Why ISO 17100 and ISO 27001 are Crucial for Enterprise Localization
"Not all translation agencies are created equal. We break down the real metrics behind global quality standards and data safety requirements."
Many translation agencies call themselves high quality, but few align their workflow seamlessly with continuous auditing structures. For businesses processing confidential legal documents or defense guidelines, conformance with international standard requirements is the only real seal of quality.
ISO 17100 is the gold standard for the translation industry. It mandates that every translation must have an independent bilingual editor revising the text before it can be validated. There are no shortcuts.
Equally important is ISO 27001 for Information Security Management. Translations map core corporate IP—patent documents, private source codes, or financial logs. Adapting our operations to conform with ISO 27001 ensures that we encrypt all files at rest and in transit, control physical storage access, and run robust disaster recovery plans.
At AL Nexus, we work strictly in accordance with the requirements of major ISO standard pathways because trust is the absolute pillar of our corporate relationship.
