# KVKK / GDPR / BDDK compliance — Use case > An API and AI platform built where audit, encryption, and access control are non-negotiable. Evidence packets for KVKK, GDPR, BDDK, PSD2, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 — generated, not assembled. *Executives · Compliance · For executives* ## Compliance as a saved query. Not a six-week project. Audit at the framework boundary, encryption at the persistence layer, three-tier access at the runtime — the regulator's checklist already lives inside the platform.

Most platforms treat audit, encryption, and access as opt-in middleware. Compliance teams discover the gap in October, with November to fix it. Apinizer treats those controls as constitutional: they're enforced at the framework boundary, not by convention. The evidence packet auditors ask for ships out of the platform as a query, not a project. --- ## Capabilities ### Audit at the persistence layer Every change — config, secret, grant, deploy, view — captured immutably. Bypass is rejected at the framework, not by code review. ### Encrypted secret fields Tokens, keys, and credentials encrypted before persistence; decrypted only at runtime. They never appear in lists, exports, or backups. ### Pseudonymization, not only redaction Article 4(5) asks for data that can be re-attributed under controlled conditions — not data destroyed on the way past. Masked identifiers are replaced with a stable placeholder that authorized roles can restore inside the response or read back through a separate unmask API. The restore is deny-by-default, and both the decision and its scope land in the audit record. Synthetic replacements are generated independently rather than derived from the original, which is what HIPAA and GDPR require of a non-derived value. ### Retention profiles for AI traffic Data minimization becomes a setting instead of a project. Three profiles decide how much of an AI exchange is ever written down — the full record, counters and decisions without the bodies, or nothing persisted at all. Set the installation default, override it per API proxy, and the stricter of the two wins. ### Three-tier access Platform, Project, Environment scopes federated to your AD / LDAP / OIDC. Segregation of duties enforced by the runtime, not by memo. ### Article 30 / record-of-processing Personal-data flows joined to consent, retention, and access logs. GDPR Article 30 / KVKK envanteri queries return in seconds. ### Sector-aligned controls BDDK, PSD2, SAMA, ACPR, AYM — every regulator's emphasis maps to a control already in the platform. We share the mapping packet. ### Continuous evidence Quarterly evidence packs generated automatically. Auditor requests close the same business day instead of the same quarter. --- ## Real-world examples ### Banking **Scenario:** Istanbul Tier-1 bank passes BDDK quarterly audit with a saved query **Outcome:** What used to be a three-week reconciliation project becomes a query and an export. Auditors stop asking, 'who has access to X'. **Metric:** 3 weeks → 1 day ### Insurance **Scenario:** Frankfurt insurer answers a GDPR Article 30 request in one afternoon **Outcome:** Article 30 record of processing joins personal-data flows to consent, retention, and access logs. The DPO ships a packet by 17:00. ### Banking **Scenario:** Riyadh bank meets SAMA Cyber Security Framework controls 4.2 + 4.3 **Outcome:** Audit, encryption, and segregation-of-duties mapped to SAMA paragraphs in the evidence packet. The regulator's review closes early. ### Healthcare **Scenario:** Lyon hospital network ships HDS (Hébergement de Données de Santé) evidence **Outcome:** Every PHI access logged; every retention window enforced. The HDS auditor signs off after one visit instead of three. ### Government **Scenario:** Rome ministry maps AgID-CAD controls to platform telemetry **Outcome:** CAD (Codice dell'Amministrazione Digitale) controls map one-to-one to platform features. Audit posture documented in one page. ### Telecom **Scenario:** Madrid carrier satisfies ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad) high-level requirements **Outcome:** Audit retention, segregation of duties, and encryption-at-rest mapped. The ENS audit closes with no findings. ### Energy **Scenario:** Prague utility maps NIS2 essential-entity controls **Outcome:** Incident reporting, supply-chain audit, and access controls — all already covered by Apinizer's existing model. ### Banking **Scenario:** Caspian-region bank meets AYM standards with the same controls used for KVKK **Outcome:** Local AYM controls overlap heavily with KVKK. One platform, two regulators, one evidence pack. --- ## Recommended modules - [API Gateway](https://apinizer.com/products/api-gateway) — Audit, encryption, and three-tier access enforced at the framework boundary — not by convention. - [Identity Manager](https://apinizer.com/products/identity-manager) — Federate to your sovereign identity store; never carry a vendor user database. - [Analytics Engine](https://apinizer.com/products/analytics-engine) — Compliance evidence as queries — Article 30, segregation-of-duties, retention reports. - [AI Gateway](https://apinizer.com/products/ai-gateway) — Same audit and compliance model for the AI plane — LLM, MCP, agent traffic. --- ## Resources - [Compliance overview](https://docs.apinizer.com/en) — How Apinizer maps to KVKK, GDPR, BDDK, PSD2, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 controls. - [Banking lane](https://apinizer.com/solutions/banking) — BDDK + PSD2 + PCI-DSS as a single posture. - [Government lane](https://apinizer.com/solutions/government) — Sovereign hosting, audit, and access for ministries and agencies. - [Three-tier permissions](https://apinizer.com/solutions/three-tier-permissions) — Segregation of duties enforced by the runtime. - [Customers](https://apinizer.com/company/customers) — Regulated customers running Apinizer in production. - [Architecture overview](https://docs.apinizer.com/en/concepts/architecture) — Where audit, encryption, and identity sit in the topology. --- ## Related use cases - [Legacy modernization](https://apinizer.com/solutions/legacy-modernization) — For executives - [Three-tier permissions](https://apinizer.com/solutions/three-tier-permissions) — For platform teams - [Observability & audit](https://apinizer.com/solutions/observability-audit) — For platform teams - [Prompt firewalls](https://apinizer.com/solutions/prompt-firewalls) — For AI teams --- ## Next step *Compliance built in* **Pass the audit without a project.** A 30-minute walkthrough — audit, encryption, three-tier access, and the evidence query — on a Kubernetes of your choice.
