Cyber Security and Data Privacy Law Firm in Nigeria
At Law Allianz, we are a leading data protection Nigeria law firm, helping businesses across fintechs, hospitals, schools, and creative platforms achieve full NDPA compliance and avoid regulatory sanctions. The Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 is now in full effect, and every company that collects personal data in Nigeria must comply or face fines of up to 2% of annual gross revenue.
Our services cover end-to-end compliance, from NDPC registration as a Data Controller or Processor of Major Importance, filing of annual audits, and drafting a compliant, NDPA-ready privacy policy, to implementing cybersecurity frameworks that protect customer data. As your trusted data protection lawyer Nigeria, we conduct compliance gap assessments, serve as your external Data Protection Officer (DPO), and ensure your contracts and website meet all NDPC requirements for NDPC registration.
We provide rapid data breach incident response, NDPC notification, and litigation defense, while our proactive NDPA compliance and privacy policy audits prevent breaches before they happen.
