their redaction needs using the “Analytics” feature in CaseGuard Studio. Once the list is created, they can apply it to any document in the future.
The Bulk Find & Redact will let you apply your saved list of Analytics on unlimited documents- all at once!
This feature is particularly useful for organizations that handle sensitive information such as healthcare, law enforcement, and legal firms. If your Organization has 300 medical forms, and 500 applications to redact PII from, you can apply an “Analytics list” which includes “Emails, Phone Numbers”, and “Names” within the Bulk Find & Redact feature. The system will automatically search and redact these three types of PII within all 800 forms- without any manual work.
This feature is a great asset for anyone seeking to redact a large volume of documents at once, as it significantly streamlines the entire redaction process.
