What teams should evaluate

  • Where sensitive data is stored and processed.
  • How permissions, audit trails, and review controls are enforced.
  • Whether redaction creates a new protected output or only visual masking.
  • How the workflow supports banks, law firms, consultants, and financial institutions.
