The Redaction Tool Most Trusted by Professionals

State of the Art, COTS Redaction Solution
RedactXpress is a stand-alone redaction and declassification tool used to withhold information from documents. It eliminates tedious manual labor, copying, tracking documents and filing.

Irreversible Redaction After Burn-in
Unlike solutions that merely hide the information under black bars, RedactXpress completely and securely removes information that you select for redaction. It parses the document, physically deletes the selected information, and generates a new redacted document. RedactXpress includes built-in and customizable exemption codes for FOIA and the Privacy Act

The deleted information cannot be recovered because the redacted file is created without it. This includes permanent deletion of sensitive content from PDF documents.

Broad Range of Redaction Requirements
Redaction has applications in government, the court system and many regulated industries. For instance, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) mandates public access to many documents as long as sensitive content is not disclosed. RedactXpress streamlines compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Privacy Act, Health Information Portability and Accessibility Act (HIPPA), and the Openness in Government Act of 2005.
