“By integrating Tonic Textual into our WOO Assistant, we combine the power of a leading AI model with a solution designed specifically for the complex transparency requirements of government organizations, Tonic’s accuracy and deployment model, that also allows for high security air gapped installations, enhances our tool – and combined, sets a new benchmark for secure, reliable, and privacy-compliant document processing and advanced redaction across the public sector.”

Meeting the Highest Standards of Security and Compliance

ilionx selected Tonic Textual to ensure that all data redaction and processing occurs on-premises or in Private Cloud environments, thus meeting the strictest privacy, security, and compliance requirements for sensitive government information. This architecture enables ilionx’s clients to maintain full control of their data while benefiting from advanced AI-driven redaction and entity recognition capabilities.

Unlike other market offerings, Tonic.ai’s technology provides a novel and previously unavailable capability for the Dutch government sector, automating complex document redaction workflows with precision and scalability. After an extensive evaluation of competing providers, ilionx selected Tonic.ai for its unmatched accuracy, adaptability, and proven track record in compliance-grade data handling.

Scalable Redaction, Real-World Impact

This level of processing reflects the scale and urgency of government transparency obligations under the Dutch Transparency Act (WOO). By equipping agencies with a solution capable of handling these volumes efficiently and accurately, ilionx is ensuring that public information requests can be fulfilled quickly, consistently, and with complete confidence in data protection.
