How to avoid redaction fails
Properly redacting sensitive information, such as personally identifiable information (PII), ensures compliance with privacy laws, protects reputations, and prevents costly leaks that could derail deals or expose individuals to risk. When done poorly, however, the consequences can be disastrous. Real-world redaction failures The stakes of redaction are high, and recent history is littered with examples […]
Exploring the best approach to AI Redaction
In recent years, many suppliers now provide what they call “AI-Redaction.” However, what are the underlying technology methods, and are some approaches better than others? “AI-redaction” is a broad term that can cover techniques such as classical machine learning (ML) models, traditional search techniques and creating lists, and regular expressions (Regex). We’ve previously written about […]
AI-Redaction that works in practice
AI redaction tools are designed to automatically detect and remove sensitive information from documents to ensure data privacy and security. In addition to accurate results, there are several important usability features that are crucial for a tool that will give you return on investment. Here are some key features you should look out for when […]
LLM-based AI – how accurate is it
In our previous post “Should we blindly trust AI?”, we discussed the main benefit of an accurate AI tool for information extraction. And that is that it saves the user time, and not that it takes the human out of the loop. At Imprima we like to be open about how accurate AI can be. […]
Should we blindly trust AI?
At Imprima, we believe no one should rely wholly on AI without careful thought, regardless of its accuracy. Even the most accurate AI can’t fully see issues the way you can. Why? Simply because the AI does not have the specific context and responsibilities that you have. At the end of the day, you own whatever […]
How Large Language Models change the game for Due Diligence Reviews
Technology deep dive (but don’t be put off if you are a non-technical person, we will keep it high-level) Last week we discussed why information extraction and automated document summaries for Due Diligence is a difficult nut to crack. This week we discuss how it can be done, with AI. But not just any AI. […]
Close, but no cigar: why pseudo AI fails to provide a solution to Due Diligence
Time Pressure and Error Understanding the risk or value of a company by reviewing its documentation is a time-consuming task, particularly when dealing with large volumes of documents or complex information. Time pressures can give cause to oversight. and we’ve seen this in the past with examples such as Caterpillar and Siwei (2010) in which […]
Secure Redaction
AI redaction needs to be accurate (read more), automatic (read more), and easy to use. However, all these features are worthless if you can’t rely on the redaction to be securely implemented. You need to have the confidence that the people viewing the redacted documents can’t see what has been redacted, unless they are permitted. […]
Customised AI-redaction – making sure it redacts what you want redacted
Last week, we addressed the challenge of achieving perfect accuracy in automated redaction. We emphasised that even with the most advanced technology, perfect recall and precision are not feasible, despite what some vendors may claim. Contrary to the practice of other vendors, we like to be open about our accuracy statistics, and you can read […]
Large Language Models for Automated Redaction
Technology deep dive (but don’t be put off if you are a non-technical person, we will keep it high-level) Last week we discussed how time limits and the likelihood for error make manual redaction very challenging, and why even automated redaction is a difficult nut to crack, at least with traditional search methods, and “Regular […]

Smart VDRs – It is all about Accuracy
Last week we shared our blog on Smart VDRs with you. It included some accuracy stats on Smart Summaries, the key Machine Learning tool to extract data points from transaction documentation (such as dates, locations, etc.). Before that we shared the accuracy stats of our Smart Redaction tool. Today we would like to zoom in […]
Smart VDR – a Paradigm Shift
Virtual Data Room (VDR) replaces Physical Data Rooms (2002-2022) 20 years ago, the M&A Due Diligence (DD) process changed fundamentally with the introduction of Virtual Data Rooms. Before then, DD was conducted by designating a separate physical room at the seller’s office, where physical copies of all company documentation pertinent to the DD were made […]
What Will Be the Impact of AI on the legal profession in the Coming Years?
The beginnings of AI’s impact on the legal profession is already noticeable. Legal professionals are adopting AI software solutions to automate many areas of their work, generating greater accuracy, efficiency, and cost savings. Over the coming years, AI’s impact on the legal profession will likely grow, significantly disrupting the sector as we know it. How […]
