Document background
The Data Protection Risk Assessment is a crucial compliance document required under Nigerian data protection law, specifically designed to help organizations evaluate their data processing activities and associated risks. This assessment becomes necessary when organizations process personal data, implement new data processing systems, or need to demonstrate compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. It provides a systematic analysis of data protection practices, identifies potential risks and vulnerabilities, and recommends appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance. The document is particularly important given Nigeria's enhanced focus on data protection enforcement and the significant penalties for non-compliance under the current regulatory framework. Organizations should conduct this assessment periodically or when implementing significant changes to their data processing activities.
