Why Search & Redact?

Process Subject Access Requests and FOI responses faster than ever before

Process Thousands of Emails

Search across your entire archive in seconds, no matter the size

Preview Before Redacting

Review every match to prevent accidental over-redaction

Consistent Redaction

Ensure the same term is redacted identically everywhere

Precision Search Options

Search & Redact offers flexible options to match exactly what you need:

  • Case-sensitive matching

    Distinguish between "Smith" and "SMITH" when precision matters

  • Whole-word matching

    Search for "John" without matching "Johnson" or "Johnny"

  • Partial matching

    Find all variations of a term across your archive

Common Use Cases

Search & Redact is particularly valuable for these scenarios

Quickly find and redact all mentions of individuals who aren't the data subject


Contact information

Remove phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal details that shouldn't be disclosed


Sensitive phrases

Redact specific project names, code words, or confidential terms across all documents


FOI exemptions

Apply consistent redaction for commercially sensitive or legally privileged content

Ready to Save Hours on Redaction?

For a typical SAR with 500 emails, manually searching for and redacting a single name might take 30-60 minutes. With Search & Redact, the same task takes under a minute.
