SERVICE SCOPE

What this service addresses

The critical topics this service addresses and the outcome we deliver in each.

Multi-regulation map in one framework

contract-scoped

We separate KVKK, GDPR and CCPA requirements into shared and distinct controls and unify them in a single control set, reducing duplicated effort.

Audit-ready evidence file

evidence readiness

We file policies, procedures and records in a format that can be presented during a regulatory audit, providing evidence prepared for an independent auditor's assessment.

Measurable compliance maturity

measured target

With a baseline measurement, a target maturity score and a review cadence, we tie progress to a trackable target.

Registry and notification ownership

published after approval

We own and evidence registry and regulatory-notification steps; the final filing and legal sign-off are left to your organisation and legal counsel.

Delivery model

Delivery approach

How we phase the service across delivery, governance, and connected service pillars.

  1. We begin with a current-state assessment, mapping where each data set is processed and surfacing compliance gaps per regulation.

  2. We identify shared control points to design a single control set for KVKK and GDPR, adding distinct requirements as an extra layer.

  3. With continuous monitoring we track regulatory change and sustain the programme as a living structure rather than a one-off project.

What It Solves

Organizations operating under KVKK, GDPR, and multiple overlapping sector regulations face compliance fatigue when each framework is managed in isolation — separate audits, duplicated controls, conflicting documentation, and fragmented accountability structures create both compliance gaps and unnecessary operational overhead. Integrated Compliance Management unifies these obligations under a single control framework, eliminating redundancy while ensuring every regulation is fully addressed. Our approach transforms compliance from a recurring cost center into a structured governance capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a formal DPO appointment legally required under KVKK?

KVKK does not mandate DPO appointment for most organizations, unlike GDPR Article 37. However, appointing a qualified DPO — whether internal or as a service — significantly reduces regulatory risk and demonstrates accountability to the KVKK Board (KVKK Kurulu). For organizations subject to both KVKK and GDPR (processing EU residents' data), a DPO is legally required under GDPR and strongly recommended for KVKK governance.

What is the penalty exposure for KVKK non-compliance?

KVKK administrative fines range from TRY 66,071 to TRY 1,983,499 per violation category (2024 updated amounts) with criminal liability for certain breaches. GDPR fines reach €20 million or the applicable percentage of global annual turnover. The most common penalty triggers are inadequate breach notification, missing processing records (ROPA), and unlawful international data transfers — all areas our integrated compliance program directly addresses.

How does integrated compliance handle international data transfers post-Schrems II?

We conduct a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) for each data transfer to third countries, implement appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or adequacy decisions), and supplement SCCs with supplementary technical measures (encryption, pseudonymization) where required. KVKK Chapter 9 explicit consent and adequate country list requirements are mapped alongside GDPR Chapter 5 mechanisms.

Can you integrate compliance management with our existing IT service management tools?

Yes. We integrate compliance workflows into ServiceNow, Jira, or Microsoft 365 environments depending on your platform. DSR requests, DPIA triggers, and vendor review workflows can be embedded into existing IT and procurement processes, ensuring compliance activities are captured automatically rather than as separate manual processes.

What happens when the KVKK law or GDPR is amended — are our compliance documents automatically updated?

Our regulatory monitoring service tracks all KVKK Board decisions, EDPB guidelines, and national implementation changes. When material amendments occur, we provide a regulatory change briefing within the agreed response window, assess the impact on your compliance program, and issue updated documentation within the agreed SLA. Your compliance posture stays current without requiring you to monitor regulatory channels independently.

How do you measure compliance program effectiveness beyond documentation completeness?

We use a four-dimension effectiveness model: regulatory coverage completeness, control implementation rate, staff awareness scores, and incident/complaint metrics. These are reported in a quarterly compliance dashboard with trend analysis. Unlike a one-time audit score, the dashboard shows whether compliance is improving, stable, or degrading over time — enabling proactive intervention before regulatory exposure occurs.
