Automated Document Redaction Software
Protect sensitive information and comply with data protection laws (e.g GDPR, CCPA). The AI-powered Software is multilingual, enabling automated document redaction in any language. Protect key Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Imprima Smart Redaction works in any language, including German, English, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, French, Romanian, Portuguese, Finnish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, to name a few. Smart Redaction will save you a tremendous amount of time and give you more accurate results than manual redaction.
We ran tests on documents in VDRs in 4 different languages. The results: an overall “Recall” (reliability) of 91-98% was achieved. See our test results here.
All this is the result of years of dedicated research at Imprima, making use of the latest deep learning technology and human intelligence to create AI that really works!
The problem with manual redaction
Today, the process of redacting sensitive information is an increasing burden for many organisations. Current manual processes are:
- Time-consuming and very expensive
- Inefficient and error-prone
Imprima Smart Redaction is a truly unique AI-powered tool. It helps you identify and anonymise sensitive information, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII):
- As it is truly a fully automated process you will benefit from time and cost savings of at least 90%.
- You will achieve that with even higher accuracy compared to manual review.
- PII that is buried deep down in the text is uncovered by Imprima Smart Redaction as easily as PII listed on the first page.
- Ensure compliance to both external regulations (e.g. GDPR) and internal privacy policies.
Is fully integrated within the Virtual Data Room – no need for critical PII to go back and forth between multiple systems
Automatic redaction in any language
Imprima's unique algorithms simultaneously make use of all trained data in all languages: German, English, Dutch. Italian, Spanish, French, Romanian, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and many more, making Imprima Smart Redaction the most comprehensive and accurate tool to protect sensitive information in the market.
Rapid and Reliable PII Redaction
Smart Redaction delivers a fully automated, highly accurate anonymisation of PII items. We ran numerous tests, and saw very good results. In one test on documents in VDRs in 4 different languages results of overall “Recall” (reliability) of 91-98% was achieved. In practice, that is significantly more accurate than manual redaction.

What does this mean for you?
Humans can easily find items to be redacted that are in predictable document sections (e.g. parties of a contract, or tables with names and addresses), but it is much harder to manually spot such items buried deep in the text.
Imprima’s AI-powered technology, on the other hand can process hundreds of pages in seconds, to accurately identify PII items, regardless of where they are placed in the text.
Automated redaction software for GDPR Compliance
As the Redaction Admin, you might need to see what has been automatically redacted. Users with permitted access can see under the redactions by hovering over them, or can switch all redactions to be semi-transparent.
For buy-side users, the redactions are never visible. In the buy-side (“published”) version of the document, the redactions are “burnt” into the document, for maximum security. Note that Imprima is one of the very few VDRs that have this publishing concept, as security is always front of mind.
Flexible Redaction
Automatic redaction is great for the standard items, but there may be additional items you want to redact. Of course, you can do that too with Imprima Smart Redaction.
You can manually redact full pages, paragraphs or even a single letter. You can search for a term, and then have all instances redacted. In other words, maximum flexibility.
- Search based redaction, and/or;
- Any manually selected text, and/or:
- Images, and/or;
- Entire page(s)
Sometimes there are terms that you don’t want redacted. For instance, you may want to redact all company names, apart from your own; or you may want to redact all tenants in a lease agreement, but not the landlord.
You will be able to do this with Imprima Smart Redaction. Create a list of terms you don’t want redacted, and the Smart Redaction algorithms will make sure those terms remain unredacted.
