The documents that compose the normative framework are divided into five categories:

  1. Policy (strategic level): defines the high-level rules that represent the basic principles that Korn Traduções decided to incorporate into its management according to the strategic vision of the senior management. It serves as the basis for the operational policies and procedures to be created and detailed.
  2. Operational policy: composed of this document, defines specific rules that guide and regulate responsibilities and actions at the operational level.
  3. Procedures (operational level): enable the provisions of the policy, allowing their direct application on Korn Traduções‘ activities.
  4. Manuals: instruction manuals supporting the performance of a process or use of software.
  5. Templates: templates of documents and controls under version control.

All processes and templates are available in the Process Portal, and the records are in the documents repository of Korn Traduções. Every documented information that evidences the execution of a process must have its storage under control, aiming at its prompt recovery.

Area managers must submit new documents or revisions for approval by the senior management before they are made available, according to the Documented Information process, which is part of Quality.

Printed copies of the contents of Korn Traduções‘ Process Portal are not deemed valid and are prohibited.

The documents that are part of the structure must be disclosed to all employees, interns, apprentices, and service providers of Korn Traduções upon hiring through the company’s official internal disclosure means in accordance with the Korn Traduções Communication Plan, and can be made available through the  HR management software in effect, through the Process Portal and through the repository of shared documents, so that their contents may be surveyed at any time.

Every change made to the Information Security and Privacy Policy shall be passed on to the CEO or to the Senior Management for approval. After its approval, the policy may be disclosed and employees trained.

Information Classification

The classification of every information owned by Korn Traduções or under its custody is deemed necessary, proportionally to its value to the company.

Information composing the ISMS is to be classified as:

  • Confidential – information that, if internally or externally disclosed, could potentially lead to substantial financial or reputational losses to Korn Traduções. It may be protected, for instance, by cryptography.
  • Restricted – strategic information that must be available only to restricted groups of employees. It is stored in files with restricted access in the network drive and in the different access levels in Korn Traduções’ systems and Portal.
  • Internal – information that cannot be disclosed to persons outside Korn Traduções, but, should this occur, does not lead to substantial losses. The concern at this level is mainly related to the integrity of the information.
  • Public – information that does not require specific protection against breaches, as may be of public knowledge.

Information related to Korn Traduções’ employees, financial area, and client information (registration data and documents) is always considered restricted, with access granted only to persons who have a need to know in order to perform their activities and provide the contracted service. To enable adequate control of information, the access levels described in the General Infrastructure and IT Procedures must be used.
