Witness Statement
On March 14, 1992, the witness, John A. Doe, voluntarily appeared at the offices of Mercy General Hospital to give a sworn statement.
The witness produced records under file number MR-48201 and confirmed she could be reached at (415) 555-0142.
The statement was given freely, without coercion, and the witness was advised of her right to counsel.
compliance frameworks ship out of the box
accuracy on legal entities
pages handled in a single production job
files moved off your existing system
The same six things, every time.
Most of what gets redacted repeats file after file. DataGuard takes that part and cites the rule on each one. The judgment calls stay with you.

How it works
Six steps, import to send.
Add the documents.
Pull in from Clio, SharePoint, OneDrive, Drive, or upload. Originals never move.
Pick the laws that apply.
Stack HIPAA, GDPR, CPRA, PIPEDA or PIPABC, plus your own firm rules.
Read the reason for each flag.
Every flag carries the rule that triggered it, in plain English.
Date of Birth is classified as Minors' Sensitive Personal Information. Subject to the consumer's right to limit use and disclosure under the California Privacy Rights Act.
Review what it flagged.
Go file by file, with the surrounding text and the rule side by side.
Apply the redactions.
Approve the routine in bulk. Borderline items wait for a person.
Routine items will be redacted in bulk. Findings flagged for review will be left for manual approval.
Send it. Every action logged.
A secure link that expires. You see every open and download.

How it stacks up.
Not a Relativity replacement for a 20-million-page review. The redaction step in the folders your firm works in every day.

Questions firms ask.
Every redaction shows the exact rule that triggered it, in plain English. Example: a Date of Birth flagged under CPRA shows up with the citation (CPRA §1798.120(c)) and a short explanation of why the rule applies. You don't have to trust it. You see the reasoning.
