Redact contracts before you share them
Permanently remove private and personal info from contracts before you send them out.
The problem
- Associates spend hours manually blacking out privileged passages, names and account numbers before disclosure, and a missed line is a malpractice risk.
- Sending sensitive contracts to a web tool for redaction is itself a confidentiality breach many clients forbid.
- Redactions done by drawing black boxes in a viewer can be undone by copy-paste, because the text is still in the file.
The workflow
One licensed pipeline chains these steps end to end. Each step is a tool you can try free on the public site.

Why run it on-premise?
True redaction destroys the underlying text rather than hiding it, satisfying privilege and data-protection obligations. Running it on-premise means the unredacted original never touches an outside server.
The Business suite ships as a self-hosted bundle that runs inside your own network, so the documents in this workflow never leave the building. See how deployment works.
Disclosure-ready documents in minutes, with redactions that hold up to scrutiny.
