Data Protection

As organisations increasingly rely on data to operate, innovate and deliver services, data protection and privacy have become central to business strategy, regulatory compliance and risk management. The evolving Nigerian regulatory landscape, increasing cross-border data flows and growing regulatory scrutiny require organisations to adopt robust and sustainable data governance frameworks.

At KENNA, our Data Protection & Privacy practice advises businesses and institutions on navigating Nigeria’s evolving data protection and privacy landscape. As a licensed Data Protection Compliance Organisation (DPCO) recognised by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, we provide practical, commercially focused advice across the data lifecycle.

Our services cover data protection compliance audits and risk assessments, privacy policies and governance frameworks, data protection impact assessments, regulatory advisory, cross-border data transfers and data-sharing arrangements, data protection training, and responses to regulatory inquiries and enforcement actions. We also advise on privacy and data protection considerations arising from technology, digital business models and emerging technologies.

Our practice works closely with clients to translate regulatory requirements into effective and workable compliance frameworks. Where disputes arise, we draw on our broader dispute resolution capabilities to advise and represent clients in privacy and data protection-related litigation and regulatory proceedings.

We combine regulatory expertise, commercial understanding and practical implementation to help clients manage risk, strengthen data governance and operate confidently in an increasingly data-driven economy.
