Three modes — generate synthetic data, redact PII, or swap names with consistent fakes — all running in your browser. Every job produces a cryptographically signed audit receipt your auditors can verify.
By the job you're solving
Same engine, three buyer-language landing pages. Pick the angle that fits what you're trying to do.
Paragraph 14 expects you to control non-production data. Generate synthetic data on your device so customer information never reaches dev / test / staging — and show the auditor a signed receipt.
Read the APRA solution →Reproducing production bugs needs production-shape data. WorkLens generates synthetic datasets that preserve your schema, FK relationships, and edge-case distributions — all on your device.
Read the test-data solution →Models can memorise their training set and leak details at inference. WorkLens generates distribution-faithful synthetic data where no real customer was ever the source — compliant by architecture, not by policy.

ADIs, superannuation funds, and general insurers subject to CPS 234, CPS 230, and the Privacy Act 1988. WorkLens is purpose-built for this buyer.
Before providing customer data extracts to auditors or third-party reviewers, compliance teams must redact PII. WorkLens scans CSV and XLSX files in-browser, applies APRA policy templates, and produces a signed receipt proving exactly which fields were redacted and when — without the data ever leaving the network.
CPS 230 requires APRA entities to manage third-party data sharing risk. Sending files to a cloud redaction vendor creates the exposure you are trying to control. WorkLens processes everything locally — WorkLens is not a third party to your data because your data never reaches WorkLens servers.
Boards are personally accountable for information security under APRA standards. WorkLens audit receipts are tamper-evident — cryptographically bound to the actual scanned file content, chained across jobs, and verifiable without trusting WorkLens. Present them directly to the board or include them in annual report disclosures.
Cannot be fabricated for unscanned filesSuperannuation funds regularly share member data extracts with actuaries, auditors, and platform providers. WorkLens detects TFNs, member names, dates of birth, bank account numbers, and superannuation balances — all AU-validated — before any file is sent externally.
Fastest growing vertical · AI compliance
Financial institutions running AI agents on customer data need a PII firewall between their data and any language model. WorkLens is that firewall.
Every team feeding customer data into Claude, GPT-4, or any hosted AI model is creating a CPS 234 information security event. WorkLens strips PII client-side before the data is passed to any model — producing a receipt proving the redaction happened before the AI call, not after.
Replacing real PII with [REDACTED] breaks referential integrity across 400 rows of customer data. WorkLens deterministic morphing (Phase 2) replaces John Smith with the same consistent fictitious name everywhere — preserving relational structure for model training without exposing real identities.
Automation engineers building document processing pipelines use WorkLens npm package (worklens-core) to add WASM-powered PII detection inline — before files reach any API endpoint. Zero network calls. Pure in-process redaction. Audit receipt returned as JSON for downstream logging.
Secondary vertical · discovery workflows
Discovery and document production workflows involving financial records, employment files, or customer data require PII redaction before disclosure. WorkLens handles bulk CSV and XLSX redaction with a defensible audit trail.
When financial data files are produced in discovery, third-party PII — TFNs, Medicare numbers, account numbers — must be redacted before disclosure. WorkLens processes CSV and XLSX files entirely in-browser, so client data never leaves the firm's device. The signed audit receipt documents exactly what was redacted and by whom.
Audit receipt defensible in Australian courtsResponding to individual access requests under the Privacy Act often requires producing redacted copies of records where third-party information appears. WorkLens applies AU-specific entity recognition — names, addresses, contact details — and produces a timestamped receipt for each redaction event.
Secondary vertical · people operations
Payroll exports, onboarding files, and workforce analytics datasets contain dense PII that must be sanitised before sharing with third-party payroll providers, auditors, or analytics platforms.
Payroll CSV files typically contain TFNs, bank BSBs, account numbers, addresses, and salary figures. WorkLens detects all AU-specific identifiers with checksum validation — not just pattern matching — and redacts them in seconds, in-browser, before the file reaches any payroll platform.
TFN mod-11 · BSB · Luhn-10 validatedHR analytics tools require employee datasets but should never receive personally identifiable records. WorkLens pseudonymises names, strips contact details, and redacts ID numbers — all locally — so your analytics vendor receives statistically valid data without real employee identities.
Distribution channel · npm + Python SDK
Ship PII redaction in your product without building it. worklens-core is a zero-dependency Rust/WASM npm package. No cloud calls. No vendor lock-in. Full audit receipts included.
A startup building a lending platform needs PII stripped from loan applications before passing them to an AI scoring model. worklens-core runs entirely in the browser — no backend integration required. Detection results and audit receipts return as structured JSON.
No browser-native competitor validates TFN mod-11, Medicare check digit, ABN mod-89, BSB format, and Luhn-10 credit card in a single package. WorkLens core validators reduce false positives dramatically — a regex match plus checksum pass means confidence 0.99, not 0.70.
TFN · Medicare · ABN · BSB · Luhn-10Developers accidentally committing test fixtures containing real customer data is a recurring breach vector. WorkLens WASM core can run in Node.js CI steps — scan any CSV or XLSX staged for commit, fail the build if high-confidence PII is detected, emit a receipt for the audit log.
