KVKK Compliance

KVKK compliance is not just about preparing documents. It is about building a system that manages how personal data is collected, processed, stored, shared, and destroyed within the organization. Pier Compliance makes KVKK compliance auditable, from data inventory to VERBIS processes, from retention-destruction policies to supplier management under Law No. 6698.
