AI governance and compliance

AI governance is the set of rules and controls that decides which AI tools your company uses, with which data, approved by whom and with what records. Corrplus maps your AI use against GDPR, the EU AI Act and Türkiye's data protection law (KVKK), classifies the risks and builds the technical controls. Legal interpretation is settled with your legal counsel.

Timing

Inventory and risk classification take a few weeks; technical controls depend on scope

Pricing

Inventory and policy work is a fixed-scope project; technical controls and periodic reviews are quoted separately in writing.

Tools we use

Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Entra ID, Azure OpenAI, Self-hosted open-source models, Self-hosted n8n, Langfuse

Who it is for

  • Companies whose staff use AI tools on their own, with no record of what data goes where
  • Teams about to launch a chatbot, assistant or automation that touches customer data
  • Turkish exporters selling into the EU who now face GDPR and EU AI Act questions
  • EU companies with a Turkish subsidiary that must align local AI use with group policy and KVKK

When it is not a fit

  • Anyone looking for a legal opinion or a compliance certificate. Your lawyers give legal advice; we handle the technical and process side.
  • Companies that do not use AI and do not plan to soon. General data protection compliance is outside this service.

What you get

  • AI use inventoryA list of AI tools in use or planned, the data they process and where that data goes.
  • Risk classificationA first assessment of each use for personal data, cross-border transfer and EU AI Act risk categories, prepared for your legal counsel's review.
  • AI acceptable use policy draftShort, practical rules on which tool may be used with which data, written so teams can follow them.
  • Technical controlsAccess rights, masking of personal data, logging of prompts and outputs, and retention periods.
  • System documentationFor each AI system: its purpose, data sources, human oversight points and known limits.
  • Data subject request workflowA workflow that logs access and deletion requests under GDPR and KVKK and routes them to the right team.

How we work

  1. Discover

    After a free first call we interview teams and map which AI tools are used where and with which data.

  2. Design

    We classify the risks, draft the policy and the technical controls, and review everything with your legal counsel.

  3. Build

    We put access, masking and logging controls into your systems in short cycles and complete the documentation.

  4. Run

    We add new tools to the inventory, review the logs regularly and update controls as regulation changes.

What does AI governance cover?

A policy document alone is not governance. First you need to know what is actually in use: which team uses which tool, on which account, with which data. In most companies the list is longer than expected. It includes chat tools on personal accounts, browser extensions and AI features switched on inside existing software.

After the inventory we ask the same questions of every use. Is personal data processed? Does data leave the country? Does the output decide something about a person? Is anything logged? The answers decide which controls are needed. If you already keep a GDPR record of processing activities or a KVKK data inventory, this work stays consistent with it.

KVKK, GDPR and the EU AI Act: which ones apply to you?

Regulation Who it concerns Typical question in an AI project
KVKK (Law No. 6698) Any company processing personal data in Türkiye What is the legal basis, and is data transferred abroad?
GDPR Companies processing personal data of people in the EU Is there automated decision-making, and were people informed?
EU AI Act Providers placing AI systems on the EU market, or whose output is used in the EU Which risk category is the system in, and what documentation is required?

Your legal counsel decides which regulation binds you and how far. Our job is to prepare the technical facts they need to make that call, accurately and completely, and then apply the decision to your systems.

We map data flows, classify systems, build access and logging controls and write the documentation. Your legal counsel decides the legal basis, the privacy notices, the transfer mechanism and how the risk category is interpreted. That split means no decision falls through the cracks.

This service differs from AI consulting. Consulting decides what to build; governance puts rules around everything that is built or used. We pair it with corporate AI training so teams actually learn the rules. For background, see our glossary entries on KVKK and the EU AI Act.

How we start

In a free first call we talk through the AI tools you use and plan to use. We then propose in writing the scope of the inventory and how we will work alongside your legal counsel, in English or Turkish.

Key terms

Frequently asked questions

Does this service guarantee compliance?

No. Compliance decisions belong to you and your legal counsel. We make your AI use visible, classify the risks and build the technical controls, and settle every point that needs legal interpretation together with your lawyers.

Could our staff be pasting customer data into ChatGPT?

Without rules, very likely. The inventory makes it visible. We then write down which tool may be used with which data and reduce risky use with company accounts and technical controls.

Does the EU AI Act apply to a company based in Türkiye?

It can, if you place an AI system on the EU market or its output is used in the EU. We pre-classify your systems against the Act's risk categories and document them for your legal counsel to assess.

What is KVKK and how does it relate to GDPR?

KVKK is Türkiye's personal data protection law, Law No. 6698. It shares many principles with GDPR but differs in areas such as cross-border transfers and registration with the national data controller registry, VERBİS. Companies operating in both markets usually need to meet both.

What does an AI acceptable use policy look like?

A few pages of plain rules: which tools are approved, which data never goes into any tool, who checks the output and whom to ask when in doubt. It is published after your legal counsel has reviewed it.

What happens when the AI gets something wrong?

That is why human oversight points are designed in. Outputs that affect a customer or a decision have an approval step, a log entry and a way to reverse them. The policy also lists the decisions that are never left to AI.
