A technical measures framework for KVKK
A technical measures exercise makes personal data assets, the processing environment, roles and access, transfers, retention and deletion visible. This guide is not legal advice; technical findings provide input to decisions by the data controller and the legal/compliance team.
Access, logging and data protection controls
Least privilege, MFA, privileged account control, access reviews, time synchronization, event logs, encryption, patching, malware protection, backup and secure deletion are mapped to each asset. A control's existence is shown by configuration and test evidence, not by policy text.
Breach scenario preparation and response
The technical runbook covers detection, the timeline, affected assets/data, log and evidence preservation, containment recommendations, escalation to the authorized person and return-to-normal steps. Breach classification and the notification decision are made in the authorized legal/compliance process.
An audit checklist that measures compliance
The short checklist below is a practical field reference for KVKK technical measures projects:
| Control Area | Expected Output |
|---|---|
| Asset | Data, system, owner and processing purpose |
| Control | Access, logging, protection, backup and deletion |
| Evidence | Configuration, records and test results |
| Governance | Owner, open risk and legal/compliance decision |
