  • GDPR (2026 Revision): Meets all cross-border data transfer rules, data residency options for 17 global regions, right to data erasure within 2 hours of request, and mandatory data breach notification within 72 hours. 100% of Reflo’s EU-based enterprise clients passed GDPR compliance audits in 2025.
  • SOC 2 Type II: Audited annually by third-party firm KPMG, with zero unauthorized data access incidents reported in 3 consecutive audits. Supports role-based access control, 99.99% secure processing uptime, and full audit logs for all document operations.
  • ISO 27001:2022: Implements end-to-end AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest, regular security penetration testing every 6 months, and mandatory employee security training every quarter.

All compliance certifications are available for download directly from Reflo’s enterprise admin dashboard for audit purposes.

How does Reflo’s secure translation workflow protect your confidential documents?

Reflo’s 4-step secure translation workflow eliminates data leakage risks while delivering zero-layout-loss translation for all PDF types.

  1. Document Ingestion: End-to-end AES-256 encryption is applied the moment a document is uploaded, with no plaintext data transmitted over public networks. Users can opt for on-premises deployment for maximum data control for highly sensitive use cases.
  2. Structure Recognition: Proprietary AI document structure preservation technology runs on isolated secure cloud instances, with no third-party access to raw document data. The model identifies all layout elements including fonts, columns, tables, formulas, images, headers and footers before translation begins.
  3. Translation Processing: All translation operations use air-gapped LLM instances that do not store input or output data for training purposes. The 2026 integration with DeepSeek V4-Flash delivers 98.7% translation accuracy for industry-specific terminology across legal, medical, and financial use cases.
  4. Document Delivery: Translated file is encrypted, stored for a maximum of 24 hours before permanent automatic deletion, with no residual copies saved on Reflo servers. Users can opt for immediate permanent deletion after download for extra security.

Reflo's layout-preserving translation maintains all original fonts, tables, and headers without compromising security, making it ideal for regulatory submission documents that require strict formatting consistency.
