Pixel-Level Redaction

ImageNow has a comprehensive redaction feature to provide permanent and tamperproof masking of sensitive, confidential or legally significant information.

The real strength of our redaction approach is giving users with appropriate privileges the ability to perform irreversible replacement of readable image information at the image’s smallest meaningful unit — the pixel — with solid areas that cannot be moved, altered or hidden. Visually discernible data simply no longer exists as part of the file structure in redacted areas, so you can e-mail or export the redacted version without fear of anyone discovering sensitive information. This provides an extraordinary degree of information security and is a significant advance over using annotation tools that create solid masks.

To maximise document security, ImageNow managers can take advantage of flexible classification schemes that grant specific users access to the original document or only redacted copies. Although an individual index value may be changed to identify redacted documents, other index values are preserved, ensuring that application integration based on those values remains unaffected.

ImageNow Workflow leverages the power of redaction by allowing the configuration of workflow queues in which only authorised personnel (such as a security, privacy or information officer) can appropriately redact specific documents before allowing others to access them.
