Non-disclosure agreement (NDA) when translating sensitive corporate contracts

Information security as a foundation of trust

In today's business environment, data is the most valuable asset of any company. Legal agreements on mergers and acquisitions, financial reports before official publication, patents and technical specifications of new products, as well as personal data of employees and customers - all this is information whose leakage or unauthorized access could cause catastrophic financial and reputational damage to the company. When you send such materials outside the company zaprevod, you must be absolutely sure that your translation partner applies the highest security standards. A professional agency must guaranteecomplete confidentiality of informationat every stage of the translation process.

What is an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and why is it necessary?

The Data Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) is a legally binding document by which the translation agency undertakes to keep all information, documents and materials received from the client as strict professional secrecy. The NDA defines what is considered confidential information, who can have access to the documents, and what the legal consequences are in the event of a breach of the agreement. In the agencyAlfa prevod d.o.o., signing an NDA is standard procedure before taking any documents for analysis or evaluation. We believe that security starts before translation itself.

Security measures in the agency's IT infrastructure

Legal protection through an NDA contract must be accompanied by concrete technical measures in the agency's IT system. We apply the following security standards:

• Encrypted transmission channels (SSL):All documents you send to us via the website or e-mail are transmitted via secure protocols that prevent data interception.
• Restricted access to files:Only the project coordinator assigned to your project and the translators who work directly on the text have access to your documents. No one else inside or outside the agency can access those files.
• Contractual obligations of translators:All of our full-time translators and court interpreters sign strict internal NDA agreements and are bound by professional secrecy for life under threat of criminal liability.
• GDPR compliance:We fully implement the European Personal Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which guarantees the security of all personal data that may be contained in contracts, medical reports or testimonials.

Secure data archiving and deletion

After the completion of the project and the delivery of the translation, the documents are stored on our encrypted servers for possible subsequent changes or the issuance of additional copies of certified translations (with court interpreters). The client has every right to request the permanent deletion of all original documents and translations from our systems at any time, which we immediately implement with written confirmation. By choosing a certified agency withISO 9001:2015quality standard, you ensure that your most important business secret projects are fully protected.

Process control and safety standards

In the professional sphere of translation, quality is not left to chance. Every translated document in our agency goes through strictly defined stages of control. The first step is the selection of a translator who has proven experience in the professional sphere (eg a lawyer for contracts, a mechanical engineer for manuals). After the completion of the first stage of translation, the document is forwarded to an independent proofreader who checks and removes stylistic deviations. The final step is proofreading and checking the accuracy of numbers, dates and formats before delivery.

The security of your sensitive corporate or personal data is guaranteed. All our translators sign strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and documents are transmitted exclusively through encrypted channels and stored on secure servers in accordance with GDPR regulations.
