Complete, secure case records are critical to a smoothly running court system. Laserfiche’s granular security system helps you design and implement a security policy that works within your existing environment. It also provides you with something file folders can’t: the confidence that your records are safe from tampering, destruction or loss.
- Control expunged or sealed records, and prevent them from showing up in a repository search.
- Dynamically apply document-level security, maintaining different levels of security for each type of document within a case file.
- Guarantee security all the way down to individual words—such as a witness’s name or address—with blackout and whiteout redactions.
- Eliminate misplaced files, files lost in transit from off-site storage facilities and inappropriately accessed files.

- Trigger workflow activities from actions taken in a third-party application, such as your case management system (CMS).
- Maintain the integrity of sealed case files by automatically routing them to a confidential folder.
- Use information extracted from documents, reports and outside data sources to automate indexing and processing.

Managing juvenile, felony, misdemeanor, civil and domestic cases leaves you struggling to control multiple record schedules, differing security requirements and, worst of all, overwhelming amounts of paper. Laserfiche helps you control records related to the different types of cases your court hears, whether archived or current.

- Guarantee the integrity of records—whether scanned paper, electronic or physical—throughout their life cycle.
- Run reports detailing where records are in their life cycle and which records are eligible for transfer, accession or destruction.
- Log system activity to demonstrate compliance with regulations, including expungement or sealing orders.

- Enable registered attorneys to search court records, right from their offices.
- Share protection orders with 911 operators or police officers.
