In commemoration of Data Privacy Day and Week 2023, CyberPlural MSSP, a managed security service provider situated in Abuja held a session focused on data privacy from security operations perspectives citing use cases from its ongoing and continuous Threat Intel and Monitoring OPs.

Lessons that can help organizations, developers, and individuals handling user data to ensure they are upholding the fundamental right of data subjects at all times were shared during this session. Detail of this session can be found here.

Part of what was also shared was a blog focusing on NDPR’s Technical Requirements for Organizations to Ensure Data Privacy. These requirements address data privacy at their core, such as those covering encryption, data storage and retention, data minimization, data breach notification, and risk assessments.

NDPR’s Technical Requirements for Organizations to Ensure Data Privacy – DPW2023

To guarantee compliance, the NDPR includes provisions for the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee all aspects of an organization’s compliance with this legislation.

Organizations are recommended to take the technical requirements set forth by the NDPR seriously in order to ensure the privacy and security of user data. By adhering to these requirements, enterprises may limit the risk of data breaches and avoid the associated consequences/penalties entirely.
