You need to have the confidence that the people viewing the redacted documents can\u2019t see what has been redacted, unless they are permitted. This sounds obvious, however there are many well-known examples where it has gone terribly wrong, as in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-us-canada-46804127\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manafort<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2021\/05\/25\/politics\/giuliani-redactions-investigations\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giuliani<\/a><\/strong> court cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><Span style=\"font-weight:800\">Burning the redactions in \u2013 make sure there are no mishaps.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Imprima, a key element of the system design is that you, as a data room manager, manage the documents in the so-called \u201cConstruction View\u201d. Only when you are satisfied that everything is in order, you then \u201cPublish\u201d the documents. Buy-side &#8211; or otherwise restricted &#8211; users only see the documents in the Published state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system design allows us to make sure that no redaction mishaps can ever occur. In the construction view the redactions are overlays, so you can still see what is beneath. However, when publishing the documents, the redactions are \u201c<strong>burned in<\/strong>\u201d, actually replacing the pixels of the redacted information with black pixels, so it is absolutely guaranteed that<strong> the users will not be able to see the redacted information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imprima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burnt-V2b-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.imprima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burnt-V2b-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.imprima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burnt-V2b-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.imprima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burnt-V2b-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.imprima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/burnt-V2b.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the secure implementation of the redactions is of paramount importance, we\u2019ve also implemented tools to enhance the usability for those performing the redactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><Span style=\"font-weight:800\">Eye Icon \u2013 gaining insight into redacted terms<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand that for redaction administrators, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the redacted content.
