Lionbridge Awarded ISO 27701:2019 Certification

First language services provider to receive certification, underscoring Lionbridge’s commitment to customer data protection.

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lionbridge, a global leader in translation and localization solutions, today announced it has achieved full certification to the ISO 27001:2013 and 27701:2019 standards. Compliant companies with this accreditation have certified their personnel, information technology (IT) systems, applications, policies, procedures, standards, tools, utilities and data used in the execution of services in accordance with the ISMS Statement of Applicability (SOA).

ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 27701:2019, awarded by processing company A-LIGN, certify Lionbridge’s end-to-end processes -- not just the data center. This includes all of Lionbridge’s employees, processes and technologies.

Lionbridge wanted to go beyond the standard ISO 27001:2013 certification and achieve ISO 27701:2019 compliance as this certifies the company’s full data lifecycle, including personal data and not just storage. As a leading translation company, Lionbridge handles customer data and intellectual property daily. It is imperative that customers trust their provider’s information processes.

“We’re thrilled to be the first language services provider to receive this certification,” said Lionbridge Chief Trust Officer Douglas Graham. “The largest corporations in the world trust us to get their message right and share it with the world – safely and securely. Everyone at Lionbridge is committed to upholding that trust and takes security as a personal responsibility. This certification confirms our processes and teams are compliant and underscores our commitment to our customers.”

The ISO 27701:2019 certification joins a long list of ISO certifications that Lionbridge has held since its inception.

“Cybersecurity and data privacy are paramount concerns for global companies. The security landscape is always changing, and Lionbridge is proud to have a strong security program with a focus on continuous improvement,” said Lionbridge CEO John Fennelly. “Clients have always been able to trust Lionbridge for accurate, impactful translations and this additional certification is an added bonus and a testament to the strength of our Trust team and global teams.”
