Case Study: Fairfax County balances data access and privacy with Extract Systems redaction automation

Fairfax County redacts 44.5 million pages with Extract Systems

Fairfax County Government needed to balance data access with personal privacy by redacting sensitive information from its vast archives. The challenge involved processing 44.5 million pages of historical documents dating back to 1742, plus an additional 2.5 million new pages annually. They turned to Extract Systems for an automated redaction software solution to manage this immense volume.

Extract Systems implemented an automated solution that processed the county's enormous backlog and handled its ongoing document influx. This allowed Fairfax County to make hundreds of years of records available online through its secure database without disrupting citizen services. The Extract Systems software enabled the county to achieve its goal of providing public access while protecting private data on a massive scale.
