KVKK: compliance checklist for a LMS & e-learning platform
Before launch in Türkiye, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under KVKK.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Türkiye customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Türkiye.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a LMS & e-learning platform in Türkiye
For clients in Türkiye we usually host on Local Turkish data centres or nearby EU regions, subject to data-transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, KVKK requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your LMS & e-learning platform for Türkiye
