Ritemate Technologies Empowers Businesses with Insightful Training on Data Privacy, Protection & Compliance

In a world where data is the new oil, organizations across Nigeria are realizing that protecting personal information is no longer optional—it is a legal, ethical, and business imperative. Leading this charge is hot pictures SiennaRitemate Technologies, a licensed Data Protection Compliance Organisation (DPCO) under the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), which recently hosted a groundbreaking two-day training on Data Privacy, Protection, and Compliance in Lagos.

The training, held on September 9–10, 2025, brought together participants from various organizations who gained practical insights into the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023, the principles of lawful data processing, data subject rights, obligations of controllers and processors, breach management, third-party risks, and the emerging challenges posed by AI, IoT, and Big Data.

Mr. Jide Ogunleye, CEO of Ritemate Technologies, in his opening and closing remarks, emphasized the urgency for Nigerian organizations to immediately register with the NDPC as either Data Controllers or Data Processors, and to begin preparing for their annual Compliance Audit Returns (CAR). He noted that data compliance is not only about avoiding penalties but also about building trust, enhancing competitiveness, and safeguarding reputation in a digital-first economy.

“What we have achieved with this training is more than just compliance awareness,” Ogunleye stated. “We are equipping organizations with the tools, policies, and governance frameworks they need to thrive responsibly in today’s data-driven world. At Ritemate, our mission is to make compliance practical, sustainable, and value-adding.”

Participants lauded the sessions as “insightful and eye-opening”, noting that they left with a clear understanding of why protecting data subjects is non-negotiable, and how they can immediately begin implementing compliance structures in their organizations.

Beyond open trainings such as this, Ritemate Technologies also offers bespoke, organization-specific compliance training, tailored to the unique risks and realities of each company. As a licensed DPCO, the firm provides end-to-end services, including:

• Data Audit and Filing to the NDPC
  Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
• Policy Review, Modification, and Implementation
• Awareness Training and Capacity Building
• Monitoring, Evaluation, and Compliance Advisory

The company’s hands-on approach ensures that clients not only tick regulatory boxes but also embed a culture of data governance, security, and accountability across all levels of their operations.

As businesses continue to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, Ritemate Technologies reaffirms its commitment to partnering with organizations in Nigeria and beyond, ensuring that data protection is not a burden, but a competitive advantage.

For organizations that missed this session, another edition will be announced soon. Meanwhile, companies are encouraged to engage Ritemate for customized training and compliance support that meets their specific needs.
