Directory-assisted Redaction

Redaction that's defensible, not automatic

We combine patterns, directory context, and human review to redact accurately — especially where safeguarding, third-party data, and voice of the child are involved.

How it works

Four layers, one defensible output

Designed to reduce manual effort while keeping decisions consistent and clearly recorded.

Directory context

We use Wonde to bring in the relevant pupil and staff directory data so redaction can be consistent and reliable.

Baseline patterns

Patterns generate likely matches and common variations and can apply rule-based removals, such as staff names and email addresses where appropriate.

AI support

AI helps identify and classify content patterns, but it is not the whole solution — especially in education where context matters.

Human control

Safeguarding nuance, third-party permissions, and voice of the child require careful judgement.

Pupil first

Sensitive content handled with care

Redaction uses case context, rules and human judgement to decide what should be disclosed, withheld or redacted.

Records + retention

Clear retention rules

Retention depends on whether the customer is on the DPO service or using the capability separately through TruCredits.

Retention route

The outcome can be recorded into the ROPA and detailed redaction content is deleted after download.

Service boundary

A secure download pack is provided and the data is deleted after download.

Pricing

Paid using TruCredits

Typically credits per document. If something is complex, we confirm the credit cost before proceeding.
