Response target: Dedicated SLA

Annual prices show the monthly equivalent of an upfront annual subscription. Response targets describe the service response, not a guaranteed resolution time or an extension of a legal deadline. Suitability, taxes, engagement terms, and additional work are confirmed during checkout and onboarding.

Before the appointment starts

Confirm your legal entity, processing activities, jurisdictions, contacts, and open deadlines. Agree the mandate and access arrangements, then establish the contact and reporting route for the selected service.

When additional work is needed

Tell us about expected case volumes and any implementation, urgent incident, or specialist project. Work beyond the selected plan is agreed separately; the subscription does not provide unlimited professional time.

Practical KVKK compliance support

The KVKK Compliance Adviser service is for organisations that need an ongoing KVKK Compliance Program and Turkish privacy guidance beyond a one-off project.

We help teams maintain documentation, coordinate Employee Privacy Training, interpret Board decisions, and respond proportionately to authority expectations.

Adviser vs representative

A representative is your local KVKK contact for formal obligations. An adviser helps you build and run the compliance programme behind it. Many organisations need one or both.

Applicable legal framework

KVKK

  • KVKK Law No. 6698
    The core Turkish statute governing personal data processing.
  • Board decisions and guidance
    The Personal Data Protection Authority publishes decisions that materially affect compliance programmes.
  • VERBİS obligations
    VERBİS Registration & Management and inventory duties may apply depending on controller profile and processing.

How the service works

Our KVKK adviser service works in four stages:

1

Scope assessment

We review your Turkish processing and current documentation.

2

Programme design

We define the adviser mandate and reporting structure.

3

Ongoing guidance

We support Privacy Notices & Consent Mechanisms, Cross-Border Data Transfer Compliance, and operational privacy decisions.

4

Authority response support

We help with enquiries and compliance responses, including Data Breach Response coordination.

How we help

See how this service fits your organisation

Use the sections below to understand what we review, what you receive, what your team provides, and how you can keep the result useful after delivery.

01 · Fit

Is a KVKK Compliance Adviser right for your organisation?

Choose this product when you need ongoing Turkish privacy support beyond a local contact or a single registry task. It helps a foreign group or domestic company maintain documentation, interpret operational questions, coordinate VERBİS work, and prepare for authority or customer scrutiny.

A KVKK adviser is useful when the organisation has a concrete Turkish privacy decision but lacks the local capacity to connect it to product, HR, vendor, customer, or registry realities. The work might be a notice redesign, a high-risk processing review, a controller-processor question, or a focused response to an enterprise customer.

02 · Decision

What you will be able to decide

Choose whether you need a representative, a focused project, or continuing advisory capacity. An adviser is most useful when your organisation has recurring processing changes, several teams asking questions, or a Turkish programme that needs local interpretation instead of another global template.

We start from the decision your organisation needs to make and identify which KVKK facts will change it. That may lead to a scoped recommendation, a document, a workflow correction, or a larger programme. The adviser supports the decision with professional analysis, but the controller keeps responsibility for its purposes, means, resources, and implementation.

03 · Trigger

When to bring us in

Typical triggers include new products, Turkish vendor changes, a registry update, a data incident, a transfer review, a notice or consent redesign, staff turnover, or a customer asking for evidence. The need may also be visible when documents exist but no one has time to keep them aligned with operations.

04 · Evidence

What we need from your team

The adviser works from the controller inventory, VERBİS records, notices, consent and transfer materials, vendor and security information, rights and incident records, training evidence, and Board correspondence. Good advice makes assumptions explicit and points to the owner who can confirm missing facts.

The evidence set should include the relevant Turkish process, systems, people, data categories, purposes, recipients, transfers, notices, consent or rights route, contracts, security controls, incident history, and prior decisions. We identify where IT, HR, security, procurement, or customer owners must confirm what really happens before a recommendation is finalised.

05 · People

Who should join the work

Your Turkish privacy owner works with legal, operations, product, security, procurement, HR, and customer teams as the subject requires. Leadership receives a short view of material risk and overdue decisions rather than a long stream of unprioritised legal updates.

06 · Method

How we will work together

We set priorities, establish a response route, review the evidence, provide advice and documentation support, and track actions to closure. A defined monthly or quarterly rhythm makes the service predictable while leaving room for urgent matters within the agreed package.

A practical advisory output can be a Turkish action register, notice or consent recommendation, vendor position, risk note, role map, or management briefing. We connect each recommendation to the owner and source evidence so the work can enter an existing ticket, release, contract, or governance routine instead of staying as an isolated memo.

07 · Output

What you will receive

Outputs can include updated privacy documentation, registry guidance, advice records, risk and transfer reviews, response support, training input, and management summaries. The exact mix follows your needs and the capacity you choose, not an artificial list of documents.

