Your Paralegals Spend 80–120 Hours a Month on Manual Redaction. That Ends Now.
Dataguard eliminates the task entirely, not just speeds it up. Every document is reviewed and cleaned automatically before it leaves your firm. Your paralegals don't do anything differently. The work just stops accumulating.

Why tools that require action don't stick
There are other redaction tools. Some of them do good work. The structural problem with all of them is the same: they require the paralegal to remember to use them before every share.
A busy afternoon. A fast-moving case. An urgent email out the door. The tool that required a separate step didn't get used. That's not a failure of the paralegal. That's how human attention works at volume.
Dataguard runs whether or not anyone remembered. That is the difference between a process and a safeguard.
Setup takes minutes inside the tools you already use. After that, there is nothing to manage. No dashboard to check. No queue to review. Just every outbound document protected, automatically, every time.
5 minutes to set up. Zero hours to manage after that.
Dataguard connects to your existing tools (Outlook, Gmail, OneDrive, Google Drive, and SharePoint) and sets up in minutes (Microsoft 365 firms can add it from the Microsoft Marketplace). No new login. No separate application. No IT support required.
Three steps. Zero behavior change from your team.
DataGuard runs automatically in the background. Your paralegals don't learn a new tool. They just stop accidentally sending things they shouldn't.
DataGuard lives inside the tools you already use
No new tools for your team to learn. DataGuard installs directly into Outlook, Gmail, OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, and Clio, the tools your team already uses every day.
Every outbound document is scanned automatically
When a document is about to leave the firm (via email, a shared link, or a file attachment) DataGuard reads it against your privacy policies before it reaches anyone outside.
Sensitive content is removed. The share goes through clean.
SSNs, diagnosis codes, government IDs, and other restricted information are stripped from the document. The recipient gets a clean file. Your team gets a summary of what was removed. The audit log records the event.
