A whitelisting approach to redaction may include receiving a normalization request containing a binary file with complex structured data, such as a workbook or spreadsheet file, from an application on a user device through a redaction service provided by an e-discovery platform. In response to the normalization request, a normalization process starts and runs asynchronously to apply a whitelist to the binary file. The whitelist is configurable and specifies features (e.g., data types, workbook object types, etc.) of the binary file that are considered safe by a party to a lawsuit or investigation. The normalization process includes a pre-processing stage, a transferring stage, and a post-processing stage to push all the data to a visible level and produce a normalized document with the whitelisted features. An artifact containing the normalized document can then be generated and used to render a normalized representation for interactive redaction.
A method for parsing a file of a format, the format comprising a plurality of data types, to generate a redaction file comprising a whitelisted sub-portion of the plurality of data types that are predetermined to be redactable, the method comprising:
A system for parsing a file of a format, the format comprising a plurality of data types, to generate a redaction file comprising a whitelisted sub-portion of the plurality of data types that are predetermined to be redactable, the system comprising:
A computer program product for parsing a file of a format, the format comprising a plurality of data types, to generate a redaction file comprising a whitelisted sub-portion of the plurality of data types that are predetermined to be redactable, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor for:
