Re: Removing Sensitive Data from Paper Documents

My preference is scanning the documents into Adobe Acrobat Pro (version
8 or later) and using the Redaction tool.  Then, you have an electronic
version which you can print.

Subject: [SECURITY] Removing Sensitive Data from Paper Documents

 

Is anyone aware of a technique that will allow you to modify a paper
record to make the personal identifying information unreadable while
keeping the rest of the document intact? Aside from cutting the
information from the document (which is not practical), are there
special markers, pens or white-out designed for this purpose? 

 

In an effort to comply with MA 201 CMR, we would like to remove PI from
certain paper files, while keeping the document intact.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

 

Patty
