GDPR Internal Audit Service
🔍 Assess Your GDPR Compliance with an Independent Perspective
The Law on the Protection of Personal Data No. 6698 requires organizations to audit their personal data processing activities on an annual basis. As GOVISEC, we evaluate—from an independent and expert perspective—whether the structure you believe to be compliant with regulations is truly sustainable and sufficient in practice.
📌 Why Is a GDPR Internal Audit Necessary?
- Article 12 of the Law requires organizations to conduct or commission an audit on an annual basis
- Even organizations that believe they are compliant can better identify their risks through an evaluation conducted by an independent, external perspective
- Audit findings provide guidance not only from a legal standpoint but also in terms of operational improvement
