A system includes an electronic processor configured to store records in a client database. The records included personally identifiable information associated with entities and a client identifier reference associated with each of the individuals, the personally identifiable information is accessible based on an authorization level associated with a user. The electronic processor is also configured to receive a document containing both non-personally identifiable information and personally identifiable information, parse the document to determine the presence personally identifiable information in the document, verify the access rights of the reader of the document, match the personally identifiable information included in the document with records stored in the client database, substitute the personally identifiable information included in the document with the corresponding client identifier reference referring to the client database, and generate a human-legible view of the document containing the corresponding client identifier reference.
