The Reality

The NDPC Is Already Enforcing

The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 isn't a paper regulation. The NDPC has investigated, fined, and publicly sanctioned major Nigerian businesses. The fines are significant — up to 2% of annual gross revenue.

Fidelity Bank₦555.8M

The GAID 2025, effective September 2025, added detailed implementation requirements. The compliance deadline has passed — the NDPC is now actively investigating and penalising.

"Data protection is no longer voluntary compliance; it is now a legal obligation with enforcement consequences." — Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023

The challenge? Most businesses don't know where they stand. Manual compliance audits cost ₦10-20 million and take weeks. For most organisations, that means either paying a fortune or flying blind.

Sector Coverage

Built for Every Regulated Vertical

The NDPA 2023 establishes 13 core requirements that apply universally. But real compliance goes further — fintechs must satisfy CBN, NDIC, and SEC requirements. Healthcare providers must comply with the National Health Act.

AKO GRC handles this with a modular architecture. The NDPA core is the foundation; sector modules attach on top, adding extra requirements, questions, and findings.

Adding a new sector is configuration, not code. One entry defines the extra requirements and the engine handles the rest. This means AKO GRC can expand into any regulated vertical — telecoms, education, public sector — without rebuilding.

🏦 Fintech Module

NDPA core + CBN, NDIC, SEC, FRC regulations. 18 total requirements (13 core + 5 sector). Covers BVN security, CBN incident reporting, outsourcing controls.

🏥 Healthcare Module
