Want to confidently meet compliance standards in translation?

Whether you're in K-12 education or healthcare, regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. Pairaphrase helps you meet HIPAA and FERPA requirements when translating sensitive content, with a secure platform built for education and healthcare translation.

Unlike generic translation platforms, Pairaphrase is HIPAA-compliant translation software designed with enterprise security and privacy in mind. That means your student records, medical documents, and internal communications stay protected throughout the translation process.

The hidden risks of free translation tools

When you paste PHI or student PII into free tools like Google Translate, your data may be stored or processed in ways that violate HIPAA or FERPA. Avoid this risk with Pairaphrase’s HIPAA-compliant, FERPA-compliant translation software.

What is HIPAA and how does it relate to translation?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a U.S. law that protects the privacy and security of individuals' medical information. When translating documents that contain protected health information (PHI), organizations must ensure that the translation process meets HIPAA privacy and security standards. 

What is FERPA and how does it relate to translation?

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. If your organization is translating documents that include student information, FERPA requires that this data is handled securely and only shared with authorized individuals. 

Is Pairaphrase HIPAA compliant?

Pairaphrase supports secure translation workflows for organizations handling protected health information (PHI). Features such as SSL encryption, multi-factor authentication, strict permissions, audit logging, and a closed environment support HIPAA requirements. An organization’s actual compliance status depends on how the platform is configured and used within its broader HIPAA program. 

Does Pairaphrase support FERPA-compliant translation workflows?

Pairaphrase helps FERPA-sensitive translation workflows by giving educational institutions a secure platform to translate education records under institutional direction and appropriate agreements. Because FERPA applies to schools and agencies, compliance depends on how each institution manages authorization, access, retention, and data protection. Pairaphrase helps support those controls with encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), granular permissions, audit trails, and private Translation Memories for each organization. Pairaphrase is also willing to sign agreements with educational institutions. 

Can I use Google Translate or free tools for HIPAA- or FERPA-protected documents?

No. Using public or free translation tools for PHI or student data can violate HIPAA and FERPA because these tools may store, share, or process your data in uncontrolled environments. 

How does Pairaphrase protect sensitive health and education data?

Pairaphrase uses SSL encryption, multi-factor authentication, and strict access controls to protect your data. It also provides automatic data deletion and maintains organization-specific Translation Memories that are never shared outside your team. 

Does Pairaphrase store my data?

Only human-reviewed translations are stored in your organization’s secure Translation Memory. Content entered into the Gisting Wizard is not saved and is deleted upon session end. You have full control to delete Translation Memories or documents at any time. 

Can multiple departments use Pairaphrase securely?

Yes. Pairaphrase offers granular user permissions so departments like Special Education, ESL, HR, or Health Services can collaborate securely without overexposing data.
