How Taika Translations Meets and Exceeds ISO 17100, 9001 & 27001

We maintain a vetted network of 2,000+ linguists across 300+ languages specifically so we can match the right specialist to each job rather than stretch a generalist to fit. When the client or the receiving authority calls for it, we assign ATA-certified translators — and every assignment is made by a project manager who knows which linguist has handled that document type and jurisdiction before.

Our TEP workflow — Translate, Edit, Proofread — adds a dedicated proofreading pass on top of the revision, and we match the layout of your original so stamps, seals, and tables land where a reviewing officer expects them. For certified work we then attach a signed certificate of accuracy, so what you receive is not just a checked translation but a document ready to file with USCIS, a court, or a university.

For regulated or high-stakes content we deliberately pair translator and reviser by field — clinical, legal, or technical — so both sets of eyes understand the subject, not only the language. Everyone who handles your files is HIPAA-trained, so sensitive medical and personal documents are reviewed under the same confidentiality discipline they are translated under.

That managed process has been refined across 80,000+ projects since 2009, and we build responsiveness into it: quotes come back the same business day, standard turnaround is 2–3 business days with rush options when your deadline is tighter, and you get clear status along the way. The same quality-management discipline is what underpins our alignment with ISO 9001.

Our quote and order flow deliberately captures the receiving institution and how you will use the document, so we can tailor certification and formatting to that authority's expectations instead of a generic template. For public-sector buyers, those same specifications can be contracted cleanly through our GSA Schedule and NASPO ValuePoint vehicles.

Consistent with ISO 27001 practices, we back that up with HIPAA-trained staff, secure file handling, and NDAs — or a Business Associate Agreement for protected health information — on request. Our secure document uploader keeps files out of open email entirely, with expiring links so access does not linger after the work is finished.

We stand behind that final quality with a 100% USCIS Acceptance Guarantee scoped to translation quality and a full-year accuracy warranty: if a genuine translation error ever surfaces, we correct it at no charge. That warranty is our confidence in the verification step made contractual — not a marketing line.

Our 5.0★ Google rating reflects that focus, and we make satisfaction enforceable rather than aspirational: same-business-day quoting keeps you moving, and our acceptance guarantee and full-year accuracy warranty turn 'we stand behind our work' into a concrete remedy you can hold us to.

We have hardened that process across 80,000+ projects since 2009, layering in subject-matter routing (the right specialist for the document) and defined turnaround windows so consistency does not come at the cost of speed. A first-time client and a fifteen-year client get the same disciplined handling.

With 2,000+ vetted linguists across 300+ languages, we can resource by specialization rather than availability — matching each document to someone who has done that kind of work before — and escalate to ATA-certified translators when the client or content requires it. Capacity, for us, is a quality lever, not just a scheduling one.

We operationalize that through our guarantee and warranty: a certified translation rejected over our translation quality is corrected at no charge or refunded, so correction is a standing obligation rather than a case-by-case courtesy. Real feedback — including a receiving authority's stated reason for a rejection — is exactly the input that drives the improvement.

For sensitive material we add HIPAA-trained handling and will sign an NDA — or a Business Associate Agreement for protected health information — on request, so the controls scale to the sensitivity of the document. Many of our government and healthcare clients rely on exactly this discipline.

Our dedicated secure document uploader keeps files out of open email from the start, guards the intake against automated abuse with a bot challenge, and issues short-lived, expiring download links so a link cannot be reused long after delivery. It is a controlled channel built specifically so sensitive documents are never floating around unprotected.

An automated retention policy enforces that discipline rather than relying on someone to remember: uploaded files are removed after a defined window, so secure disposal happens by default. Your documents are not left quietly accumulating on our systems after a project closes.

Consistent with ISO 27001, we keep tightening how documents are handled — narrowing access, securing the endpoints clients touch, and training staff on protecting sensitive material — so the controls evolve rather than ossify. For a business built on handling other people's documents, security is never 'set and forget,' and we do not treat it that way.
