DPO as a Service

A Data Protection Officer for your business, without the full-time hire.

If your business collects customer, user or employee data, the law expects you to look after it properly. The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 sets duties for businesses that handle personal data, and someone needs to own them. For many growing businesses, hiring a full-time Data Protection Officer isn't practical.

With DPO as a Service, Leap Wise LP, a technology-focused commercial law firm, acts as your Data Protection Officer on a monthly basis. You get ongoing guidance on your data protection duties, without the cost of a full-time hire.

What you get:

• Ongoing advice on your data protection compliance
• Support when customers or staff ask about their personal data
• Guidance when something goes wrong, such as a suspected data breach
• A lawyer you can ask, so you aren't guessing

Who it's for:

• Startups and growing businesses that handle customer or user data
• Businesses that have registered with the NDPC and want to stay compliant
• Teams that need a data protection lead but can't justify a full-time employee

How it works:

1. Pay and send us a short summary of your business and the data you handle.
2. We confirm the scope of your DPO service with you.
3. We start acting as your Data Protection Officer.
4. You raise questions and issues as they come up.

Price: ₦450,000 per month.

Please note: Regulatory filings and government fees, such as NDPC filing fees, are not included and are charged separately.
