Enterprises in healthcare, finance, and legal all face the same problem: protecting sensitive information while adopting AI at scale. Manual redaction is slow, costly, and error-prone. Legacy compliance workflows can’t keep pace with the flood of documents entering GenAI pipelines.
VLM Run’s new Document Redaction API changes that. Already live in production with enterprises processing tens of thousands of documents every month, it automates the removal of PII, PHI, financial identifiers, and privileged information – with audit-ready precision.
Unlike one-size-fits-all tools, VLM Run is built for customization. Redaction rules can be tuned to your industry standards and compliance frameworks – from HIPAA Safe Harbor in healthcare, to PCI DSS in finance, to attorney-client privilege in legal.
