KVKK compliance

KVKK technical measures, handled by your identity layer.

Law No. 6698 expects controllers to prevent unlawful access to personal data. Monofor turns that expectation into enforced controls: MFA on every login, least-privilege access, recorded admin sessions, and evidence your auditors can export.

What KVKK expects from access management

KVKK (Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data) obliges data controllers to take the technical and organizational measures needed to prevent unlawful processing of and access to personal data, and to preserve it. The Personal Data Protection Board’s published guidance on technical measures repeatedly lands on identity: user authorization and authentication, access logs, privileged account discipline, and the ability to prove who touched which system when.

In practice this means the systems that hold personal data — HR software, CRMs, databases, file servers — need centrally managed identities, strong authentication, time-bound admin access, and tamper-evident audit trails. That is an identity platform’s job, and it is exactly the layer Monofor provides.

Requirement → Monofor

Requirement to control, mapped.

The recurring identity-related measures from KVKK guidance, and the Monofor capability that enforces each one.

Requirement
User authorization & authentication

Access to systems holding personal data must be authenticated and role-appropriate.

How Monofor helps

Monosign centralizes SSO across 7,000+ apps with MFA on every login — from TOTP to phishing-resistant passkeys — and adaptive step-up when risk signals change.

Monosign
Requirement
Least privilege & authorization control

Users should hold only the access their role requires; authorization matrices must stay current.

How Monofor helps

Lifecycle workflows grant and revoke access by role, joiner-mover-leaver automation removes stale access the day someone changes jobs, and access reviews keep the matrix provably current.

Monosync
Requirement
Privileged account discipline

Admin access to personal-data systems is the highest-risk path and needs its own controls.

How Monofor helps

Monopam vaults privileged credentials, brokers admin sessions in the browser, records them as video plus keystroke transcript, and limits elevation to approved, time-bound windows.

Monopam
Requirement
Access logging & traceability

Who accessed which system, when, and what changed must be answerable — with logs that hold up.

How Monofor helps

Every authentication, elevation, and entitlement change is logged tamper-evident across the platform, exportable to your SIEM, with pre-built KVKK report templates for audits.

Monosync Governance
Requirement
Data residency & sovereignty

Many Turkish organizations prefer or require identity data to stay on infrastructure they control.

How Monofor helps

Monofor deploys fully self-hosted — in your datacenter or your cloud tenant in Türkiye — at the same price as SaaS. Your identity data never has to leave your infrastructure.

FAQ

Common questions

Does using Monofor make us KVKK compliant?
No single product makes an organization compliant — KVKK covers legal, organizational, and technical measures together. Monofor implements the identity-related technical measures (authentication, authorization, privileged access, logging) and produces the evidence, which typically covers a substantial part of a technical-measures audit.
Can we run Monofor entirely inside Türkiye?
Yes. Self-hosted deployment runs on your own infrastructure — datacenter or local cloud — so identity data, logs, and session recordings stay where you decide. Turkish banks and public institutions use exactly this model.
What evidence can we hand to auditors?
Pre-built KVKK report templates, access-review attestations, privileged session recordings with keystroke transcripts, and tamper-evident logs of every authentication and entitlement change — all exportable.
How does this relate to BDDK expectations for banks?
BDDK regulations on bank information systems point in the same direction with stricter teeth: strong authentication, privileged access management, and comprehensive audit trails. The same Monofor controls apply; Türkiye’s oldest bank runs its identity layer on Monofor.
