KVKK Penetration Testing
Penetration testing that shows whether the technical measures required by Article 12 of Turkey's data protection law (KVKK, Law No. 6698) actually stop unauthorized access to personal data.
Personal data reachable through broken object-level authorization in APIs.
Technical measures that exist on paper but have never been tested against an attacker.
AI assistants and RAG systems leaking personal data from connected sources.
Built For
Data controllers processing customer, patient, or employee data in Türkiye.
Teams preparing evidence of technical measures for the KVKK Board or an audit.
Product and platform teams whose web apps, APIs, or AI assistants touch personal data.
Use Cases
Test authorization on every endpoint that returns personal data (IDOR / BOLA).
Validate that access logs, masking, and encryption hold up under a real attack path.
Map findings to the technical measures listed in the KVKK Personal Data Security Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does KVKK require penetration testing?
Article 12 of Law No. 6698 obliges data controllers to take the technical and administrative measures needed to prevent unlawful access to personal data. The KVKK Personal Data Security Guide lists penetration testing among those technical measures and states that vulnerability scans and penetration tests should be performed regularly. The law does not set a fixed frequency.
What do we receive at the end?
A report where each finding has reproduction steps, evidence, the affected personal data category, remediation direction, and retest notes, so it can serve as evidence of tested technical measures.
