The 5 Pillars of NDPA 2023 & NDPC Audits

Our structured assessment evaluates your technical and organizational measures across every statutory requirement.

1. Lawful Bases & Consent

Evaluation of consent mechanisms, legitimate interest assessments (LIA), contract necessity, and specific rules for vulnerable child subjects under Section 31.

2. Data Subject Rights (DSAR)

Verification of workflows for access, rectification, objection, portability, and automated decision-making compliance within statutory 30-day deadlines.

3. 72h Breach Reporting

Audit of internal incident response procedures, cryptographic controls, and Form 001 notification readiness within the 72-hour window under NDPA Section 40.

4. DCPMI Tiers & DPO Registration

Determination of whether your organization qualifies as a Data Controller of Major Importance (Ultra-High, Extra-High, or Ordinary) and requirements for certified Data Protection Officer (DPO) registration.

5. Cross-Border Transfers & Schedule 5

Assessment of international cloud storage, vendor processing agreements (DPA), Binding Corporate Rules (BCR), Standard Contractual Clauses, and NDPC Adequacy Whitelists.

Statutory Transition

Why Nigerian Businesses Must Upgrade from NDPR to NDPA 2023

While the NDPR (2019) introduced baseline data protection in Nigeria, the enactment of the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA 2023) established an independent statutory regulator — the NDPC — with full prosecutorial powers, substantially higher penalties, and mandatory registry requirements.

Governing Body NITDA (Agency) NDPC (Statutory Commission)
Statutory Maximum Fine ₦10,000,000 or 2% turnover Up to ₦10,000,000 or 2% gross turnover
