Smartling Achieves ISO 27001 Certification, Strengthening Security for AI Translation

New York, NY – December 4, 2025 – Smartling, the LanguageAI™ translation company, today announced it has achieved ISO 27001 certification, the globally recognized standard for information security management systems. The certification validates Smartling's approach to protecting customer data across people, processes, and technology, reinforcing its position as the most trusted AI translation platform for regulated industries.

As more enterprises like Verizon, Mastercard, and Pinterest adopt Smartling’s AI products, they need to know they aren’t risking data exposure in order to benefit from AI translation. To earn ISO 27001 certification, Smartling underwent a rigorous two-stage audit evaluating how it establishes, operates, and continuously improves its security system. The certification covers access management, encryption, monitoring, data isolation, and incident response, controls that apply directly to Smartling's AI translation workflows. 

Smartling now maintains one of the most comprehensive security and compliance portfolios in the localization industry, addressing the stringent security requirements increasingly mandated in enterprise RFPs. Particularly for healthcare, life sciences, and insurance, ISO 27001 and HITRUST certifications are often prerequisites for onboarding vendors. 

"Security compliance is non-negotiable for enterprises adopting AI," said Smartling CEO Bryan Murphy. "Our customers need confidence that their sensitive content—including patient records, financial documents, proprietary data—is protected throughout the translation process. ISO 27001 proves we've built the right controls into our systems from the ground up."

The certification solidifies Smartling’s position as a best-in-class AI translation provider as enterprise security expectations rise alongside AI adoption. Organizations now scrutinize how AI systems handle, store, and process customer data—especially when it involves sensitive information like health records or intellectual property. Smartling's AI features are built and deployed under the same secure processes audited in the certification.

For regulated industries, the certification removes procurement friction. Combined with HITRUST e1, SOC 2, and HIPAA compliance, Smartling can now accelerate security reviews and eliminate vendor risk objections that can delay or even block deals.
