Why is GDPR / KVKK compliance advisory necessary?

GDPR compliance is mandatory for all organizations processing personal data of EU residents, regardless of where they operate. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million. For businesses operating in Turkey, the KVKK (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) imposes similar obligations.

GDPR / KVKK ile GDPR arasındaki fark nedir?

KVKK is Turkey's domestic data protection law, while GDPR is the EU regulation. Turkish companies processing data of EU residents must comply with both simultaneously.

GDPR & KVKK Compliance

We guide clients through every stage of compliance: conducting data processing inventories, drafting privacy notices and cookie policies, reviewing consent mechanisms, advising on lawful bases for processing, and preparing for regulatory audits. For cross-border data flows, we advise on Standard Contractual Clauses and adequacy decisions.

Data Breach Response

A data breach demands immediate, legally precise action. We advise on notification obligations to data protection authorities (72-hour rule under GDPR), communication to data subjects, liability exposure assessment and regulatory investigation management.

Data Subject Rights

We help organizations build processes for handling data subject requests — access, erasure, rectification, portability and objection — within legal timeframes and with appropriate documentation.

We embed privacy compliance into business processes, product development and vendor contracts. Our DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) services identify and mitigate privacy risks before products are launched.
