Compare LGPD with Turkey KVKK

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what LGPD overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is LGPD and who does it apply to?

LGPD is a compliance framework from Brazil with 7 domains and 40 controls. Brazil's General Data Protection Law (Lei 13.709/2018) as in force today, read from the compiled official text with the 2026 law that made the ANPD a regulatory agency, together with the ANPD regulations that turn it into operational duties: three-business-day incident communication and a five-year incident register, the encarregado's appointment, publication and conflicts, the international transfer rules and mandatory standard contractual clauses, the EU adequacy decision of January 2026, the small-agent regime and the fine dosimetry. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does LGPD actually require?

LGPD has 40 controls organised across 7 domains. The largest domains are Chapter II: Processing of personal data – LGPD (9 controls), Chapter V: International transfer (and Resolution CD/ANPD 19/2024) – LGPD (8 controls), Chapter VI: Processing agents and the encarregado (and Resolution CD/ANPD 18/2024) – LGPD (8 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of LGPD do I already cover?

LGPD maps to 114 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are Turkey KVKK (10% coverage), Privacy Act 1988 (Australia) (10% coverage), Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (UAE PDPL) (10% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
