Imprima Smart Compliance has been a fantastic tool for our team. We’ve had it in place now for several months and the time spent on identifying and redacting PII data across multiple documents is significantly reduced. The accuracy rates are high which was something we didn’t experience before when using other redaction tools – a welcome change indeed.

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

Manual redaction is not an option

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

  • 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.

  • Ensure compliance to both external regulations (e.g. GDPR) and internal privacy policies.

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.

Smart Compliance

Keep track of redacted terms

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.

Maximum security

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)
Exception Listing

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.
