Redaction Built for RIAs
Meet amended Reg S-P safeguarding requirements and desensitize client data before it reaches an AI model, vendor, or examiner's file request — without hand-redacting PDFs.
Two Pressures, One Data Problem
Registered investment advisers are being squeezed from two directions at once. Regulators have raised the bar on how nonpublic client information is handled, stored, and shared — amended Regulation S-P has been in force for larger firms since December 2025 and for all remaining firms since June 3, 2026. At the same time, firms are being asked to move faster: use AI to draft client communications, summarize research, ground internal knowledge tools, and unlock the value sitting in years of accumulated client files.
Both pressures trace back to the same root problem — sensitive client data leaving the firm, or being reused, without controls. Whether it's a document going to auditors, an archive being fed into a model, or a spreadsheet exported to a vendor, the exposure is the same. Redactor+ closes that gap by making redaction and desensitization a repeatable, auditable step in the workflows you already run.
The Compliance Deadline Has Already Passed. Has Your Process Caught Up?
The SEC's amended Regulation S-P didn't just update a checklist — it expanded what counts as "customer information," tightened breach notification timelines to 30 days, and put service provider oversight directly in examiners' sights. If your team is still hand-redacting PDFs before sending files to auditors, counsel, or vendors — or hoping nonpublic information doesn't slip through in a spreadsheet export — that gap is now a compliance exposure, not just an inefficiency. For RIAs, the amended rule means:
- Broader scope. Customer information now covers data you receive about other institutions' customers too, not just your own clients.
- Faster breach response. You're expected to notify affected individuals within 30 days of discovering unauthorized access — which assumes you can quickly identify whose data was exposed and what was in it.
- Vendor accountability. Your due diligence on any third party touching client data (including document processing and file-sharing tools) is now part of your compliance record, not a side conversation.
- Documented disposal practices. Redacting or purging sensitive fields when data is shared, archived, or reused needs to be a repeatable, provable process — not a manual one-off.
How Redactor+ helps
- Automatically detect and redact Social Security numbers, account numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and other NPI across PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, images, audio, and video.
- Apply consistent, auditable redaction before documents leave your firm — for regulators, auditors, custodians, or co-fiduciaries.
- Maintain a defensible audit trail of what was redacted, when, and by whom, supporting your incident response and recordkeeping obligations.
- Redact archived email and legacy document sets in bulk, so historical exposure doesn't sit unaddressed.
Want to Put Your Data to Work in AI? Strip Out What Shouldn't Be There.
RIAs are increasingly exploring AI — for portfolio commentary, client communications, research summarization, and internal knowledge tools. But training or fine-tuning a model on raw client files means feeding it Social Security numbers, account numbers, and personal financial details you have a regulatory and fiduciary duty to protect.
Once sensitive data is embedded in a model, you can't easily pull it back out. The safer path is desensitizing your data before it's used for training, retrieval-augmented generation, or any AI workflow — internal or vendor-hosted.
How Redactor+ helps
- Bulk-process document sets — client files, account records, correspondence — to strip PII/NPI before they're used to train or ground an AI model.
- Preserve document structure and context (including coreference resolution, so "the account holder," "she," and a client's name are all treated consistently) so the desensitized data stays useful for AI purposes.
- Run the same process through the app, your existing cloud storage, or programmatically via API — so desensitization becomes a step in your AI pipeline, not a manual gate in front of it.
- Support both one-time cleanup of historical data and ongoing desensitization as new documents are generated.
