What every organisation must have in place.
Data Protection & Privacy Policy
All public and private organisations in Nigeria that control personal data are required by the NDPR (2019) to publish a comprehensive Data Protection & Privacy Policy. Our team provides experienced, tailor-made templates for our clients.
Continuous capacity building
The NDPR (2019) requires every Data Controller or Processor to ensure continuous capacity building for its DPO and everyone involved in data processing. We deliver a virtual Data Protection Awareness training programme to sensitise all staff.
Data Protection Impact Assessment
Whenever your organisation embarks on a project involving intensive use of personal data, a DPIA is required. We identify possible breach areas and design controls to address the risks — combining audit and project-management practice.
Annual Compliance Audit
The NDPR (2019) requires all Data Controllers to conduct an annual Data Protection Compliance Audit and submit the report to the NDPC by 15th March of the succeeding year. Our team reviews the policies, programmes, processes and procedures put in place to meet those obligations.
Build a culture of privacy across your team.
From executive briefings for the C‑suite to hands‑on workshops for engineering and customer‑facing teams, our training programmes turn regulation into everyday practice — reducing the risk of breaches and strengthening customer trust.

Frequently asked questions.
Why do you need a DPCO?
The Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, 2019 requires companies that collect and process personal data of Nigerians (whether resident in Nigeria or not) to engage a licensed DPCO to conduct audits in line with the Regulation. Companies that fail to comply risk a penalty of up to 2% of annual gross revenue or ₦10 million (whichever is greater), plus criminal or civil liability.
Which companies are regulated?
Companies (whether located in Nigeria or not) that collect or process personal information of Nigerians — names, email addresses, physical addresses, telephone numbers, bank details or any other personal information.
When should you engage a DPCO?
If you hold the data of up to 1,000 Nigerians, you are mandated by law to engage the services of a DPCO for the purpose of auditing your data practices.
Why comply?
Compliance keeps you in good standing with NITDA, improves customer confidence in your product or service, ensures your staff are properly trained, and helps you identify and fix weaknesses in your data privacy practice.
