NYC area expert explains how the wise use of technology streamlines FOIA and public records requests, improves compliance, and protects privacy—in a new article from Messaging Architects
HOBOKEN, N.J., Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and information governance expert, explains technology to expedite FOIA and public records requests in a new article. The informative article first asserts that responding to such requests can prove time-consuming and expensive, particularly if the records contain sensitive information that must be redacted.
The author then relates how government agencies can simplify the process with a centralized FOIA and public records request platform. He adds that defensible data collection and production improves compliance. He concludes by relating how that the IPRO system described also balances the public interest with the protection of privacy.
"By locating and assessing data in its original location, agencies significantly reduce response time," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "Additionally, automated processing, powered by AI, speeds the collection and processing of information while reducing human error."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Expedite FOIA and Public Records Requests with Leading eDiscovery Solution."
Simplify with Centralized FOIA and Public Records Request Platform
"By using tools that search all the organization's information repositories from a single view, the agency simplifies processes and reduces costs. A competitive eDiscovery solution like IPRO will allow the response team to navigate multiple data sources with ease from a centralized location."
"Additionally, powerful features such as advanced searches, filtering, automated tagging, and metadata extraction allow responders to perform an initial data review in-place. This reduces both the size of the eventual data set and the opportunity for error-prone handoffs."
Defensible Data Collection and Production Improves Compliance
"To minimize legal risk, the agency must ensure a defensible and compliant process. Data spoliation or failure to capture all relevant information can open the agency up to both stiff penalties and loss of public trust."
Balance Public Interest with Protection of Privacy
"One of the most time-consuming and tedious tasks in responding to FOIA and public records requests involves redacting sensitive or confidential information from the records. Redacting information manually can be prone to errors, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies. But laws like Daniel's Law make it imperative that agencies protect sensitive data."
