Principal Security Measures

Protecting clients’ data and contents stored electronically (PC security)

• Control of access to PCs and servers
  →Access to all company PCs requires a password and user ID
• Complete prevention of P2P file sharing software from leaking information
  →Company personnel are prevented from downloading and installing software on company PCs.
  →All P2P file sharing software has been completely removed from company PCs.
  →Firewalls are maintained on all company routers.
  →Non-work related e-mail attachments are banned.
• Prevention of information leakage when sending rewritten work and translations as email attachments from Human Global Communications to clients
  →All files are sent as password-protected self-extracting files.
• Physically taking media containing clients’ personal data and content out of the office is forbidden to prevent information being leaked outside of the office.
  →All files are encrypted so that they can only be opened/read by company PCs that have suitable software installed.
  →All removable memory devices (e.g., USB memory sticks) have software installed that prevents them being used unless they are password protected.

Protecting client’s data and content stored as hardcopy

Furthermore, all Human Global Communications employees sign a confidentiality agreement regarding proprietary information, personal data and client content. This agreement remains in effect after an employee has left the company.
