By AIT News Desk On Jul 23, 2021

Automate Request Intake, Task and Workflow Management, Data Discovery, Redaction, and Reporting to Streamline Request Response

OneTrust, the #1 fastest-growing company on the Inc. 500 and category-defining enterprise platform to operationalize trust, announced availability of the OneTrust Government Records Request Automation solution. This technology helps government entities automate the records request process from request intake, to data discovery and redaction, through the delivery of information securely to the requester.

OneTrust’s Government Records Request Automation solution brings critical automation elements like AI-driven data discovery and classification, automated data redaction, and a secure communication portal into a single solution that supports the US Federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act as well as State and Local Public Records Requests (PRR).

Government agencies are subject to more open records requests now than ever before, and at the same time, individuals are becoming increasingly aware of their rights to request information. As a result, government agencies are looking to modernize their workflows and provide quicker, less resource intensive responses that in turn create trust and transparency with constituents.
