Abstract: A method for facilitating automated data redaction in real-time based on a corpus of linguistic components is disclosed. The method includes monitoring, in real-time, a data stream between a variety of applications; detecting textual data in the data stream, the textual data including free-form dialog data; parsing the textual data to identify linguistic elements, the linguistic elements including words and phrases; determining whether redaction is required for each of the linguistic elements; comparing each of the linguistic elements with the corpus when redaction is not required; and modifying, in real-time, the data stream to replace the linguistic elements with hash values when the linguistic elements do not match the linguistic components in the corpus.
