Pimloc strengthens Secure Redact with new Chain of Custody and Audit Trail features
New capabilities bring full transparency and accountability to AI redaction – supporting evidential integrity, disclosure obligations, and responsible AI adoption for UK policing.
Pimloc, a leading AI video privacy and analytics company, today announced the expansion of its Secure Redact platform with advanced Chain of Custody and Audit Trail features tailored for UK police forces. The update provides full visibility into redaction workflows, logging each action in a verifiable record that can be relied upon in policing, investigations, and criminal justice proceedings in the UK. Pimloc will unveil these new features at the Emergency Tech Show 2025, taking place September 17-18 at NEC Birmingham, within the Microsoft Partner Pavilion.
Secure Redact’s Chain of Custody and Audit Trail features automatically capture every interaction with a file, from upload through edits, reviews, access, and download. Every event is marked with timestamps, user identifiers, and unique file IDs, creating a tamper-proof history of activity suitable for evidential submission in courts. Logs can be exported as secure PDFs, giving police forces, professional standards units, and oversight bodies a clear record of how files were handled.
With these additions, Secure Redact allows organisations to demonstrate exactly how and when footage has been processed. This reinforces evidential standards under UK disclosure rules and criminal procedure legislation, supports compliance with statutory retention and data protection requirements, and gives officers confidence that AI-powered redaction is both efficient and defensible.
“Redaction sits on the front line of responsible AI. UK police forces and other justice agencies need clarity on how digital evidence is handled. These new features ensure every action in Secure Redact is tracked and reviewable, helping officers maintain evidential integrity and uphold public trust in law enforcement processes.”
The enhancements respond to growing demand for responsible AI governance, particularly in law enforcement where agencies are handling a near-constant stream of digital video evidence – from body-worn video and fixed CCTV to drone footage and mobile phone clips submitted by the public. Beyond policing, the new features also support organisations in healthcare, transportation, retail, education, and other sectors where the integrity of redaction processes must be demonstrable.
“Police customers told us that they needed more than automated redaction – they needed confidence in the entire chain of custody. Secure Redact now delivers both: the ability to redact at scale with AI, and the ability to document every step in a manner that meets UK policing evidential standards.”
