NDPB:
Since its establishment, the Bureau led by Dr. Olatunji has been exploring areas of making data privacy a cornerstone of sustainable digital economy; through collaboration in capacity building, law enforcement and the vast prospect of data governance as a crucial strategy for conservation of law and order in the society at large.
Dr Olatunji had at different fora conveyed the need to take the issue of data privacy seriously both in the public and private sectors, particularly as the Federal Government of Nigeria makes efforts towards attaining a paperless system by 2030.
Therefore, the the training was geared towards acquainting the staff of NDPB with the imperative strategies in Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).
PIM is prelude standard to ISO 27701 certification. The standard shows you how to design, set up, manage and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It gives you a lot of flexibility in how you create and run your PIMS. ISO 27701’s flexibility will help you follow any relevant local PII regulations too.
