Enterprise Security & Compliance for Translation Teams
Secure by Design, Built for Enterprise Teams
Managing translations across teams, vendors, and global markets means sensitive content flows through many hands. Better i18n is built from the ground up with enterprise security standards, giving you confidence that your data, your keys, and your workflows are protected at every layer.
Four Flexible Authentication Methods
Not every team authenticates the same way. Better i18n supports four distinct methods so you can match your organization's security policies:
Email & Password with Verification
Traditional credentials backed by mandatory email verification. Every account is confirmed before access is granted, preventing unauthorized sign-ups and ensuring accountability across your team.
OAuth with Google & GitHub
Single sign-on through Google and GitHub lets your team authenticate with existing corporate identities. Fewer passwords to manage means fewer attack vectors and a smoother onboarding experience for developers and translators alike.
Email One-Time Codes (OTP)
Passwordless authentication via one-time codes sent directly to email. OTP eliminates the risk of weak or reused passwords entirely, providing a frictionless yet secure login flow ideal for occasional contributors and external collaborators.
WebAuthn Passkeys
The most advanced authentication option available. Passkeys use public-key cryptography tied to your device — no shared secrets ever leave your hardware. Phishing-resistant by design, passkeys represent the gold standard in modern authentication security.
Organization & Team Management
Enterprise localization demands structured access control. Better i18n provides a complete organizational layer:
- Multiple Organizations — Manage separate projects, clients, or business units under distinct organizations, each with its own billing and member roster.
- Role-Based Access Control — Three clear roles — Owner, Admin, and Member — ensure the right people have the right permissions. Owners control billing and organization settings, admins manage projects and members, and members focus on translation work.
- Email Invitations — Invite team members via email with a dedicated invite acceptance page. Onboarding new translators or developers takes seconds, not days.
API Key Security
Programmatic access is essential for CI/CD pipelines and automation. Better i18n API keys are designed with defense in depth:
- Organization-Level Scoping — Keys are scoped to specific organizations, preventing cross-tenant data access.
- Hashed Storage — API keys are hashed before storage. Even in the unlikely event of a database breach, raw keys cannot be recovered.
- Instant Revocation — Compromised keys can be revoked immediately, cutting off access without disrupting other integrations.
Infrastructure You Can Trust
Better i18n runs on a modern, security-hardened infrastructure stack:
- Cloudflare Workers — Edge computing with built-in DDoS protection, automatic TLS, and a global network that keeps your data close to your users while maintaining strict isolation between tenants.
- PlanetScale — A MySQL-compatible database platform with automatic encryption at rest, granular access controls, and built-in audit logging.
- Cloudflare R2 — Object storage with encryption at rest and in transit, zero egress fees, and data residency controls for compliance-sensitive deployments.
Compliance & Certifications
Enterprise customers require documented compliance. Better i18n is aligned with major security and privacy frameworks:
- SOC 2 Type II — Independent verification of our security controls, availability, and confidentiality practices. Your auditors get the documentation they need.
- ISO 27001 — Our information security management system follows the international standard for systematic risk management.
- GDPR — Full compliance with EU data protection regulations, including data minimization, right to erasure, and transparent data processing agreements.
Data Encryption & Protection
Security is not a feature — it is the foundation:
- Encryption in Transit — All data transmitted between your systems and Better i18n is protected with TLS 1.3.
- Encryption at Rest — Stored data is encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies.
- Cookie-Based Sessions — Authentication sessions use secure, HttpOnly, SameSite cookies managed by Better Auth, preventing XSS and CSRF attacks at the session layer.
Why Security Matters for Localization
Translation content often includes unreleased product copy, legal documents, marketing campaigns, and sensitive internal communications. A breach in your localization pipeline can expose product roadmaps, violate NDAs, or compromise customer-facing content before launch.
Better i18n treats every translation string as sensitive data — because for your business, it is.
