Detection categories

What Northdocs looks for and how to tune it with keywords.

Northdocs detects 20+ categories, including names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, national IDs (such as CPR), company numbers (CVR), bank/IBAN details, health information, titles, confidential markings, attorney-client privilege, and attorney work product.

How finding works

  • Structured data (IDs, emails, card numbers, IBAN, CPR-style numbers) is matched with deterministic patterns and checksum validation.
  • Unstructured data (names, organizations, addresses, health narrative, privilege language) uses on-device NER plus optional OVHcloud AI Endpoints after first paint.

Tune what gets flagged

You can enable or disable categories under Settings → Categories, and add keyword lists under Settings → Keywords to always redact (include) or never flag (exclude) specific terms. Magic Redact (Pro+) describes a concept in plain language when a pattern is not enough.
