Common Mistakes Companies Make in GDPR and KVKK Compliance
Data protection is no longer optional in today’s business world. Yet many companies repeat the same mistakes in GDPR and KVKK compliance, exposing themselves to fines and loss of customer trust.
Incomplete Data Inventory
Many organizations do not fully know what data they collect, process, and store. Without a clear data inventory, compliance efforts fail. A comprehensive inventory allows businesses to identify risks and take proactive measures.
Lack of Consent and Transparency
Obtaining explicit consent and providing clear privacy notices are legal requirements. Missing or vague consent exposes businesses to severe penalties. Transparent, updated policies also strengthen customer confidence.
Insufficient Technical and Administrative Measures
Compliance is not just about legal documentation. Firewalls, encryption, access controls, and staff training are essential. Neglecting these measures increases the risk of data breaches.
Failure to Keep Processes Updated
GDPR and KVKK compliance is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. As technology evolves and regulations change, policies must be regularly reviewed. Otherwise, businesses risk becoming non-compliant without realizing it.
Conclusion
GDPR and KVKK compliance is not only about avoiding penalties but also about building customer trust. At BT Konsept, we assess your data protection practices and help ensure full compliance with both legal and technical requirements.
