GDPR Foundation
The global benchmark regulation behind modern privacy laws — concepts, obligations, rights and vocabulary. The natural starting point for any privacy role.

Data Protection & NDPA Training in Nigeria
Build the capability Nigeria's data protection expectations demand — privacy, security and DPO-level training delivered locally.
Nigeria now has a dedicated data protection law — the Nigeria Data Protection Act — with real obligations for organisations that handle personal data, and a regulator with power to act. Whether you serve customers, employ staff, or process data for clients, someone in your organisation needs to understand what the law expects and how to run compliant processing. That is a training problem, and it is ours to solve.
WHAT THE LAW EXPECTS
The obligations, in plain language
- Lawful, fair processing. Personal data needs a lawful basis, and data subjects need to know what happens to their data.
- Data subject rights. People can ask about, access, correct and in defined cases delete their data — and organisations must be able to answer.
- Security and breach handling. Appropriate protection of personal data, and a real process for when things go wrong.
- Accountability and oversight. Records, impact thinking where processing is high-risk, and designated responsibility — which is where DPO-level competence matters.
THE TRAINING PATH
Courses that map to the job
Certified Data Protection Officer (CDPO)
The PECB DPO programme: carrying formal responsibility for compliance, running impact assessments, handling rights requests, breach response and regulator contact.
Information security baseline
Privacy lives on top of security. ISO/IEC 27001 training gives the people around your privacy programme the security foundation personal data depends on.
These are the core paths — the full PECB portfolio includes privacy-adjacent and security specialisations for teams that need them.
FAQ
Data protection training — common questions
Does GDPR training cover the Nigeria Data Protection Act?
GDPR is the reference framework most privacy laws — including the NDPA — draw on, so GDPR training builds transferable competence. Our team adds Nigerian context in delivery, and we keep course content aligned to the PECB official curriculum.
Who should take DPO training?
Anyone carrying formal data protection responsibility — current or aspiring DPOs, legal and compliance leads, and the governance staff who support them. Organisations deciding whether they need a DPO should contact us for guidance first.
