Scrubbing (redacting) a sensitive document for electronic publication may seem like a simple process. Yet, as many high profile corporations and government agencies have shown, it's not as simple as it first appears.

The Informative Graphics Group's latest white paper, "Electronic Redaction: How to Properly Redact Documents," can help your organization's next redacted release be far more secure and far less embarrassing.

Next week, Informative Graphics Corporation will unveil a significant product update for their Redact-It Desktop software. Version 1.1 will include key optical character recognition (OCR) software that will remove sensitive information from scanned documents.

Examples of these types of data elements include social security numbers, names, phone numbers, account numbers and so on.

A second major feature of Redact-It Desktop 1.1 is the software's new ability to apply redaction functions to Microsoft Office files including MS Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel.

With data breaches and eDiscovery in the news constantly, tools like Redact-It aide in avoiding sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.

The base version of Redact-It Desktop is avaialble for US $195 with the OCR add-on costing US $49 from Redact-It's website.
