Education

Student records, parents' contacts and staff files. Schools and universities are under active NDPC review.

Schools hold some of the most sensitive data there is: information about children. We help school owners, principals and bursars put simple, workable rules in place and train staff to follow them.

What you hold

  • Student admission records, results and report cards
  • Parents' names, phone numbers and addresses
  • Medical, welfare and disciplinary records
  • Staff files and payroll data

Rules that apply

  • The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and GAID 2025
  • Extra care for children's data, which in many cases needs a parent's consent

Common gaps we find

  • Results and class lists shared in large messaging groups
  • School management software chosen without checking data protection terms
  • Children's photographs published without clear consent
  • Teachers using AI tools with student work and personal details

Let's build a more secure and responsible digital environment.
