Wealth client dataset batch redaction is the removal of personal data from a whole folder in line with FCA SYSC and UK GDPR. The systems-and-controls rules apply the same protection to each file. anonym.plus processes up to 20 at a time on your device, with a shared map so one person maps to one alias everywhere.
When this applies
A book of business holds many files that name the same savers. One-by-one work risks drift, so a batch run applies SYSC evenly across the set.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Point anonym.plus at the folder on your machine.
- It scans each file for names, numbers, and contacts.
- Local OCR reads any scanned pages in the set.
- A shared map keeps repeat savers steady across files.
- Review the summary and fix low-confidence flags.
- Save the clean set locally.
What you need to provide
- A folder of records (PDF, DOCX, CSV, mixed).
- The shared label map turned on for steady results.
- An operator (Replace works well for a book).

Limitations & cautions
A mixed folder of scans and structured files leans on OCR for the images, so review low-confidence flags. The shared map can re-link the set if kept; turn it off when you need true anonymity.
Frequently asked questions
How does batch mode keep one saver steady?
A shared map logs each person once, so the same saver maps to the same alias in every file across the folder.
How many files can one run handle?
Up to 20 files per batch, all processed locally with OCR for any scanned pages.
Does batch work upload anything?
No. The whole run is offline, so the records stay on your machine.
