The Core Challenges

The Black-Highlighter Trap.

A black box over text is not redaction. The real words stay underneath, searchable and copyable, and the hidden metadata still preserves them.

Backlogs & Missed Deadlines.

FOIA and records requests keep rising. They pile up fast, and missed statutory deadlines bring lawsuits and stretched teams.

Compliance & Financial Liability.

One exposed SSN or medical ID can trigger penalties under the Privacy Act, HIPAA, and CJIS.

Trusted. Certified. Compliant.

We run every project inside audited, certified infrastructure that meets strict government and enterprise security requirements.

  • ISO 9001:2015 certified
  • GDPR compliant
  • PCI DSS compliant
  • HIPAA compliant
  • MBE certified minority business enterprise
  • SOC 2 Type II security certified
  • and Small Business

The Fork

Redaction needs differ by sector. Here's how we work with each.

Redaction for Government & Public Sector

We help federal, state, and local agencies release records at 100% redaction accuracy, without exposing what the law protects. Work follows FOIA, the Privacy Act, and CJIS.

  • Federal Agency Redaction.

    Sanitize CUI, classified, and citizen data across federal records, in line with FISMA and NIST.

  • FOIA and State Public Records.

    Clear request backlogs and meet statutory deadlines without releasing exempt information.

  • Law Enforcement and Justice.

    Redact sensitive victim, witness, and officer details in case files and body-camera transcripts, under CJIS.

  • Legacy and High-Volume Archives.

    Digitize and redact paper and microfilm at scale, with full chain of custody.

We are a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), a ready fit for your small-business and diversity contracting goals.

Redaction for Enterprise

Protect people and privileged information across the documents your business runs on, from health records to court filings and financial disclosures.

  • PII and PHI De-Identification.

    Permanently remove personal and health identifiers to meet HIPAA, and GDPR where it applies.

  • Legal, Litigation, and Court Records.

    Protect witness names, privileged material, and trade secrets across discovery and filings.

  • Financial Services and Insurance.

    Keep account numbers, disclosures, and policyholder data out of shared reports.

  • Healthcare and Life Sciences.

    De-identify medical IDs and diagnoses across research, claims, and disclosures.

We are SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI DSS compliant, so your most sensitive records are handled to enterprise standards.

The Apex Advantage: IZAAC + Human Judgment

Our proprietary platform, IZAAC, finds sensitive data across millions of pages. A two-pass human review then checks every redaction, and that review is what gets us to 100%.

  • True Redaction.

    We burn the pixels, strip hidden layers, and remove the metadata, so redacted content cannot be recovered, copied, or searched.

  • Medical Coding Services

    Automated detection plus two independent human reviews. We hit 100% accuracy this way, on every project.

  • Built for the Hard Cases.

    We redact handwritten text, complex documents, and high-volume archives that other tools miss.

  • Your Data Stays With Us.

    IZAAC runs on our own offline models, not external APIs. Your sensitive files are never sent to a third-party tool that could keep them if the rules change.

  • Accessible by Default.

    We can deliver redacted files that meet Section 508, WCAG, and PDF/UA.

100% accuracy across sensitive government projects and millions of pages, backed by 38+ years of work and our own tools.

Frequently asked questions

What redaction accuracy rate do you guarantee?

100%. Government redaction cannot afford a single miss, so our two-pass human review holds every project to 100%.

Do you meet FOIA and CJIS requirements?

Yes. We redact to FOIA, the Privacy Act, and CJIS, and we follow FISMA and NIST.

Can you handle paper, microfilm, and microfiche archives?

Yes. We handle end-to-end digitization and redaction for all legacy formats, at scale.

What's the difference between visual masking and true document redaction?

Masking only hides text on the surface. True redaction burns the pixels and strips the underlying data and metadata, so nothing is left to peel back and recover.

Is my data sent to external AI tools?

 No. IZAAC runs on our own offline models, so your sensitive data never goes to a third-party service.

Do you work with custom requirements? Can we bring our own redaction guidelines?

Yes to both. We work to your rules, formats, and markup standards, not a fixed template. On an intro call we'll review your guidelines, check sample documents, and scope your volume.

How is pricing calculated?

By page volume, document complexity, and turnaround speed. Schedule a call for a quote.
