Find out how prepared your business is for Nigeria's Data Protection Act. This free scorecard evaluates your current data handling practices, consent processes, and security controls against NDPA requirements. Answer a few quick questions and get a personalised compliance rating with actionable next steps.
Any organisation that collects, stores, or processes personal data of individuals in Nigeria must comply with the Nigeria Data Protection Act. This includes SMEs, startups, e-commerce businesses, healthcare providers, fintech companies, and any business that handles customer information, regardless of company size.
Non-compliance can result in fines of up to 2% of annual gross revenue or 10 million Naira, whichever is greater. Beyond financial penalties, data breaches caused by poor compliance can damage customer trust, lead to legal action, and harm your brand reputation in the market.
The timeline depends on your current data protection practices. Businesses with basic policies in place can often reach compliance within 4 to 8 weeks with expert guidance. Companies starting from scratch may need 2 to 4 months for a full compliance programme covering policies, technical controls, and staff training.
The scorecard assesses five key areas of NDPA readiness: data collection and consent practices, data storage and security measures, data processing transparency, breach response preparedness, and documentation of your data protection policies. You get a score across each area with specific recommendations for improvement.
