Data location & KVKK / F2Cloud

Local hosting in Turkey: from location to operations

Knowing where data sits is not enough. Who accesses it, how is it protected and how does it recover? Design your hosting decision around all three.

Local requirements, integrated architecture

Users in Turkey, data-location expectations and local operational requirements influence hosting choices. An F2Cloud assessment considers applications, connectivity, security, backup and recovery together. Primary data, backup and log locations and access arrangements are clarified in proposals and contracts; no assumption is made that every data flow automatically stays in Turkey.

WebShield for web and API workloads

For public customer portals, SaaS and APIs, WebShield considers DDoS mitigation, WAF, firewalls and load balancing together. Discovery maps application dependencies and user access paths. Backup and Recovery layers can be added for relevant workloads. Capacity, version support and responsibilities are defined for your workload.

Visible data flows for KVKK assessment

Local hosting can support a technical data-location decision; it does not establish KVKK compliance on its own. Review every flow, including CDN, analytics, email and remote support. Define technical scope clearly enough for legal and information security teams to assess. Include processing roles and deletion and retention procedures in the discussion.

Clarify the scope before migration

Start with an inventory of applications and data, then map dependencies, migration windows and rollback. Discovery produces more than a resource list: it defines managed-service scope, an ownership matrix and a monthly proposal. Actual location and access commitments are documented within that scope.

Pre-decision checklist

  • Which data requires a Turkey location?
  • Which external services does the application use?
  • What backup and recovery scope do you need?
