• {{current_process}}: any existing workflow or tools used.

Instructions

2. Outline a step-by-step approach to identify and redact the specified sensitive data.
3. Recommend tools or methods (e.g., OCR, regex, AI models) that can automate the redaction process.
4. Provide strategies to verify the thoroughness of redaction and maintain compliance.
5. Suggest how to integrate this into an existing workflow.

Output format Present a structured plan with sections: Approach, Tools, Verification, and Compliance. Use clear, actionable language.
