Abstract: Systems and methods provide a deployable cloud-agnostic redaction container for performing optical character recognition and redacting information from a document using a cloud-based, guided redaction framework. An example method for document redaction includes receiving a plurality of documents and extracting pages from the plurality of documents. The method then determines, based on a load balancing criterion, a processing order for the pages extracted from the plurality of documents, and performs, based on the processing order, an optical character recognition process and a redaction process on the pages to generate redacted pages. The redacted pages are provided for transmission or storage to a cloud data management platform.

Abstract: Systems and methods for guided, automated redaction are disclosed. A cloud-based software platform allows users to upload a plurality of documents of any file type, collaboratively perform permanent redaction on the documents in real time, and save redacted versions of the documents in their original file types. Users can choose from a plurality of redaction methodologies for identifying information to be redacted, including manual methodology, search methodology, image methodology, pattern methodology and document methodology. Sensitive information in documents of certain types is efficiently found and redacted based on known patterns and known locations of the information as it commonly appears in such documents.
