    ONE PLATFORM. EVERY STANDARD.
    Use Cases

    Who uses WorkLens, and exactly how

    WorkLens runs entirely in your browser. No files leave your network. Every job produces a cryptographically signed audit receipt — the evidence APRA, your board, and your auditors need.

    🏦

    Primary vertical · ~480 entities

    APRA-Regulated Financial Entities

    ADIs, superannuation funds, and general insurers subject to CPS 234, CPS 230, and the Privacy Act 1988. WorkLens is purpose-built for this buyer.

    CPS 234

    Preparing data exports for APRA audit submissions

    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.

    01Drag the customer data export into WorkLens
    02Select the APRA CPS 234 policy template
    03Review detections — TFN, Medicare, BSB, names, dates
    04Download redacted file + signed audit receipt
    Signed receipt verifiable by APRA auditors
    CPS 230

    Eliminating third-party risk from CPS 230 obligations

    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.

    CPS 230 deadline · 1 July 2026Non-significant financial institutions must have third-party risk controls in place. Zero-upload architecture removes WorkLens from your third-party risk register entirely.
    Board Reporting

    Producing board-level evidence of data handling controls

    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 files
    Superannuation

    Member data redaction for fund administrators

    Superannuation 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.

    01Upload quarterly member extract (CSV/XLSX)
    02WorkLens detects and highlights all PII fields
    03Redact with one click — TFN mod-11, Medicare check digit validated

    Fastest growing vertical · AI compliance

    AI Teams & Automation Engineers

    Financial institutions running AI agents on customer data need a PII firewall between their data and any language model. WorkLens is that firewall.

    AI Compliance

    Redacting PII before data reaches an LLM

    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.

    Board mandateWorkLens is the PII firewall that makes AI agents CPS 234 compliant. Strip customer data before it reaches any language model. Produce a board-level audit receipt proving it.
    Test Data

    Generating safe synthetic test data for AI pipelines

    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.

    01Load production data extract
    02Select morphing mode (not black-box redaction)
    03Consistent pseudonyms generated across all 400 rows
    04Use morphed data safely in AI training or QA pipelines
    API Integration

    WorkLens as a PII middleware layer in n8n or custom pipelines

    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.

    npm install worklens-core · works in any JS environment

    Secondary vertical · people operations

    HR & People Operations Teams

    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

    Sanitising payroll exports before sharing with vendors

    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 validated
    Workforce Analytics

    Anonymising employee data for workforce analytics platforms

    HR 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.

    Developers Building on Regulated Data

    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.

    npm

    Embedding PII detection in a lending or fintech product

    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.

    01npm install worklens-core
    02Import WASM module, pass CSV bytes
    03Receive detections + signed receipt as JSON
    04Forward clean data to your AI endpoint
    AU Validators

    AU-specific PII validation no other library offers

    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-10
    CI/CD

    Pre-commit PII scanning in CI pipelines

    Developers 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.
