FEATURE | Veritone Redact Integration

Redact With Confidence. Never Break the Chain of Custody.

Body-worn camera footage, 911 calls, and video evidence are some of the most time-consuming, highest-risk requests your records team handles. Redacting them usually means downloading files out of your system of record, working in a separate tool, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks along the way. Every extra step is a chance to break the very chain of custody you're required to protect.

The JustFOIA Integration for Veritone Redact closes that gap.

One Click. One Chain of Custody. Zero Gaps.

JustFOIA manages public records requests, and Veritone Redact handles AI-powered redaction of sensitive video and audio. Moving a file between the two used to mean manual downloads, tracking, and re-uploads, with every hand-off adding time, risk, and a gap in the audit trail.

This integration closes that gap. From inside a request, staff send a file to Veritone Redact with a single right-click. Once redaction is complete, the finished file and its full audit trail return to JustFOIA automatically, linked to the original request, keeping both versions and a defensible record together in one system.

Veritone Redact Integration Benefits

Problems with Manual Video Redaction

But the JustFOIA Integration...

Integration Capabilities

Send a Video File to Veritone in One Click

No more downloading a file out of JustFOIA, tracking it separately, and re-uploading it when redaction is done. From any request, staff simply right-click the file and send it directly to Veritone Redact. The file transfers securely, cloud to cloud, and JustFOIA remains the system of record throughout.

Let AI do the First Pass on Redaction

Once a video file arrives in Veritone Redact, AI detects common sensitive objects, including faces, license plates, laptop screens, and notepads, as a starting point. Staff review, adjust, and approve the AI’s work rather than starting from a blank slate.

Send the Redacted File back to JustFOIA with a Complete Audit Trail

When redaction is complete, staff click one button to send the finished file back to JustFOIA. The redacted version, the audit trail from Veritone Redact, and the original request are automatically linked together, giving your agency a complete, defensible record in one place.

FAQs: JustFOIA Integration for Veritone Redact

Does the file have to start in JustFOIA for the integration to work?

Yes. Today, the integration is designed to originate from a request in JustFOIA. Sending a file from JustFOIA to Veritone Redact and back keeps the entire chain of custody inside a single connected workflow, which is the best-practice approach for agencies with strict evidentiary or audit requirements.

What happens to the original, unredacted file?

The original file remains in JustFOIA alongside the redacted version once it's returned. Your agency retains both, along with the audit trail covering every action taken during redaction.

Does JustFOIA get the Veritone Redact audit trail, or just the redacted file?

Both. When the redacted file is sent back, it comes with Veritone Redact's audit log, including the user, date and time, and the specific actions taken during redaction. Combined with JustFOIA's own audit trail, your agency has a complete record of the file's full history.

Do we need to buy Veritone Redact separately?

Yes. This integration connects JustFOIA and Veritone Redact, and your agency will need an active license for both solutions to use it. Veritone can help coordinate the evaluation or purchase of Veritone Redact if needed.

What kinds of files can be redacted through this integration?

Video and audio files, including body-worn camera footage, dash-cam video, 911 calls, and other audio or video evidence commonly submitted as part of public records or law enforcement requests.

Is this integration secure enough for CJIS-governed data?

Yes. Files remain protected by JustFOIA's existing security guarantees, including CJIS compliance, while in JustFOIA. Veritone operates in a government cloud, CJIS-secure environment and holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications.
