1. A method for automatically redacting one or more digital images, the method comprising, as performed by an image security system:
receiving a first digital image of a scanned document, the first digital image comprising a plurality of image fragments determined by dividing the first digital image according to a division pattern;
performing a first redacting operation on a first image fragment of the plurality of image fragments, wherein the first redacting operation is of a first redaction type comprising at least one of: blurring, masking, or inserting a line over all or just a portion of the first image fragment;
performing a second redacting operation on a second image fragment of the plurality of image fragments, wherein the second redacting operation is of a second redaction type comprising at least one of: blurring, masking, or inserting a line over all or just a portion of the second image fragment, and wherein the second redaction type is different from the first redaction type; and
generating a second digital image of the scanned document based at least in part on outputs of the first redacting operation and the second redacting operation.
