Our assessment
Objective Redact, from Australian enterprise-software vendor Objective Corporation, targets organisations with formal disclosure obligations — Freedom of Information Acts, privacy regulations, and subject access/DSAR requests — rather than the ad-hoc, individual-user market most other tools in this category chase. It's a desktop application (drag-and-drop, no IT setup described as required) that natively integrates with Objective's own ECM and with Micro Focus Content Manager, which fits its positioning as an add-on to an existing enterprise records/content-management deployment rather than a standalone consumer tool.
Detection combines manual tools (freestyle, rectangle, scribble, stamp redaction) with structured/rule-based search (SSNs, tax file numbers, credit card numbers, regex patterns, email addresses) and OCR-driven word/phrase detection for scanned content, plus template-based redaction for recurring structured document layouts. It also strips hidden metadata, supports exemption codes for FOI/privacy compliance, records rationale annotations against each redaction, and produces audit logs and compliance reports. Output can be exported as PDF, TIFF, or a secure working file, and batch/folder-based automation is supported.
Pricing is not published: the product is sold either through a self-serve "Buy Now" purchase portal (which requires account sign-in to see terms) or through an enterprise purchase request for larger deals, with a complimentary free trial offered up front. There is no public per-seat or per-document rate card, which is typical of enterprise-focused redaction software sold alongside content-management platforms.
Strengths
- Native integration with Objective ECM and Micro Focus Content Manager, useful for organisations already on those platforms
- Combines manual, rule-based/regex and OCR-driven detection with template support for structured/recurring documents
- Exemption codes and rationale annotations built for formal FOI/DSAR disclosure workflows
- Audit logging and compliance reporting included
- Complimentary trial available before purchase
Limitations
- No public pricing — self-serve purchase requires account sign-in and larger deals require an enterprise sales request
- Positioned around enterprise ECM integration, which may be more than a standalone/individual user needs
- No specific compliance certifications (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) named, only general references to FOI/privacy regulations
- Desktop-only — no stated browser-based or API-only option
