Compliance Category — For NGOs

Data Protection for NGOs & Nonprofits

Get audit-ready under Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA) before a funder asks the question — led by a certified Data Protection Officer. A readiness audit, beneficiary and donor data policy development, and breach-response planning, built for how NGOs actually collect and use data about the people they serve.

Why This Matters Now

Many NGOs assume compliance doesn't apply to them. The NDPC disagrees.

Without a Compliance Plan

No designated Data Protection Officer
No policy on how beneficiary, donor, or volunteer data is collected and used
No plan for what to do if a breach happens — especially serious with vulnerable beneficiary populations
Funder or grant agreements with data protection requirements you can't yet demonstrate meeting

With This Programme

✓A clear readiness audit showing exactly where you stand
✓A data policy you can show funders and beneficiaries with confidence
✓A ready response plan for the NDPA's 72-hour reporting window
✓Funder-ready documentation that strengthens your next grant application

Led by a certified Data Protection Officer. Formal DCPMI registration and CAR filing, where required, are routed through our licensed DPCO partner network — we're upfront about this boundary, not vague about it.

Not Sure Where You Stand?

Programme Structure

Three compliance pillars

Everything an NGO needs to move from uncertain to audit-ready — and funder-ready.

Audit, Filing & Retainership
A readiness audit now; formal filing routed via our DPCO partner; an ongoing fractional DPO retainer if you want continuous coverage.
02
Policy & Documentation Development
Data protection policy, beneficiary and donor consent forms, and vendor contract clauses — drafted for your specific programs, not a generic template.
03
Incident & Breach Response Readiness
A ready response plan for the NDPA's 72-hour breach reporting requirement — built once, ready whenever needed.
