Pimloc, a provider of AI-powered video privacy and redaction software, has launched Secure File Sharing, a new capability in its Secure Redact platform that lets public safety agencies, school districts, and other organizations deliver redacted video, audio, and documents directly to requestors through a secure, expiring link, accelerating delivery without the file ever being downloaded, re-uploaded, or emailed as an attachment.

For agencies handling FOIA and public records requests, and school districts responding to requests for student records governed by FERPA, this means redacted footage or documents can go straight from the platform to the requestor – a parent, an attorney, a records custodian – without the records team downloading the file and re-uploading it into a separate case management or video management system first.

“Redaction itself is only one step of safely releasing sensitive footage and records,” said Simon Randall, CEO of Pimloc. “The next challenge is getting that file to the right person without creating another point of exposure. When someone downloads a video, attaches it to an email, or hands it off to another system, that’s where it can end up with the wrong person or sit somewhere it shouldn’t. Secure File Sharing removes that step entirely. The file never leaves the platform until the right person, verified, opens it.”

Once a video or document has been redacted in Secure Redact, the sender can generate a share link instead of exporting the file.

The recipient receives an email, confirms their own email address, and enters a one-time passcode sent separately before they can view or download the file. No Secure Redact account or login is required to access it. The sender can also set how long the link stays active, after which access expires automatically.

Every share is logged automatically. Secure Redact’s audit trail records when a link is sent, when it’s accessed, and when the file is downloaded, giving records teams a complete, timestamped chain of custody for court proceedings or compliance review. Access to the audit log itself is restricted to the person who controls the original file.

“For records teams that are already stretched thin, this closes the gap between finishing a redaction and getting it into the hands of whoever asked for it,” Randall added. “For school districts especially, it means an IT administrator can respond to a parent’s request directly, without needing a video management system or asking the parent to create an account just to see footage of their own child.”

The launch came as Pimloc met with school safety, IT, and education leaders at ISTELive 26 in Orlando, Florida, last week and with public safety and security leaders at the NASRO School Safety Conference in Reno, Nevada, several weeks earlier.

Secure File Sharing is available now to all Secure Redact customers across video, audio, and document workflows.
