An organization’s Information Technology (IT) environment plays a critical role in ensuring the continuity of business processes, safeguarding data security, maintaining regulatory compliance, and supporting strategic objectives. Effective management of this environment requires a robust governance approach, accurate risk assessment, and the implementation of appropriate control mechanisms.

Grant Thornton Türkiye provides audit, risk assessment, and assurance services in the field of information technology within the framework of legal regulations, sector-specific requirements, and international standards. Our work is based on the regulatory provisions issued by authorities such as BDDK, SPK, TCMB, BTK, and GİB, as well as globally recognized frameworks including COBIT, ISO/IEC 27001, ITIL, DORA, SOC 1/2, and ISAE 3402.

The scope of our services includes regulatory compliance audits, assessments against international standards, analysis of sector-specific IT controls, reviews of information systems in line with financial regulatory requirements, and the preparation of independent assurance reports. In these processes, we identify organizations’ existing control environments, maturity levels, and areas for improvement, and where necessary, develop roadmaps to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and standards.

In addition, we conduct examinations and evaluations in areas such as cybersecurity, identity and access management, business continuity planning, disaster recovery strategies, supplier risk assessments, and information security awareness. All activities are carried out within the framework of a risk-based approach, contributing to the reliability, compliance, and sustainability of organizations’ IT management processes.
