A Data Privacy Assessment is a mandatory requirement under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019 for organizations that process personal data of Nigerian residents. This document becomes necessary when an organization needs to evaluate its data protection practices, either as part of annual compliance requirements, before implementing new data processing systems, or when significant changes occur in the organization's data processing activities. The assessment provides a systematic analysis of how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and transferred, ensuring compliance with Nigerian privacy laws. It helps organizations identify and address privacy risks, implement appropriate safeguards, and demonstrate accountability to regulatory authorities. The document is particularly important given Nigeria's increasing focus on data protection enforcement and the potential penalties for non-compliance with the NDPR.
