The demand for language services continues to grow exponentially, driven by the need for accurate and reliable translations in industries like legal, international business, and market expansion.
With this increased demand comes an equally important emphasis on security and confidentiality. When handling sensitive information across languages, it’s essential to partner with a provider that prioritizes data protection and upholds the highest standards of quality.
The LanguageLine Translation Portal is designed to meet these demands. As a cloud-based platform, it centralizes translation project management, streamlining workflows, and facilitating seamless communication between clients and linguists. With strong data security measures in place, you can be confident that your sensitive information is protected throughout the translation process.
Your Data, Always Protected
At LanguageLine, safeguarding your data isn’t just a priority—it’s a promise. Through our Translation Portal, we don’t stop at simply meeting industry regulations like HIPAA; we actively exceed them.
Our HITRUST certification underscores our unwavering commitment to world-class security protocols, ensuring your sensitive information is protected at every step. Regular internal and external audits reinforce our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance, giving you the confidence to entrust us with your most critical data.
Advanced Security Protocols
We know that different businesses have different security needs. Here’s how we keep your information safe:
- File Transfer Security: We use a secure system called ShareFile to send and receive files. We never send files as email attachments, and we can turn off access remotely if needed. If you prefer not to use ShareFile, you can let us know in writing. We also offer other secure ways to transfer files, like FTP, SFTP, and RDS, which keep sensitive data safe by preventing unauthorized saving or copying.
- Backup for Your Files: We back up all your data on our servers using a system called VSS to make sure your data is safe in case something goes wrong. We usually keep customer data indefinitely, but if you need specific retention rules, we can set up an agreement to automatically delete files when required, and we keep logs of these deletions for security checks.
- Controlled Access to Files: Our team can access ongoing projects through secure servers, but if your business needs tighter control—especially in sectors like finance—we can limit access to just the assigned project managers. We track and approve who has access and conduct regular security audits to ensure everything is in order.
- Translation Memories (TMs): These are secure databases that help with translation consistency, but for highly sensitive information, like health-related documents, we don’t use TMs. This helps keep data extra safe.
Enhanced Encryption and Access Controls
We use advanced security measures to keep your data safe, while giving you control over who has access. Here’s how we protect your sensitive information:
- End-to-End Encryption: All the data shared on our platform is protected with strong encryption (TLS 1.2), meaning it’s kept safe while being sent or stored (using AES-256 encryption). This ensures your information is always secure.
- Federated Single Sign-On (SSO): We provide SSO integration. This makes logging in easier and more secure by letting your organization manage who has access to the data.
- User Access Control: Our platform lets you create custom groups to control who can access specific information. You also manage who can register, making sure only the right people can get in.
Robust Cloud Infrastructure
Our translation management platform is hosted on a highly secure, self-managed AWS environment. It is designed to keep your data safe at all times. We use top-tier tools to monitor activity and protect against potential threats, ensuring round-the-clock security. This proactive approach allows us to provide a reliable, consistent service that you can trust.
