Redact. Share Safely. Every Time.
Whether you're uploading to an AI tool, forwarding documents to a client, or sharing an agreement with third parties — ShieldDocs ensures sensitive data stays protected at every step.
Your Documents. Your Device. Nobody Else's Business.
ShieldDocs by TAXTECK is an offline PDF redaction tool built specifically for CAs, advocates and compliance professionals — protecting client data across AI uploads, document sharing, and confidential agreements.
Every unredacted ITR, tax notice, salary slip, or agreement you upload to an AI tool or share over email exposes your client's PAN, home address, mobile number, bank details, and financial data to external servers. Under the ICAI Code of Ethics and India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, this may constitute a breach of your professional confidentiality obligations — even if unintentional.
CAs, advocates, and compliance teams inadvertently expose client data every day through three distinct but equally serious channels. ShieldDocs addresses all three.
Uploading client ITRs, tax notices, and computation sheets to ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or Gemini to draft replies transmits sensitive client PII to third-party servers. Under the ICAI Code of Ethics and DPDP Act, this constitutes a breach of professional confidentiality — even if unintentional.
Salary slips, KYC documents, bank statements, and financial reports shared over email and WhatsApp without redaction carry mobile numbers, Aadhaar details, account numbers, and employer information that was never intended for anyone beyond the primary recipient.
Commercial agreements, NDAs, and contracts shared with multiple parties at different stages often contain pricing schedules, penalty clauses, party identities, account numbers, and confidential annexures that must be masked for specific recipients — opposing counsel, reviewers, or regulators.
Five powerful features that cover every redaction scenario a professional faces — all working together offline, on your machine.
ShieldDocs runs entirely on your local machine. No internet connection is required during redaction. Your files never touch a server at any stage — before, during, or after processing.
No Internet RequiredImport the ITR JSON file and ShieldDocs automatically identifies PAN numbers, full addresses, mobile numbers, email IDs, and other personal identifiers. No manual field searching — ever.
Saves Hours of Manual WorkProcess an entire client folder in one go — 10, 50, or 100 PDFs simultaneously. Ideal for CA firms and compliance teams dealing with large document volumes during filing season.
High Volume ReadyTax notices and older documents are often scanned image PDFs. ShieldDocs's built-in OCR engine reads and redacts text from image-based PDFs — no additional software needed.
Works on All PDF TypesAdd any word, phrase, clause number, name, or commercial term to your redaction list. Works for legal agreements, financial documents, contracts, and any regulatory filing of any type.
Fully CustomisableNo subscriptions, no annual renewals, no surprise charges. Pay ₹1,499 once and ShieldDocs is yours forever — including all future updates. Own your tool outright.

No. ShieldDocs runs entirely on your local machine. Files are never transmitted to any server at any stage — not for processing, not for licensing, not for any reason. Your data stays on your computer, always.
When you import the ITR JSON file (downloaded from the income tax portal), ShieldDocs automatically extracts and queues the PAN number, full residential address, mobile number, and email ID for redaction — without you searching for them manually in the document.
Yes. Beyond ITR-based auto-capture, you can define custom keywords, phrases, clause references, party names, or commercial terms you want redacted. This makes it ideal for masking confidential sections of agreements before sharing with specific parties.
Once redacted, the PDF no longer contains the sensitive fields. The AI tool only sees the redacted version — blacked-out blocks where the PAN, address, and other PII used to be. You get the full drafting benefit of AI without any data leakage risk.
Yes. ShieldDocs has a built-in OCR engine that reads image-based and scanned PDFs. Income tax notices downloaded from the ITD portal, older assessment orders, and scanned court documents are all supported.
Yes — completely. There are no annual renewals, no subscription tiers, and no per-seat or per-file charges. You pay ₹1,499 once and have full access to ShieldDocs for life, including future updates.
ShieldDocs is currently available for Windows as a desktop application. It runs natively on your machine without requiring any cloud sync, browser extensions, or third-party services.
India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act and the ICAI Code of Ethics place a professional duty of confidentiality on CAs and other advisors. Uploading client documents to AI tools without redacting them may expose professionals to regulatory risk. ShieldDocs helps you stay compliant while still benefiting from AI tools.
