Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for redacting sensitive data entries. A command to a document is received, where the document comprises data entries, wherein each data entry comprises text-based content. One or more sensitive data entries in the document are identified. A link between each identified sensitive data entry and a descriptor label is defined, and the link and the descriptor label are stored in a repository. A redacted document is generated by, for each identified sensitive data entry, replacing the text-based content with the associated descriptor label.
Claims37
A method for redacting sensitive data entries, wherein the method is implemented on a processor having access to a memory in which instructions are stored, the instructions being executable to configure the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a command to generate a document, wherein the document comprises data entries, wherein each data entry comprises text-based content;
- identifying at least one sensitive data entry in the document;
- defining a link between each identified sensitive data entry and a descriptor label;
- storing the link and the descriptor label in a repository;
- and
- generating a redacted document by, for each identified sensitive data entry, replacing the text-based content with the associated descriptor label.
A method for redacting sensitive data entries, the method comprising:
- receiving a command to generate a document, wherein the document comprises data entries, wherein each data entry comprises text-based content;
- receiving a command to export the document;
- receiving a single command to redact all sensitive data entries in the document;
- identifying all sensitive data entries in the document;
- generating a redacted document by, for each sensitive data entry in the document, replacing the text-based content with the associated descriptor label;
- and
- exporting the redacted document.
A computing system for redacting sensitive data entries comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to provide:
- a user interface component configured to:
- receive a command to generate a document, wherein the document comprises data entries, wherein each data entry comprises text-based content;
- provide a redacted document;
- redaction module configured to:
- identify at least one sensitive data entry in the document;
- define a link between each identified sensitive data entry and a descriptor label;
- store the link and the descriptor label in a repository;
- and
- generate a redacted document by, for each identified sensitive data entry, replacing the text-based content with the associated descriptor label.
