The client, county clerk of a county has a public office which provides the “checks and balances” for local government as accountant and auditor for the Board of Country Commissioners; the collector and distributor of statutory assessments and is the guardian of the public records, public funds and public property.

The county clerk maintains land records of the state. These land records contain the mortgage documents as a part of the original land records. The county maintained all these records in the form of paper documents and 16/32 mm microfilms. These details contained sensitive and confidential information of the public, such as social security number, bank account details, debits, charges, or credit card number.

Every person in the county has a right to request that the clerk of the Circuit Court to remove the above mentioned sensitive information from the copy of the court document.

We handled these documents in client specific secure area to maintain confidentiality. The client provided us with 16/32 mm microfilms which contained these documents. The microfilms were scanned on a microfilm scanner, and we setup the process to clean and de-skew the images and recreated the documents. Every document had an ID number by which an individual can be tracked. We masked these ID numbers with own internally generated codes to make the document secure at the first level. A custom designed process was created by which such sensitive information was identified and blanked out.

We have successfully delivered a large volume of electronic documents by black stripping them of such sensitive information. The County now publishes this information on the Internet.