08 · Friction

What can make this harder

Advisory work fails when it becomes approval for every operational change or when the adviser is not given access to the teams that understand systems and data. It also fails when a completed document is treated as a completed control without a responsible owner and review trigger.

09 · Maintenance

How you keep it current

Use a change log, action register, review calendar, and named Turkish owners. Reassess the scope when the company changes markets, systems, vendors, processing, or authority relationships. The aim is a maintainable programme that survives product and staff changes.

Record the event that would change the advice: a new purpose, vendor, transfer, notice, product feature, incident, employee process, or VERBİS entry. A short implementation check can confirm whether the business adopted the recommendation and whether the underlying Turkish facts still match the original analysis.

10 · Boundaries

What stays with your organisation

The adviser does not transfer controller accountability, operate technical security, provide litigation representation, or replace specialist work outside the agreed privacy scope. Where another professional is needed, the service should identify that boundary early.

11 · Scope

What to prepare before you start

Prepare the current Turkish inventory, VERBİS status, priority products, open actions, notices, incident or customer deadlines, and preferred working rhythm. Decide whether representation, registry management, or adviser capacity should be included separately or together.

  • Named KVKK decision and business deadline
  • Turkish process and system evidence
  • Owners for IT, HR, security, procurement, or customer input
  • Output that fits an existing operating workflow
  • Reopen trigger for the advisory recommendation

12 · Buyer brief

What your first working brief should contain

Frame a KVKK advisory request around one decision that matters to the business: a notice, transfer, vendor, high-risk processing, controller role, customer response, incident, HR activity, or registry question. Supply the Turkish process description and the people who can confirm what happens in the systems. List any deadline and the action that would follow the advice. This gives the adviser enough context to be precise without turning a focused request into a promise to review every part of the organisation.

Put the recommendation into an existing Turkish workflow. A notice issue can go to a release or content owner; a vendor question to procurement and security; a registry question to the authorised controller; and a training gap to the manager who owns the audience. Record the source, decision, implementation status, and reopen trigger. The adviser supports the reasoning, but the controller retains responsibility for lawful choices, resources, and the way KVKK requirements are implemented.

13 · First test

What we will test first

The first advisory review tests the Turkish decision and the facts that can change it. Depending on scope, that may be a notice, consent route, high-risk activity, vendor, transfer, customer answer, incident, role, HR process, or VERBİS question. We identify the owner who can implement the recommendation and the specialist who must verify technical, employment, or contractual details. The output should enter an existing Turkish workflow with a clear completion signal. Record what was accepted, what remains open, and what change would reopen the advice. That makes the adviser useful for a defined business question without implying that a single recommendation covers every KVKK activity.

14 · Working record

How the result stays usable

A useful result has a home after delivery. Keep the source evidence, decision, owner, scope, open actions, and next review together in a register, project record, contract file, or management routine that your team already uses. The format can be short; it just needs to make the next action and the reason for reopening the question visible. That is how professional input stays connected to the business instead of becoming a document that no one can find when the facts change.

15 · Progress

How you can judge progress

Judge progress by what your team can use and explain. Look for a supported decision, an owner who understands the action, a route that works in practice, and evidence that the agreed output reached the right system, notice, contract, ticket, or meeting. A large document or a high-level score is not enough on its own. The stronger signal is fewer repeated questions, clearer escalation, and a review date that responds to actual change.

16 · Proportion

What a proportionate scope looks like

A proportionate scope should leave you with enough detail to act and enough clarity to know what remains outside the work. We will ask for the facts that can change the answer, explain material uncertainty, and keep specialist dependencies visible. You should be able to tell a manager what was reviewed, an operating owner what to do next, and a future reviewer what event would reopen the question. That balance protects your budget and makes the result more likely to stay useful after delivery.

17 · Handoff

What remains with your organisation

Your organisation remains responsible for the processing, resources, implementation, and final business decision. We can review the supplied facts, provide professional direction, prepare agreed outputs, and make open issues easier to act on. Bring in security, technical, employment, communications, or specialist legal expertise when the question needs it. Before you buy, name the decision, evidence, owner, deadline, and boundary so the selected scope is proportionate and easy to judge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about KVKK compliance adviser services.

Is a KVKK adviser the same as a DPO?

Turkish law uses its own concepts. The adviser role focuses on practical compliance support rather than a GDPR-style DPO appointment.

Can we combine adviser and representative services?

Yes. Many foreign controllers use both products together.

Does GDPR compliance satisfy KVKK?

Not fully. KVKK has local requirements that still need Turkish-specific attention.
