A record that outlasts the case.

An append-only record of every action in a case: ingestion, extraction, resolution, views, decisions, changes and exports.

The problem

Emails and spreadsheets do not record who looked at what, when a decision was changed, or why. When a case is reviewed by a regulator or a court, the team is reconstructing events from memory.

How Redactics handles it

Every action in a Redactics case is written to an append-only log: what was collected, what was extracted, how people were resolved, who viewed which source, what was decided, what changed and what was exported. The log is readable by people and exportable for regulators, auditors or courts.

  • Append-only event log per case
  • Every view of source material recorded with user and time
  • Decision history including changes, reversals and reasons
  • Export as PDF or CSV for regulators, auditors or litigation

Audit trail in the guided sample case. All data is synthetic.

For your team

Reporting on a case is a query
Who did what and when is available on demand, for the current case or one closed two years ago.

For your risk

Evidence for the ICO or a court
The audit trail is the record that shows the process was reasonable, consistent and complete.

For your security review

Stored separately, retained on your terms
Audit logs are held separately from case content, with retention periods you configure and secure deletion at the end.
Security and trust
