GDPR email redacting software.

Does anyone have any redacting software they use for email etc. rather than manually removing names from 5k+ emails is there anything that can be purchased that removes them for you?

Acrobat has tools for redacting specific text strings across multiple files.

I use PowerPDF, can search and replace on text or manual selection etc

I've always found sed (stream editor) really good for this, it's about 50 years old but still getting updates!

We gave in this year and brought access to Nalytics it takes the export from a Content Search and will then automatically redact a large amount of the documents automatically, it still needs to be proofed and some bits redacted or unredacted manually within their web based GUI but it has saved about 60% of the time the redactors have been doing.

 

Technically its regex and keyword searching and replacing with a GUI to proof it, it works quite well and does save time.
