Overview

Information is king, but only if you can control it. As companies expand rapidly, the ability to transfer customer data, employee information, financial records, and other crucial data worldwide presents numerous opportunities. It's remarkable to establish a business in Turkey, hire employees in the Netherlands, conduct transactions in the US, and collaborate with third-party vendors globally. However, this comes with a significant responsibility: ensuring compliance in every location.
