Certification validates customer data integrity for translation management processes

Wakefield, MA and Maidenhead, UK. – October 27, 2015 SDL (LSE: SDL) today announced that its industry-leading translation management system, SDL WorldServer, has been granted ISO27001 certification by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), validating the company’s commitment to information security best practices to create and support certified applications. This important designation assures SDL customers that their translation management applications were written and are supported with security in mind, whether their deployment is on premise or SaaS-based.

“Achieving ISO27001 certification is part of SDL’s overarching security program, which strives to ensure the integrity of customer data,” said Dominic Kinnon, President, Global Customer Experience Solutions, SDL. “With this designation, SDL now provides global companies with the confidence that all information passing through their translation management systems is protected to the highest, world-recognized standards.”

SDL WorldServer joins SDL Translation Management System (TMS) in achieving this important standard, which is issued only after a successful formal audit of documentation and facilities. While the translation process can often be an overlooked security risk, the protection of proprietary and sensitive information during translation is critical for many organizations as they seek to secure and control the transmission of information throughout the content lifecycle. This is especially the case in security conscious industries such as finance, life sciences and government, where many companies require the use of ISO-certified applications. When centralizing and automating localization processes for any content, global brands utilizing SDL WorldServer now have industry-leading practices in place to securely support their deployment.
