A Certified Proof of Cybersecurity Compliance
The CyberVadis Gold Medal is a globally recognized cybersecurity certification.

Infrastructure and network protection
This certification is a strong add-on to our already existing robust security and data protection framework:

TISAX & SOC 2 Type II: Industry-specific security assessments to validate data protection, availability, and processing integrity controls.

Secure AI Governance: Mitigating Critical Risks
In an AI-growing landscape, cybersecurity has become a top priority in vendor selection. Acolad’s secure AI Governance directly addresses customer concerns, ensuring every stage of their content workflows is secure, compliant, and transparent:
Data Protection: Most public Gen AI tools store and reuse data. That’s why we guarantee ISO-certified workflows, data residency controls, and private AI models tailored to regulated industries.
Sensitive and Regulated Content Handling: From patient records to legal contracts, content processed in localization must remain confidential. Our secure AI Governance includes Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) sign-off and adherence to privacy regulations.
Encryption, Access control, and Data Retention: For fully protected multilingual content, applying GDPR-encryption, role-based access, and secure deletion practices are mandatory standards in our data protection framework.
AI Tools and Shadow IT Risk
The use of unapproved tools or software by employees outside official enterprise governance, better known as Shadow IT, is one of today’s rising concerns. In the multilingual content context, this might mean using unauthorized translation apps or free open Gen AI tools, like ChatGPT, DeepL, Google Translate.
By integrating Secure AI Governance and rigorous audits like CyberVadis, we move beyond the simple promotional message of “100% secure and compliant.” Acolad demonstrates a deep commitment to customer data protection and showcases a unique blend of innovation, trust, and expertise, supported by a global ecosystem of secure, compliant, and resilient content solutions.
