INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
Through our investments in digitalization and information technologies, we continuously advance our operational excellence.
In 2025, within the scope of sustainable IT operations, we renewed the technology infrastructure in our data centers and factories, doubling our processing speed. Within the same framework, and with a focus on sustainability in information and cybersecurity, we completed our NIS2 assessment, a globally recognized information security standard, along with the related improvement actions. According to the assessment results, Akçansa achieved a score above the Türkiye average.
We also completed our compliance efforts with the Communiqué on the Procedures and Principles of Information Systems Management published by the Capital Markets Board (CMB) in March. In addition, we carried out preliminary audit activities to evaluate our level of compliance, achieving sustainable improvements in Akçansa’s information security standards.
Business Continuity
Ensuring business continuity is among our priorities in order to prevent disruptions to our company’s reputation and operational processes during emergencies and extraordinary circumstances. In this context, in 2022 we renewed our OT servers, data storage, and network systems, establishing an infrastructure that enables real-time triple backup of OT systems at our plants. A portion of our data is securely stored in our data center, while the remainder is maintained at our disaster recovery center (DRC). In addition, we increased data communication speed by ten times and backup transfer speed by forty times, significantly improving users’ data access performance. To support our IT/OT transformation process, we established a team of automation engineers and ensured smooth service delivery in these areas through targeted training programs. By focusing on continuous improvement of our IT infrastructure, we are enhancing our storage and processing power in line with Akçansa’s five-year growth projection.

Cyber-Security
Cyber-security is not only a requirement for a company with a broad operational and technological infrastructure such as Akçansa, but also a cornerstone for protecting our operational continuity and corporate reputation. To strengthen our information security against increasing geographic and geopolitical risks, we implement comprehensive cybersecurity processes on the OT side in line with IT standards. To enhance our cybersecurity maturity level, we conduct regular penetration tests, identify potential risks in advance, and reassess our user equipment in line with current requirements. In addition, we have upgraded our wireless network infrastructure, improving both performance and network security. Through these efforts, we have aligned our OT services with global IT standards. According to information security maturity assessments conducted by independent audit organizations, our IT and OT systems provide a level of security above the averages of both Türkiye and the global manufacturing sector.
