The NDPC adopts a risk-based approach to regulating Data Controllers and Data Processors of Major Importance. Accordingly, organizations are classified as Ultra High Level, Extra High Level, or Ordinary High Level based on factors such as the volume of personal data processed, the sensitivity of that data, and the potential impact of the processing activities. Understanding these classifications can help organizations determine their regulatory obligations and take appropriate steps toward compliance with Nigeria’s data protection framework.

NEWSFLASH 🇰🇪| The education, health, financial & communication sectors process high volumes of #PersonalData. @ODPC_KE's sectoral Guidance Notes will help #DataControllers & #DataProcessors understand their obligations under the Data Protection Act. More: lnkd.in/dfGPJwUv

In February 2024, the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) issued a Guidance Notice on the registration of Data Controllers and Processors of Major Importance (DCPMIs), setting 30 June 2024 as the deadline for registration. Following a series of engagements with stakeholders, the NDPC on Saturday 29 June 2024, graciously extended the registration deadline to 30 September 2024 to grant organisations additional time to comply with the registration requirement and ensure all necessary data protection measures are adequately implemented. To give full effect to the deadline extension, the NDPC has also waived the penalty fee for non-registration. We therefore enjoin all public and private organisations designated as DCPMIs who are yet to comply with the registration requirement to take advantage of the extension and ensure compliance before the new deadline to avoid penalties. ——————————————— #Datacontrollers #DataCompliance #DataProtection #TechLaw #TechLawyers #DataManagement #NDPC #NigeriaDataProtectionCommission #DataProtectionOfficer #DataCompany

We have updated the data so all can see what we have achieved & also how much further we still have yet to go through an explicit informed opt-in model that keeps patients, staff & ourselves as #DataControllers safe whilst we continue to deliver quality, safe care during a crisis

If #Trust is so important to be maintained within the #NHS, why is this not being talked about openly? Patient data - being used for "research" without patients or GP practices as #DataControllers being informed. Who is making / being consulted on these decisions?

#ClientFeedback discretion and confidentiality is essential to any #ClientListening programme. Discover what checks #DataControllers must do to ensure appropriate controls are in place at buff.ly/3wgRd1V #ClientInsights
