Cybersecurity and KVKK Compliance Guide

From risk mapping to an incident response plan — an end-to-end framework for meeting KVKK and GDPR requirements with technical and procedural measures.

5 sections
Cybersecurity and KVKK Compliance Guide

Section 1 · Risk map and asset inventory

You can't protect what you don't know you have. Inventory your system, data and process assets and score their risks; direct your resources to the most critical areas.

• Map critical assets and data flows.• Prioritize threats and vulnerabilities by impact and likelihood.• Define the acceptable level of risk together with management.

Section 2 · Data inventory and classification

KVKK compliance starts with knowing which personal data is processed where, for what purpose and on what legal basis.

• Map personal data to its purpose and legal basis.• Classify data by sensitivity level.• Define retention and destruction periods.

Section 3 · Technical measures

Encryption, access control, masking and logging are the technical foundation of compliance. Without this layer, processes remain on paper.

• Apply encryption in transit and at rest.• Set up role-based access and multi-factor authentication.• Keep access and change logs centralized and immutable.

Section 4 · KVKK/GDPR processes and explicit consent

Privacy notices, explicit consent and data subject rights must be built into processes by design. Compliance bolted on afterwards is both expensive and fragile.

• Build privacy notices and consent flows into the design.• Set up the data subject request process (access, deletion).• Review your data processor agreements.

Section 5 · Incident response plan

You can't reduce the likelihood of a breach to zero, but you can speed up the response. A prepared team decisively reduces the impact of an incident.

• Define the incident detection and notification process in writing.• Be ready for legal notification obligations (72 hours).• Test and update the plan regularly with drills.
