The need to secure confidential information is common across industries, however many organizations struggle with the challenge of how to achieve those security goals while keeping productivity and costs in check. Enterprise redaction solutions from PaperFree solve these concerns with powerful and proven methods to easily redact information from digital files – either manually or automatically as part of an OpenText Capture (formerly know as Captiva) capture workflow.
Our solutions are notable for their permanent redactions. Data isn’t simply obscured by a black box; the redactions are burned into the image for the highest level of security, which cannot be reversed. Our automated redaction solution takes that a step further and can be configured to automatically locate and redact sensitive information on a variety of document types; structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. And, a variety of built-in annotations are available to add additional details to redacted documents.
Electronic redaction is the removal of private and confidential information from electronic documents. These documents, such as court reports, medical records, tax records, and more often still contain information that is necessary to share, so redaction is used to protect private information on the document. Then, these documents can be safely distributed and viewed by audiences not authorized to see the sensitive data.
PaperFree provides two versions of redaction – a manual version called BlackMark, and a fully automated version called BlackMark+: 
BlackMark™
BlackMark™ is a stand-alone solution that allows a user to import images either directly from a desktop scanner or from a file or folder. Once the images are imported, an operator can manually redact the document using the provided tools and annotations. Then, BlackMark will save both the original image and the ‘burned’ redacted image. This is an ideal solution for organizations not facing a high volume of documents to redact on a daily basis but have an occasional need to redact documents during the work week.
BlackMark+™
BlackMark+™ is a fully automated redaction solution that works with OpenText’s Captiva intelligent capture platform. This integration allows the redaction solution to import, classify, extract, and automatically redact information from anywhere on documents. ‘Free form’ search capability allows the solution locate specific types of configured information (SSN, Credit Card#, Account#, etc.) and then search through all incoming documents automatically to search out, find, and then automatically redact that information. BlackMark+ works with structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. This is ideal for organizations who are dealing with high volumes of incoming documents that need to be redacted.
Any business, corporation or government that handles highly-sensitive and confidential material is in need of a redaction solution. Such organizations include:
