Due Diligence: Why Security matters for Buyers of Language Services

Explore the critical role of security in language service providers and the measures that should be taken to protect client data and systems, at all costs.

Understanding the Importance of Security in Language Services

The importance of security cannot be overstated, especially for buyers of language services. As a language service provider, we understand that the protection of client data and the assurance of confidentiality are not just priorities—they are ingrained in the very fabric of our operations.

A Language Services Provider must have a fortified security ecosystem is designed to meet the highest standards in data protection. They need to have a comprehensive information security policy and cyber security risk management framework and program in place. A program that effectively evaluates, mitigates, monitors, and maintains critical awareness of continually evolving cyber security threats. By prioritising security, they ensure that your clients' sensitive information remains safe and secure.

Advanced Threat Detection Technologies and Security Partnerships

Their information security infrastructure needs to utilise advanced threat detection technologies. This includes partnering with Cyber Security Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

They need to demonstrate that they continually monitor for potential vulnerabilities and proactively thwart cyber threats before they pose any risk to their systems or data.

Comprehensive Cyber Security Risk Management Program

To further enhance cyber security measures, they should have a comprehensive cyber security risk management program. These programs should be supported by an extended suite of 'Best of Breed' threat detection security tools and solutions with daily internal and external vulnerability scanning with annualised penetration testing.

By adopting a multi-layered integrated approach to identifying, understanding, and managing our organisational risk profile, they should be able to demonstrate they are well-equipped to handle any potential security threats.

Testing and Auditing of Cyber Security Policy and Controls

Finally, they should be able to demonstrate that they constantly evaluate the effectiveness of their security measures to ensure that they are up to date and capable of withstanding evolving cyber threats.
