Video Anonymization
Anonymize live or captured video footage, protect PII and maintain data law compliance.
Importance of Video Anonymization
As global data privacy intensifies, compliance becomes challenging. Secure Redact provides a rapid, over 99% accurate video anonymization solution, with flexible deployment to streamline your processes.
Video anonymization is important when mitigating risk in case of a data breach, preservation of trust and reputation, and upholding ethical standards. Thanks to Secure Redact, protecting your customers, employees, or visitors can provide automated video redaction.
How our Video Anonymization Software works
Whether you need to anonymize faces, number plates, or other sensitive information, doing so with Secure Redact is quick, easy, and very efficient. Once you have the video, audio or image file, all you need to do is upload it to your account on our Secure Redact SaaS platform. Secure Redact will automatically detect all PII in the video, and then you have the option to un-tick redactions based on your needs.

Who already uses the Secure Redact solution in my sector?

Can videos processed by Secure Redact be unblurred?
Videos CANNOT be unblurred when processed with Secure Redact.
The process of redaction alters the original pixel data within an image. The information in the redacted regions has been destroyed. The original pixel data cannot be retrieved from the redacted version. For videos, this process is applied on every frame to generate a redacted video. The redaction algorithm used is unique to Secure Redact and is dependant on the input image data and random injection to ensure it can't be reversed.
