Redaction Software for Law Firms

Discovery documents, court filings, depositions, and client records contain sensitive PII that must be redacted before production. SafeRedact automates the process while keeping every file in your browser — nothing touches a third-party server.

The legal redaction problem

Law firms handle some of the most sensitive documents in existence. A single discovery production can contain thousands of pages with Social Security numbers, financial account details, medical records, and protected witness information. Manual redaction is slow, expensive, and error-prone — and a single missed redaction can result in a malpractice claim, sanctions, or court-ordered penalties. Adobe Acrobat's redaction tools require manual selection of every PII instance. On a 500-page production, that's hours of tedious, high-stakes work where one missed SSN can expose your client and your firm.

What legal teams redact

Discovery Productions

Redact third-party PII from document productions before sharing with opposing counsel. AI detects names, SSNs, addresses, financial data, and medical information across thousands of pages.

Court Filings

Remove protected information from exhibits, motions, and briefs before filing. Ensure compliance with court-specific redaction rules and local privacy orders.

Depositions & Transcripts

Redact witness personal details, third-party information, and privileged content from deposition transcripts before distribution.

Client Intake Records

Protect client PII in intake forms, engagement letters, and case files when sharing with co-counsel, experts, or during audits.

Settlement Agreements

Remove confidential financial terms, party details, and personal information before filing or sharing redacted versions.

FOIA & Public Records

Prepare documents for Freedom of Information Act responses with consistent, permanent redaction that withstands scrutiny.

Why law firms choose SafeRedact

Files never leave your device

Attorney-client privilege demands that sensitive documents stay under your control. SafeRedact processes everything in your browser — the complete file never touches our servers. Only extracted text reaches the AI detection API, encrypted and immediately discarded.

Permanent, forensic-proof redaction

SafeRedact doesn't draw black boxes over text. It destroys the underlying data. The redacted content cannot be recovered by copy-paste, text extraction, metadata inspection, or any other technical method. This is the standard courts require.

AI detection at scale

Upload a 500-page discovery production and let AI identify every SSN, address, phone number, date of birth, and financial account number. Review the detections, adjust as needed, and export — in minutes instead of hours.

Audit trail for compliance

Every redaction is logged with file name, detection type, and timestamp. Export the audit log for your file, opposing counsel, or the court.

Compliance & court requirements

Federal and state courts increasingly require permanent redaction of PII in public filings. FRCP Rule 5.2 mandates redaction of SSNs, taxpayer IDs, birth dates, financial account numbers, and minor names. Many state courts have adopted similar rules. SafeRedact's pixel-burn redaction meets the permanence standard — the redacted data is destroyed, not hidden.

Frequently asked questions

Is SafeRedact compliant with attorney-client privilege requirements?

SafeRedact processes documents in your browser. The complete file never leaves your device. Only extracted text is sent to the AI detection API over encrypted channels with zero-retention headers. This architecture means no third party ever has access to your complete documents.

Can SafeRedact handle large discovery productions?

Yes. The consumer product processes files individually. For bulk productions with thousands of files, SafeRedact Enterprise offers batch processing with progress tracking and audit CSV export.

Does SafeRedact meet court redaction standards?

SafeRedact applies permanent, irreversible redaction. The underlying text and image data is destroyed, not masked. This meets the permanence standard required by FRCP Rule 5.2 and equivalent state rules.

Can I redact specific types of PII while preserving others?

Yes. SafeRedact's DSAR mode lets you specify a data subject whose information should be preserved while all other PII is redacted — essential for subject access requests and targeted discovery redaction.
