The European Union (E.U.) has introduced the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”), which is a new privacy regulation containing security and privacy requirements to fully protect data belonging to E.U. based individuals.
GDPR was adopted by the European Parliament in April 2016 and goes into effect on May 25, 2018.
GDPR is applicable for companies based in and out of the E.U. where data collection and personal data handling from EU-based individuals is in play. Any information which can be used on its own or with other information to locate, contact or identify a single person such as names, identification numbers, online identifiers, location data, or any other factors specific to the individual’s genetic, physical, mental, physiological, cultural, economic, or social identity is considered to be Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
In order to be in compliance with GDPR, any company handling or collecting PII. I pertaining to EU-based individuals needs to ensure their data management protocol adheres to all requirements detailed within GDPR.
Included in the requirements for GDPR are cross-border data flow mechanisms, technical/operational security measures, notice & consent, accountability and data minimization.
Specifically:
For over a year, ISI Language Solutions has been re-addressing security at all levels to account for broad changes. The Company has carefully assessed all relevant GDPR details and has ensured they have been appropriately matched with the Company’s privacy roadmap and security policies and controls. The Company has decided to offer the same level of compliance for any user, regardless of their nationality or place of residence, in anticipation of GDPR spreading globally.
ISI Language Solutions’ technology and service offerings have pre-established privacy and security features already in place, putting our customers in control. ISI Language Solutions’ commitment is to help customers, regardless of location or nationality, maintain stringent controls and accountability for all online and offline offerings through which a customer’s data may be attainable.
ISI Language Solutions’ cloud-based offering relies on industry-leading partners and data providers, each with S.O.C. 2 reports that are re-issued on an annual basis. Data protection is managed throughout the entire data lifecycle, and our commitment is to continuously improve on data handling throughout our existence as a service provider.
As needed, please contact your ISI Language Solutions representative for further clarification.

According to standard definitions, an Information Security Policy is a set of rules enacted by an organization to ensure that all users or networks of the I.T. structure within the organization’s domain abide by the prescriptions regarding the security of data stored digitally within the boundaries the organization stretches its authority. Attaining this goal involves setting up an Information Security Policy for the organization and ensuring its adherence. This policy should cover things like acceptable uses of technology, risk reviews at a senior level, operational security procedures, and other general administrative tasks.
An I.S.P. is governing the protection of information, which is an asset the organization needs to protect. Information may be printed, written, spoken, visually explained. In addition, it can be mailed, sent electronically, visually, or verbally transmitted. Information should be appropriately secured regardless of its nature, transmission, or storage.
The organization has implemented the I.S.P. with the goal of identifying, assessing, and taking steps to avoid or to mitigate risk to ISI Language Solutions information assets. Information security is achieved by implementing a suitable set of controls, including policies, organizational structures, and software and hardware functions. These controls are established, implemented, monitored, and controlled to ensure that the specific security and business objectives of the organization are met. Such is executed in conjunction with the 9001 Quality Management System (Q.M.S.) processes implemented by the organization.
To implement and properly maintain a robust information security function, the organization recognizes the importance of:
This policy and all related documentation apply to all information, information systems, networks, applications, locations, and users of ISI Language Solutions or external providers.
4.1 security organization management
The Management Team, including the V.P. of Technology, have established an 07F18 Security Management Structure document. The Security Management Team has the following responsibilities and authority assigned:
Information security responsibilities are clearly defined, maintained, and communicated. These responsibilities include the security of ISI Language Solutions information assets and information technology that are accessed, processed, communicated to, or managed by external parties.
4.2 roles and responsibilities
The Information Security Policy has been established, documented, and is maintained with the purpose of continuous improvement and assurance that the organization’s information is secure. Within the Information Security Policy, roles and responsibilities have been defined and assigned to specific individuals or groups within its organization.
Information Security Steering Group (ISSG): Responsible for information security in the organization to reduce risk exposure and ensure the organization’s activities do not introduce undue risk. The group is responsible for ensuring compliance with established security policies, processes and security initiatives, and with state and federal regulations.
Information Security Officer (ISO): Responsible for information security at the business level for reducing risk exposure, drafting policies, and for ensuring the organization’s activities do not introduce undue risk to the enterprise. The ISO is responsible for ensuring compliance and adherence to this policy.
Information Asset Owner (I.A.O.): Responsible for approving decisions regarding controls and access privileges, performing periodic reclassification and ensuring regular reviews for value and updates to manage changes to risk.
User: Responsible for complying with the provisions of policies and procedures.
The table below uses the RACI (R= Responsible A= Accountable C= Consulted I= Informed) model, for identifying roles and responsibilities during an organizational change process
Managers: Managers ensure employees are aware of the relevance and importance of their activities and how they contribute to the achievement of information security objectives. They also ensure that
employees are aware of and comply with all information security policies and procedures of the organization relevant to their role.
I.T. Team: The team is responsible of the following areas related to information security:
The organization has defined the expectation and principles relating to how system setup and credential privileges should be managed. User accounts and privileges shall be managed correctly to ensure authorized user access to information systems is possible while unauthorized access is not, such as but not limited to:
The I.T. Team has established procedures to ensure a consistent and effective approach to the management of information security incidents and I.T. requests, including communication on security events and weaknesses. It enables the efficient and effective management of information security incidents by providing structure for the reporting and management of such incidents.
Information security incidents and I.T. requests shall be reported promptly and responded to in a quick, effective, and orderly manner to reduce the negative effect of incidents, repair damage, and mitigate future risks. Tickets are to be submitted to I.T. Help Desk I.A.W. 07P08 I.T. Service Desk S.O.P.
Weekly reports will be generated by the I.T. Service Desk system for all tickets labeled ‘security’. Trends will be analyzed to determine if any discernible patterns require further investigation.
The I.T. team has daily meetings where, if necessary, post-mortem and trend analysis is discussed. Any serious incidents should be recorded in the Non-Conformance log, and a C.A.R. may be originated I.A.W. 10P01 Corrective Action Request S.O.P., if deemed necessary.
BIG IP has deployed a change management process in order to prevent unintended service disruptions and to maintain the integrity of all company services. There is segregation of duties, and all requests go through a workflow process consisting of request, approval, implementation, and review I.A.W. 07P08 I.T. Service Desk S.O.P. Rollback procedures are documented in case there is a need to go back to a previous state, even though change plans are related to minimal marketable features (MMF) most of the time. Layers of authorization and logging exist, so that production changes are controlled and monitored. Only authorized engineers are able to login to central configuration management machines from where production changes can be applied. BIG IP communicates to different stakeholders when the services might be adversely affected.
Risk assessments will identify, quantify, and prioritize threats that may become relevant to the organization. The results will guide and determine appropriate organization action and priorities for managing information security risks and for implementing controls needed to protect information assets.
Risk management will include the following steps:
Details of our selected controls and how they have been implemented and measured are considered confidential information and restricted to ISI Language Solutions. The following sections have been removed to make this document available to the public: security policy, organization of information security, asset management, human resources security, physical and environmental security, communications and operations management, access control, information systems acquisition, development and maintenance, information security incident management, business continuity management and compliance.

Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that IS Language Solutions disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will disclose to you:
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that ISI Language Solutions delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
For instructions on exercising sale opt-out rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We currently do not provide financial incentives.
