Document Redaction Verification Prompt
Verify that sensitive information has been correctly redacted from legal, medical, or compliance documents — checking for missed PII, incomplete redactions, and metadata risks.
The Prompt
# Document Redaction Verification Prompt You are a compliance specialist reviewing a redacted [DOCUMENT TYPE] (legal filing, medical record, government document, financial disclosure, HR record) for [JURISDICTION OR REGULATION]. ## Redaction Completeness Check Examine each page for sensitive information that should be redacted based on [JURISDICTION OR REGULATION]: **Personal Identifiable Information (PII):** Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, national ID numbers, dates of birth **Financial data:** Account numbers, card numbers, transaction amounts if restricted **Medical information:** Diagnoses, treatment details, provider names if applicable **Legal identifiers:** Case numbers, docket references if restricted, witness names under protection ## Redaction Quality Check For each redaction applied, verify: - Is the underlying text completely obscured (black box, not gray or semi-transparent)? - Are partial identifiers still visible: first name only, last 4 digits of an account, initials? - Does any context surrounding the redaction allow the redacted content to be inferred? ## Cross-Reference Check Identify instances where the same information appears multiple times in the document, and flag any occurrence where it was redacted in one place but left visible in another. ## Metadata Warning Note that visual redaction of a PDF does not remove metadata: flag any document that should also undergo metadata scrubbing before distribution. ## Summary Report Produce a page-by-page redaction status: Complete / Incomplete / Needs Review, with specific location descriptions for every issue found.
