Translations depend on trust. Often, you entrust a translation agency with your most sensitive documents, including legal contracts, medical records, financial reports, and all sorts of other personal data. Choosing secure translation services has never been more important.
At Semiotic Transfer, we understand that handling such materials demands more than just good language and translation skills. It demands strong data protection. That’s why our IT is certified to ISO 27001, the leading international standards for information security.
What does ISO 27001-certified mean?
Certification in accordance with ISO 27001 means that you’ve built and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS). This system manages information security risks by systematically ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability. As a translation agency this signifies:
We handle your enquiries and documents with full confidentiality and host everything in Switzerland under ISO 27001 standards. Our secure translation services are managed in partnership with ISO 27001-certified provider CSF Computer Solutions Facility AG.
Why data security matters more than ever
Data breaches and cyberattacks are increasingly costly. IBM UK Newsroom reports that in the UK, the average cost of a breach rose to £3.58 million between March 2023 and February 2024. Businesses that rely on secure translation services reduce their exposure to these growing risks.
According to SME Magazine, businesses in financial, tech, and professional sectors often suffer even more.
Attack vectors are increasingly opportunistic, including phishing, stolen or compromised credentials, and third-party vulnerabilities. Many organisations take far too long to detect and contain breaches. Delays make costs explode.
For clients in sectors such as law, finance, machine industry and healthcare, the stakes are even higher. A single data leak can trigger regulatory fines under frameworks like GDPR, expose confidential business strategies, or compromise sensitive patient information. Businesses that suffered cyberattacks also lose millions on a daily basis due to a halt in operations. Beyond financial penalties, the reputational fallout can be devastating, eroding client trust that may have taken years to build. This is why choosing a translation agency with an ISO 27001-certified IT infrastructure isn’t simply a matter of best practice but a business-critical safeguard.
