SecureRelease for Public Sector: Government Records Management Platform

Deloitte SecureRelease™ is a next-generation SaaS solution purpose-built to help transform the way government agencies and public sector entities manage information disclosure and regulatory compliance. Leveraging multiple eDiscovery capabilities, SecureRelease™ is designed to handle large volumes of electronic data with efficiency, security, and scalability.

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION AND GENAI-DRIVEN FEATURES

At the core of SecureRelease™ is a sophisticated suite of intelligent automation and GenAI-powered functionalities that streamline the end-to-end disclosure lifecycle, from intake and review to release and appeals. The platform employs advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to accelerate and enhance every stage of the process:

• Automated Data Ingestion and De-duplication: SecureRelease™ uses intelligent algorithms to identify and eliminate duplicate documents during data ingestion, confirming that only unique records are processed. This helps reduce manual review time and increase overall efficiency. The de-duplication feature is effectively integrated into the platform, eliminating the need for costly add-ons.

• Accelerated Review with Advanced Search and Analytics: The platform leverages eDiscovery analytics capabilities, including clustering, concept-based analytics, and email threading, to organize and prioritize documents for review. These tools enable users to quickly surface relevant information, reducing the effort required for large-scale document review.

• AI-Assisted Redactions: SecureRelease™ incorporates GenAI and machine learning models to automate the redaction of sensitive information. The system is pre-configured with templates of commonly exempt terms and continuously learns from manual redaction actions, improving accuracy and completeness over time. This adaptive approach is designed to protect sensitive data while minimizing the risk of human error.

• Configurable Workflows and Case Management: The platform offers highly configurable workflows that can be tailored to agency-specific requirements. SecureRelease™ supports the full disclosure lifecycle, including automated intake (via direct portal or integration with national portals like FOIA.gov), tracking, processing, and reporting. Its case management capabilities exceed those of traditional systems, providing granular control and transparency at every step.

• End-to-End Compliance and Security: SecureRelease™ is offered as a SaaS solution in Deloitte FedRAMP Authorized Moderate cloud, meeting stringent security standards such as FISMA, NIST 800-53 Rev. 4, and DoD MAC II. The infrastructure is physically and logically isolated from commercial environments and employs FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption technologies, confirming that sensitive government data remains protected.

• Scalability and Performance: The platform is hyper-scalable, supporting thousands of concurrent users and accommodating petabytes of data without performance degradation. This makes it suitable for government agencies with high-volume disclosure obligations or significant backlogs.

• Integration Capabilities: SecureRelease™ can effectively integrate with existing disclosure management systems and external technologies, including payment and request portals like FOIA.gov and Pay.gov, enabling a unified and efficient workflow.
