Perfetti Van Melle Turkey Proves ISO/IEC 27001 Compliance and Secures its Exclusive Confectionery Recipes

Perfetti Van Melle Turkey, the Istanbul branch of the global confectionery maker behind brands like Mentos and Chupa Chups, must protect vast amounts of sensitive data — including exclusive product recipes — while maintaining ISO/IEC 27001 certification. A seven-person IT team supports 400+ users across 10 offices and needed better control and visibility over Active Directory, Windows Server and file servers to prevent data exposure, ensure compliance and avoid reputational or financial damage.

By deploying Netwrix Auditor for AD, Windows Server and file servers, the team gained automated, easy-to-read visibility into file activity, permission changes and failed access attempts, enabling policy enforcement and quicker incident detection. The solution produced out-of-the-box ISO/IEC 27001 reports and fast interactive searches, cutting report preparation time by 60%, strengthening accountability and helping secure the company’s trade secrets.
