The Cost of Manual Redaction

Manual redaction in default servicing is not just slow, it’s a liability.

Every time someone on your team manually reviews a document, they are one mistake away from a compliance incident. At scale, across thousands of documents a month, that risk adds up fast.

NetDirector’s AI Redact was built specifically for this work. Not as a general redaction tool adapted for legal documents, but as a service trained specifically on the document types your firm handles every day: title reports, legal descriptions, HUD forms, conveyance documents.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Your team submits documents and NetDirector’s AI Redact processes them
• You choose how much oversight you want – fully customizable per servicer and/or per user – and then approve the redactions that were made automatically
• Turnaround is fast – there’s no new software for your team to install or learn, and AI Redact works by itself or via integration
• The Active User Learning means the system improves as it works with your specific document patterns and approvals

Rosanna Henry, Director of Compliance at Mackie Wolf Zientz & Mann, put it simply: “The new [AI Services] have been incredibly valuable to us. It saves an enormous amount of time and effort far above and beyond any other current options.“

NetDirector Unveils Major AI Redact Enhancements to Deliver Greater Control and Speed

PII Pattern Builder tool lets default servicing teams customize redaction rules without technical support, while AI Redaction Editor improves redaction turnaround time by 50%

TAMPA, Fla. — July 8, 2026 — NetDirector, a leading data and document integration provider serving the mortgage default servicing industry, has announced major enhancements to AI Redact, the company’s automated platform built to identify and redact personally-identifiable information (PII) from legal descriptions, title records, HUD forms, PACER filings, and other documents.

Classifiers:   AI Redact can now identify document and page types using contextual information, enabling the system to make more accurate redaction decisions. Organizations can apply different rules based on the document’s purpose, content, or format, helping reduce false positives while maintaining consistent protection of sensitive information.

Tags: This feature provides another level of configuration by allowing redaction rules to be tailored by client, department, functional area, or workflow. Tagged groups can allow their own allow or block settings, giving organizations greater control over the redaction process.

Allow-Range: This feature gives organizations a precise way to protect approved sections of a document from unnecessary redaction. Administrators can easily define, allowing information within protected block-ranges to remain visible while standard redaction rules continue to apply elsewhere.

PII Pattern Builder: This feature allows legal firms and default servicers to build and test their own redaction rules for unique PII formats, document-specific identifiers, and client-specific redaction exceptions without relying on developers or vendors. The result is a faster, scalable way for organizations to fine-tune how they handle sensitive information while improving control, consistency, and auditability in the default process. As an added benefit, the PII Pattern Builder helps firms save money by avoiding costly errors and the associated reworks.

The new AI Redaction Editor, built on next-generation document handling technology, makes the redaction process even quicker and cleaner, with an average 50% improvement in turnaround time for redactions and up to an 80% faster finalization process. Documents also load and respond up to twice as fast as before, with zero lag when scrolling or navigating pages.

“We built AI Redact to automate redactions on key documents critical to the default servicing industry,” said Melissa McCabe, NetDirector’s mortgage banking operations director. “These new tools enable admins and analysts to have more control over the redaction process and spend less time waiting for documents to load, which means they can move faster and have greater confidence in the results.”
