Company Onboarding – Summary

This page provides a short explanation of what Personnel onboarding is expected to cover. It is designed as a quick guide to understand what needs to be arranged; use the detailed onboarding checklist for execution and tracking.

Purpose

Personnel onboarding ensures a new team member can start work on day one with the right access, the right devices, and the right context. The objective is to avoid productivity loss, reduce security risk from misconfigured permissions, and confirm the person understands core policies and workflows.

What Onboarding Should Cover

1) Access provisioning

The new joiner should receive access to the systems required for their role (for example GCP, Slack, GitHub, CI/CD tools, issue tracking, HR tools, and corporate email). Access should be granted following least privilege principles and aligned with team ownership (who approves, who provisions, and which groups/roles are used).

2) Devices and company assets

The person should be assigned the necessary hardware (laptop/desktop, phone/tablet if applicable, and any extra equipment). Ownership, serial numbers, and assignment details should be recorded so the company can manage support, warranty, and future offboarding cleanly.

3) Training and orientation

The joiner should complete the minimum set of onboarding activities: background check (if applicable), security/compliance training (e.g., SOC 2 awareness), guidance for internal tools, company policies/handbook review, and an introduction to their team and manager so expectations and communication paths are clear.

Required onboarding steps:

  • Background check (if required for the role)
  • Security and compliance training (e.g., SOC 2 awareness)
  • KVKK (Türkiye data protection) awareness training
  • GDPR (EU data protection) awareness training
  • Review company policies and the employee handbook
  • Document completion of trainings and policy review (date and confirmation)

Close-out

Onboarding is considered complete when access is verified, assets are assigned, and the person has finished the core training/orientation items required for compliance and safe operation.
