RedactBox
Audit Trail & Compliance

A defensible record of every redaction

RedactBox logs every redaction the moment it happens — who, when, what, where, and why. Export the trail as a PDF or CSV to evidence your SAR, DSAR and FOI decisions, and defend the work if you're ever asked to.

Compliance-grade logging, on by default

No checkbox, no setup. Every project — including those on the free tier — captures the full redaction history from the first action.

Every redaction logged

Manual redactions, bulk redactions, and search-and-redact matches all land in the same log. Nothing is hidden.

Who did what

Each entry records the user, project, file, target text and timestamp — so you can defend any decision after the fact.

Search and filter

Filter by user, date, file or reason. Find the redaction you need in seconds, even across thousands of entries.

Export to PDF or CSV

Attach the audit log to your SAR / DSAR / FOI response. Pick the format your requester or regulator expects.

Tamper-evident

The log is append-only at the database level. Removing a redaction creates a new entry — the original is preserved.

Always on

No setting to enable. Every project has full audit logging on by default, on every plan including the free tier.

Built for the moments you need to prove it

Subject Access Requests (SAR / DSAR)

Evidence the third-party PII you removed. If a requester challenges a redaction, you have the full record — who made it, when, and why.

Freedom of Information (FOI)

Show the trail behind every Section 40 (personal data) and Section 31 (law enforcement) exemption. Defensible by design.

Internal compliance and ISO audits

Pull the audit log when an internal auditor or external assessor asks for evidence of your data-handling controls.

Legal discovery and disclosure

Prove the chain of custody for redactions in disclosure bundles. Export per-project trails as part of your discovery response.

Defend every redaction you make

Audit trail is included on every plan, including the free tier. Start a project, redact, and export your audit log in minutes.
