Redaction is simply the process of removing text or images from a document. This process is sometimes called document sanitization. Governments and business uses redaction to remove private information that might be used for identity theft from electronic documents when they are published.

The redaction process has two main steps. The first step is done via software. Electronic documents are converted to text via OCR. Software then looks for patterns or private information. This may be names or social security numbers. What it looks for is customizable for what information is expected. The second step is for each document to be reviewed by a person. The verifies that the software did not miss anything.

For most organizations the redaction must be done for thousands of documents. This process is usually outsource to a company that specializes in this work.
