Forbes vs. Alex: AI Predictions That Hit or MissAbout Redactive
Redactive is an enterprise AI security platform that helps regulated organisations find and fix overly broad access to unstructured data and apply data-loss rules to prompts sent to AI tools. Andrew Pankevicius and Alexander Valente, both formerly of Atlassian, founded it in Melbourne in 2023 with AI engineer Lucas Sargent. The data governance company RecordPoint acquired Redactive in October 2025, and the platform is now sold through RecordPoint.
