Method and system for providing automated data redaction

A computing device configured to implement an execution of a method for providing automated data redaction, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• and
• a communication interface coupled to each of the processor and the memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a data set from a source, the data set including at least one from among an unstructured electronic document and a structured electronic document;
• identify, using at least one model, at least one text from the data set based on pattern logic, wherein the pattern logic corresponds to pattern recognition used by the at least one model to identify patterns of text;
• extract, by using the at least one model, the at least one text identified by the at least one model based on the pattern logic;
• map the at least one text to a location in the data set, the location relating to a position of the at least one text on a page;
• determine, by using the at least one model, whether the at least one text includes restricted information by:
• identifying, using the at least one model, a contextual element associated with the at least one text, wherein the contextual element includes a grouping of at least one from among an alphabetic character, a numeric character, and a symbolic character of a natural language that provides a meaning of the at least one text;
• and
• analyzing the contextual element using a rule from a restricted information library to identify the restricted information;
• redact the at least one text from the data set based on the mapping of the at least one text when the at least one text is determined to include the restricted information;
• and
• generate a redacted data set based on a result of the redacting.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for providing automated data redaction, the storage medium comprising executable code which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• receive a data set from a source, the data set including at least one from among an unstructured electronic document and a structured electronic document;
• identify, using at least one model, at least one text from the data set based on pattern logic, wherein the pattern logic corresponds to pattern recognition used by the at least one model to identify patterns of text;
• extract, by using the at least one model, the at least one text identified by the at least one model based on the pattern logic;
• map the at least one text to a location in the data set, the location relating to a position of the at least one text on a page;
• determine, by using the at least one model, whether the at least one text includes restricted information by:
• identifying, using the at least one model, a contextual element associated with the at least one text, wherein the contextual element includes a grouping of at least one from among an alphabetic character, a numeric character, and a symbolic character of a natural language that provides a meaning of the at least one text;
• and
• analyzing the contextual element using a rule from a restricted information library to identify the restricted information;
• redact the at least one text from the data set based on the mapping of the at least one text when the at least one text is determined to include the restricted information;
• and
• generate a redacted data set based on a result of the redacting.
