Detailed Review
Redactic is a document redaction service from KS-Agents, an Italian business in Trieste whose legal notice names Luca Ricatti as the responsible person.
You upload a PDF, a Word file or a scan and it finds personal data such as names, tax codes, IBANs, addresses and country-specific identifiers. You review every match on screen, decide what to keep, then download either a permanently blacked-out copy or a pseudonymised one in which values are replaced by placeholders that can be restored locally.
It differs from the compliance suites on this page. Most entries here manage registers of processing activities, assessments and data subject requests. Redactic works on the documents themselves.
It also removes comments, tracked changes, hidden sheets, document properties and photo location data, and it produces a redaction certificate with document hashes. According to the vendor, detection combines a machine learning model with check-digit rules on its own servers in the EU, and unredacted content is not sent to outside AI services.
Prices are published: €19 a month for one user on Solo and €49 a month for up to 50 users on Firm, with an Enterprise tier for dedicated or on-premise deployment. It is last on this page because it covers one task, not a privacy programme, and because the vendor states that automated detection can miss information and that neither mode by itself makes data anonymous under GDPR.
What Redactic does well
- Published prices from €19 a month, with masking and blackout not limited by AI credits
- Review screen before anything is redacted, plus a redaction certificate
- Cleans metadata, tracked changes, hidden sheets and scans with OCR
- Detection runs on EU servers, documents are not stored, per the vendor
- Reversible masking lets a team use AI on masked text and restore values locally
Where Redactic falls short
- Does not manage processing registers, assessments or data subject requests
- Automated detection can miss values, the vendor says, so a human review is still needed
- A small vendor with no certification claimed
- No free trial is described on the pages we read
Standout feature. It is the only entry here that edits the documents themselves, blacking out or masking personal data before a file leaves the building.
