Background

At Maven we provide turnkey specialized language solutions with specific focus on NGOs, NPOs, UN agencies, and governments.

Our work has taken us across industries, borders, and document types — supporting international organizations and UN agencies, NGO networks and humanitarian organizations, government bodies and embassies, and corporate clients and global brands.

Countries where our clients are headquartered

Most of our clients were international institutions working across borders: UN agencies, NGOs, governments, and international sports federations. For nearly a decade we delivered language solutions in more than 20 countries across 4 continents — all while running from our Malaysian office.

We managed projects in international hubs including Washington DC, Berlin, and Singapore. Following this success we have ventured into Gulf, European, and US markets.

Our strengths

Decade-long experience

Supporting institutional organizations with complex, mission-critical language needs.

Service delivery across borders

Operations spanning multiple countries and regions with local expertise on the ground.

Support for field operations

Language support in remote, restricted, and crisis-affected environments.

Strict confidentiality protocols

Institutional-grade security and data protection standards.

Across borders, with local expertise

Our geographical presence followed our growth. Having successfully delivered services across borders for years, we expanded our formal presence to better support our clients wherever they operate.

Operations in Malaysia, the UAE, Ireland, and the USA mean we are closer to our clients and physically present on the ground. We also meet the local procurement and operational requirements these clients need.

At the same time we keep project management and quality control centralized, to ensure consistency across all our offices.

Support for field operations

We partner with a wide range of NGOs and nonprofit organizations, including those dedicated to development and migration. They require experience managing logistics, navigating security considerations, and delivering reliable support in high-pressure environments.

We provide language solutions in restricted areas such as shelters, courts, and police stations, and in crisis-hit regions affected by earthquakes, conflicts, pandemics, and displacement.

Confidentiality and institutional-grade security

Language services for governments, the UN system, and sensitive operations require security and confidentiality standards that match the stakes.

  • Data encryption and secure file transfer
  • Vendor vetting and NDAs — every translator on sensitive projects signs confidentiality agreements and undergoes background verification
  • Audit trails and version control
  • Aligned with recognised international standards: our translation workflows follow ISO 17100, the platforms we use for client document exchange and project delivery are ISO 27001 certified for information security, and we handle personal data in line with GDPR and sector-specific requirements across medical, legal, and government work
