Tiimely’s automated TFN detection leverages advanced pattern recognition to instantly identify and secure Tax File Numbers upon document upload, protecting your customers sensitive data. This enhancement streamlines your compliance process while strengthening privacy controls—delivering both operational efficiency and enhanced data protection.

What is Auto-Redaction of TFNs

Manually identifying and removing TFN numbers after a client has uploaded tax documents for financial assessments is a time-consuming process.

Tiimely’s auto TFN redaction functionality automates the detection and redaction of tax file numbers, saving assessors time so they can focus on higher value work.

Auto-redaction of TFNS allows businesses to:

  • Get more efficiency out of their workforce by automatically removing sensitive data from documents.
  • Gain peace of mind that they are taking all reasonable efforts to protect their customers’ data as soon as it enters their system.

How does TFN redaction work in Xapii?

When a document is uploaded to Xapii it will be auto classified. If the document is classified as a tax return or notice of assessment, then the auto-redaction process will begin.

  1. The document will be added to the document library.
  2. The document is auto classified as a tax document and queued for redaction
  3. Xapii scans the document for tax file numbers and begins redacting.
  4. Once the process is complete, the document status will be updated to complete, and context is provided on whether it was successful or occurred with warnings.

Auto-redacting TFNs means your team spends less time on tedious manual checks and more time on actual assessments.

The process runs quietly in the background, handling the privacy requirements so you don't have to worry about missed redactions or compliance gaps. It's a straightforward solution that just works—keeping sensitive data secure while getting documents processed faster.
