Re: Removing Sensitive Data from Paper Documents

The UK National Archives redaction guidelines (at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/redaction_toolkit.pdf) 
contain technique information in Appendix 1.  However, the final product is a copy of a modified copy of the original.  
The original is never modified.

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.
