Turn the real data flow into an engineering control register
The Nigeria Data Protection Act is an official starting point. The project still needs facts about the organization, users, purpose, records, systems, vendors, countries, access roles, and retention. Qualified owners decide applicability; Faith Forge Labs implements and verifies approved controls.
Prepare the project brief- Authority
- Nigeria Data Protection Commission
- Default
- Collect less and restrict access
- Certification
- None claimed
Register fields and purpose
For every field and event, record the user task, business purpose, required or optional status, sensitivity, source, authoritative record, downstream copies, access roles, and removal rule. Avoid collecting identity, financial, location, employment, health, biometric, or children's information without a necessary approved purpose.
- Field-level necessity
- Sensitive-category review
- System of record
- Correction and deletion route
Register processors and movement
Hosting, email, analytics, support, identity, payment, AI, backups, exports, developers, and integrations may process or access data. Record account owner, data categories, locations, purpose, configuration, privileged access, contract owner, retention, incident contact, and replacement plan.
- Vendor and subprocessor map
- Cross-border access
- Secrets and privileges
- Exit and data-return path
Register operational proof
After responsible approval, test notices, required and optional behavior, permissions, audit events, request workflows, retention, deletion, export, backups, restore, and incident escalation. The evidence supports internal or specialist review; it does not advertise NDPC approval or a universal compliance outcome.
- Fictional test records
- Role-based access checks
- Retention job evidence
- Known limitations and review date
