Metadata & Document Obfuscation
Autonomous agents that sanitize documents, strip metadata, and verify obfuscation completeness — ensuring no residual identifying information survives publication.
Our document sanitization agents handle the painstaking work of ensuring sensitive materials are safe for publication or disclosure. The agents strip EXIF data from images, remove tracked changes and hidden metadata from Office documents, sanitize PDFs, and anonymize datasets — then verify their own work by scanning the output for any residual identifying information.
The verification step is what sets agent-driven obfuscation apart from manual processes. After initial sanitization, a separate verification agent examines the output using different detection methods, cross-checking for device fingerprints, embedded metadata, steganographic artifacts, and other residual traces that manual review commonly misses.
Our agents support whistleblower protection, journalistic source protection, and safe publication of sensitive materials. The entire pipeline produces a verification report documenting what was found, what was removed, and confirming the output is publication-ready.
