Case Study: Canton Municipal Court protects citizens from identity theft with Extract Systems automated redaction

Canton Municipal Court automates redaction for 250,000 documents a year with Extract Systems

The Canton Municipal Court faced a significant challenge when new Ohio state rules required them to redact vast amounts of sensitive personal information from court records before public release. Needing to process approximately 250,000 documents annually, the court sought an automated solution from Extract Systems to efficiently detect and redact data types like Social Security Numbers and bank account details, thereby protecting citizens from identity theft.

Extract Systems implemented its automated redaction software to address this challenge. The solution successfully automated the redaction of personally identifiable information (PII), which created major efficiencies for court staff. This allowed the Canton Municipal Court to keep pace with their immense annual document volume while minimizing the costs associated with manual verification processes.
