Smartbox.ai

For schools, multi-academy trusts, and universities

Protect pupils. Respond to SARs in hours.

Student and staff SARs often involve safeguarding records, disciplinary notes, and third-party content. Smartbox finds what matters, redacts the rest, and gets disclosures out without the all-nighter.

A document in the redaction viewer, with each redaction labelled with its exemption and detected people, organisations and dates listed alongside.
