Security reviews always come down to one question: can we trust you with our data? Most vendors answer with a logo wall and a promise. Your security team then spends weeks chasing PDFs, NDAs, and questionnaire answers by email.
The Translated Trust Center is built to cut that loop. It puts Translated’s compliance posture in one place, including its new SOC 2 Type II report, and gives you a single path to request the documents your review needs. Because Lara Translate is built by Translated, it’s also the right starting point for any Lara Translate vendor assessment.

TL;DR
|
What is the Translated Trust Center?
Security answers usually live everywhere at once: a PDF in one inbox, a sales deck in another, a questionnaire half-filled in a shared drive. The Translated Trust Center pulls that into a single hub designed for procurement, IT, and security teams running vendor due diligence.
Here’s what you get there:
- A clear overview of Translated’s security posture and compliance items.
- Public documents you can download right away, plus a way to request access to private security documentation.
- If your team wants to stay current, a subscribe option for Trust Center updates.
That matters if your organization runs a formal vendor risk process. You move from “marketing answers” to reviewable evidence much faster.
What does the SOC 2 Type II report mean?
Many enterprise security questionnaires ask one thing before anything else: do you have a SOC 2 Type II report? Translated now does, and it’s listed in the Trust Center.
SOC 2 is an attestation framework from the AICPA. An independent auditor examines a company’s controls against the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The difference between the two report types is worth knowing:
- SOC 2 Type I checks whether controls are designed correctly at a single point in time.
- SOC 2 Type II goes further. The auditor tests whether those controls actually operated effectively over an extended observation period, typically several months.
Type II is the one enterprise buyers usually ask for. It shows the controls hold up in daily operation. You’ll often hear it called a “certification,” though technically it’s an audit report you request and review.
Which certifications and compliance items are listed in the Trust Center?
Different standards answer different parts of the trust puzzle. The Translated Trust Center lists these compliance items:
- SOC 2 Type II
- GDPR
- ISO 9001:2015
- ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022
- PCI DSS
Documentation for ISO 17100:2015, the standard for translation services, is also available in the Trust Center’s documents section.
What each standard means in plain English
| Standard | What it signals | Why you should care |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | Independent audit of how controls operated over a period of time. | The report most enterprise vendor reviews ask for first. |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | A managed information security system with risk-based controls. | Sensitive content needs security run as a system, with clear owners. |
| GDPR | Lawful, transparent personal data processing and user rights. | Emails, tickets, and contracts often contain personal data. |
| PCI DSS | Controls for handling payment card data. | Payment flows follow strict security requirements. |
| ISO 9001 | Quality management discipline and continuous improvement. | Fewer surprises in delivery and support. |
| ISO 17100 | Documented processes and qualified resources for translation services. | Useful when localization is business-critical. |
One honest caveat. Certifications are evidence of a managed program and specific controls. They can’t answer every question on their own. The Trust Center is valuable because it lets you check the details and request what your process requires.

What should your security team check or request?
When a review question lands on your desk, you need to know where the answer lives. This table maps the most common ones.
| If your review asks | In the Trust Center | Then for Lara Translate |
|---|---|---|
| “Do you have a SOC 2 Type II report?” | Request the report through the Trust Center. | Confirm scope with the Lara Translate team if your policy needs product-level coverage. |
| “Show me your certifications.” | Open the compliance list and download what’s public. | Review Learning vs Incognito mode and the data security page. |
| “Who are your subprocessors?” | Request any gated privacy documents you need. | Save the published subprocessor list to your vendor record. |
| “How do retention and deletion work?” | Request the legal and privacy documentation your policy requires. | Document retention by mode and the deletion request flow. |
How does this reflect on Lara Translate?
Lara Translate is built by Translated, a company with more than 25 years in the language industry. That connects the Trust Center to Lara Translate in two concrete ways:
- Governance and controls. The security program behind Translated’s SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 is the foundation for how its products are built and operated.
- Product-level privacy. On top of that, Lara Translate gives you practical controls for translating real, sensitive content.
Here’s how security teams usually connect the dots:
- Pick the right privacy mode. Learning Mode stores translation texts, encrypted, to improve quality over time. Incognito Mode stores no translation texts at all.
- If you used Learning Mode and need data removed, request deletion by emailing Lara Translate support with your account details.
- Check data in transit. Lara Translate uses TLS encryption between users and its servers, with access to stored data limited to authorized staff.
- Review the Data Processing Addendum, which sets out GDPR-based terms on subprocessors, transfers, security, and retention.

Subprocessors and data processing locations
Certifications cover how a company runs security. They don’t tell you which third parties touch your data. That’s the transparency gap most reviews still have to close manually.
Lara Translate publishes a Subprocessors and Data Processing Locations page. For each provider, it lists the category, the purpose, where processing happens (typically the EU, the US, or both), and the legal basis or transfer safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
It answers the questions your DPO will ask anyway:
- Which vendors handle hosting, monitoring, payments, analytics, or support?
- Where can processing take place?
- Which safeguards apply to cross-border transfers?
How to use the Trust Center in a real security review
Most reviews stall on waiting. This order keeps things moving:
- Start with the overview and map Translated’s listed standards to your internal requirements.
- Download what’s public to get your initial assessment going.
- Request the SOC 2 Type II report and any other private documentation your process requires.
- Cross-check Lara Translate specifics: privacy modes, deletion flow, DPA, and the subprocessor list.
- Subscribe to updates so you hear about new reports or certification changes without asking.
- Log your findings in your vendor risk workflow and send open questions to support.
One hub, one request path, fewer scattered documents. That’s the whole point.
