IRI Adds Signature Detection and Redaction to DarkShield

Another AI-Powered PII Discovery Feature for Unstructured Data Masking Tool

MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Routines International, Inc. (IRI, The CoSort Company), has partnered with SoulPage IT Solutions to locate and redact hand-written signatures in document and image files. The partnership has resulted in the integration of an optional AI-powered location matcher in the IRI DarkShield data masking product. This means DarkShield users can find and obfuscate signatures, a heretofore elusive form of personally identifiable information (PII) in digital files.

The accurate detection of signatures which manifest in many forms and locations in electronic files, requires a sophisticated artificial intelligence model. After considerable research and testing, IRI selected DeepLobe.AI, a division of SoulPage, to give DarkShield a solid way to discover and redact signatures.

Since 2017 DarkShield has used multiple search methods and masking functions to classify and de-identify PII in structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources. Signature detection is now another form of AI DarkShield uses. DarkShield already supports and helps train modern Named Entity Recognition (NER) models in multiple languages to find and mask people's names inside sentences.

According to IRI Software Engineer Devon Kozenieski, "this new DeepLobe feature will give DarkShield users a high accuracy option for signature detection and redaction. It's a great addition to the range of PII discovery and masking functionality that DarkShield provides for sensitive data in unstructured sources." 

Murali Krishna, founder & CEO of SoulPage, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: "We are thrilled to collaborate with IRI to bring our AI expertise to DarkShield. Our advanced AI will enhance the content-aware data loss prevention strategies that keep IRI at the forefront of data-centric security."
