Pimloc, an AI-focused company specializing in video privacy and redaction software, announced its participation in the NASRO School Safety Conference, scheduled from June 28 to July 2, 2026, in Reno, Nevada, and ISTELive 26, taking place from June 28 to July 1, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
At Booth #216 in Reno and Booth #1856 in Orlando, Pimloc will engage with leaders in K-12 school safety, security, IT, and education.
The discussions will center around the mounting challenge of protecting student privacy during instances where recorded video and sensitive records are examined, redacted, and released.
Secure Redact: Automating Video Privacy
Pimloc plans to highlight its automated video redaction platform, Secure Redact, at both events. This platform facilitates the preparation of video content for review and release by automatically identifying and blurring faces and other personally identifiable information.
Secure Redact can integrate with existing video management or digital evidence management systems or function as a standalone redaction solution.
The Importance of Protecting Student Privacy
"Schools have access to more video than ever, and that footage can be critical when parents, attorneys or public agencies ask for answers after an incident," stated Andre Greco, VP of U.S. Sales at Pimloc.
"But finding the right clip is only the first step. Before footage can be shared, districts need to protect every other student captured in the recording. That process is still manual in many schools, and it often falls to IT teams that do not have the time, tools or capacity to manage it at scale," he added.
FERPA and Education Records
Secure Redact automatically detects and redacts sensitive details in uploaded videosAccording to FERPA, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(4), education records include any records containing information directly related to a student, maintained by an educational agency or institution.
When school surveillance footage meets these criteria, parents are entitled to information about their own child, but not the personally identifiable information of other students captured in the same recording, as specified by 34 C.F.R. § 99.12. Consequently, clips from hallways, cafeterias, buses, or classrooms must be redacted before release.
Simplifying the Redaction Process
Currently, many districts require staff to manually review and redact video footage frame by frame. This process, often using tools not tailored for educational records, is labor-intensive and risky if any face is missed.
Secure Redact offers automation by allowing districts to upload video content, automatically detecting and redacting faces and other sensitive information. A fully redacted file is available for download along with an audit trail to document the process.
Comprehensive Redaction Capabilities
In addition to video, Secure Redact extends its capabilities to document redaction. It covers sensitive student records such as IEPs, 504 plans, attendance records, reports on free and reduced lunch eligibility, report cards, and other documents containing student information.
Expert Opinion
Greco further commented, "Districts want to be responsive to families, but they also have a responsibility to protect every student who appears on screen or other sensitive documents. Secure Redact gives schools a faster, repeatable way to process video and incident requests so they can release records more safely without adding more manual work for already stretched teams."
Attendees of NASRO can visit Pimloc at Booth #216, while those attending ISTELive 26 can find them at Booth #1856 to gain insights into how Secure Redact can aid in achieving these objectives.
