Security and data protection

For business relationships with private individuals, the requirements for the security of customer data are regulated by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We define our minimum standards in line with these and implement them to ensure the security of our customers' data. Mind you: Minimum standards.

Above and beyond these basic requirements, we often consider even greater protection of our customers' data to be sensible. We develop and implement many of the techniques we use on our own initiative, and others in collaboration with our most demanding customers.

Our basic standard: proven a million times over

We use TLS-secured data transmission in conjunction with user identification by password.

You can share your data access individually with other users, for example employees. You can define the assigned rights precisely by specifying who only has access to the documents and who can also change and edit them.

Sometimes upgrading can't hurt

If you wish, you can view all log-ins to your system. This makes it possible to determine at any time who has gained access and when.

To additionally protect your data when sending via the encrypted connection, you can choose to encrypt the document. This practically corresponds to the armored limousine (document encryption) on a blocked route (SSL encryption).

We offer two-step verification as protection against attackers who want to pass off a third-party computer as a customer computer. If a computer is used for the first time as an end device for communication with Toptranslation, the user must identify himself personally, for example by means of a code that he receives via a stored mobile phone number.

Customers who are subject to special security requirements demand that we also meet these requirements. We are happy and usually able to meet individual customer safety standards. In addition, we are constantly monitoring the general development of security requirements.

Control is better

We offer you a quarterly review of server security by external IT security experts. Penetration tests are also carried out, i.e. attacks are simulated.

Naturally

No link must be weaker than the others. Therefore, the highest standards described above also apply to our data traffic with our suppliers such as translators or copywriters.
