PII Detection and Redaction

eCase Assist’s PII Detection automates scans documents and highlights potential personal information. It categorises its findings into predefined groups such as names, addresses, emails, and National Insurance numbers. This intelligent categorisation allows case owners to work through the data systematically, focusing only on what’s relevant. Users remain in full control with the ability to accept or dismiss individual suggestions, add comments, and apply exemptions or exceptions where appropriate.

Bulk actions are available. This allows you to redact all instances of the recurring data, such as names or phone numbers, at once. Any previously ignored suggestions can be restored, ensuring no information is permanently overlooked.

eCase Assist's PII Detection works with eCase redact.


eCase Redact can be used to redact any PDF document.
A review of eCase Redact and its features and functions
The Pages view shows you an overview of the pages in the document. You can use this to move to another page, or you can select the Set Filter option to filter the document to show pages that are as yet unredacted, those where redaction has started, but are incomplete and the pages that are composed of an image only.
The search function allows you to search for text within the document you are redacting.
There are two Redaction Modes in eCase Redact. Redact by drawing and Redact by highlighting.
Once a word or section of a document is redacted, you can add a comment or exemptions/exceptions to that redacted area.
If you are part of the way through redacting a document and you would like to continue the rest later, click on the Close link on the redaction toolbar.
When the redaction is complete, click on the Finalise button on the eCase Redact toolbar. A secure PDF is then generated which conforms to the National Archives standards.
