Fraud investigation redaction is the removal of nonpublic personal information from an SIU file. GLBA, at 15 U.S.C. §6802, limits sharing of that data. anonym.plus marks each item on your device, so the case findings stay clear while the subjects are shielded.
When this applies
An SIU file gathers a subject's records, surveillance notes, and witness contacts. You trim those fields before the document reaches counsel or police.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned reports and statements.
- The tool flags subject and witness identifiers.
- Keep the case codes and findings intact.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The SIU file (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Redact suits sensitive evidence).
- Optional name map for repeat subjects.

Limitations & cautions
Surveillance notes can re-identify a subject through a unique routine. The tool flags named items, not every behavioural clue. Read the notes before you share the file.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact informants and witnesses?
Often yes. Their contacts are nonpublic data too. anonym.plus flags the subject and others for review.
Will the case findings survive?
Yes. Findings and case codes stay. Only personal identifiers are marked.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The desktop app is fully offline, so evidence stays on your machine.
