About us
We are on a mission to transform data protection and cyber security amongst organisations in Nigeria by delivering behaviour changing training to employees on the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and information security through innovative, engaging courses.
NDPR and Cyber Security Training
Becoming NDPR compliant
NDPR compliance is a pressing issue for any organisation which processes data of more than 10,000 data subjects per year. Even if your organisation handles less than 10,000 data subjects, failure to comply can still result in fines of 1% of your annual gross revenue or the sum of 2 million Naira, whichever is greater. Non-compliance with NDPR is a huge business risk that is both reputational and financial.
Employee Training on NDPR
Every member of your workforce has a responsibility to keep the data you process secure. As an organisation processing personal information of data subjects, you have a duty to train your workforce on their roles and responsibilities within NDPR. We offer NDPR compliance training that ensures your workforce is aware of their responsibilities through engaging, informative course contents.
Employee Training on Cyber Security
The argument for training employees on cyber security is a simple one: if employees don't know how to recognise a security threat, how can they be expected to avoid it, report it or remove it? They cannot. A cyber security awareness training is important to your continuation of a business and its operations. Our training courses will teach your employees how to identify and report security threats with better accuracy.
Available Courses
Our courses are designed to help you become NDPR compliant and protect your organisation against data breaches and cyber attacks. Available modules include:
Why is NDPR so important?
NDPR is the biggest change in Data Protection for a generation, but do you know how it will affect you? NDPR makes changes to the way you use, process and store data in Nigeria. While the changes might seem small, they will affect everyone. This module covers Good Practice, Accountability, and the steps you and your organisation can take to be compliant and an overview of the principles you need to follow.
NDPR: Key Definitions
This module will cover the key terminology you should know relating to NDPR. If you have considered your compliance with current Data Protection laws before hopefully some of these will be familiar to you.
Key Changes: Concepts and Processing Conditions
NDPR might sound intimidating, but it is not too different to the Right to Privacy laws you are already following. Some of the content has been updated and brought up to speed with the technological changes we have gone through. Some content remains very similar to the laws you already follow.
In this module, you will learn the key changes from old laws and you will be advised on key concepts and processing.
NDPR: Key Principles
There are six Data Protection principles outlined in NDPR that you will need to follow to ensure that you and your organisation are compliant when it comes to Nigerian Data Protection law.
Within this module, we will inform you on the six data protection principles and what these mean when processing data within your organisation.
Privacy Impact Assessments and Security Measures
Upon completing this module, you will understand what an impact assessment is and when you have to do one. What is the extent of the security measures an organisation is expected to take to protect data?
Data Subjects: Additional Rights and Consent
‘Data Subjects’ is a term you will hear a lot when it comes to NDPR, but what are they exactly? Within this module, you will learn about the role, rights and obligations that data subjects play under NDPR.
Data Protection Officer
Some organisations need to hire a Data Protection Officer under NDPR, but what exactly is a DPO? Within this module, we will tell you what a Data Protection Officer is, the role they have within your organisation and how to tell if you need one.
Fair Processing
What does it mean to process data fairly? This module will investigate in more detail the meaning of fair processing and one of the key steps your organisation will need to take to satisfy this requirement.
Data Breaches and Noncompliance
The phrase ‘data breach’ sounds scary. But if you have put all the relevant NDPR processes in place, then there is little need to worry as they should be few and far between. This module covers, what a personal data breach is, when should you declare a breach, what you should include and the sanctions which you could face for non-compliance with NDPR.
Cyber Security Awareness
All professional and competent organisations should care about upskilling their workforce with essential training in cyber security. It is important that both organisations and their staff understand and feel confident that they know how to keep information secure at every level of the business. Rigorous Cyber Security training is essential for any organisation that deals with personal and sensitive information on a daily basis.
