Spurt! announces the launch of The Data Integrity Blueprint , a report and toolkit designed to help tech-enabled businesses across Nigeria understand the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and become audit-ready.
Alongside the Blueprint, Spurt! is rolling out The Data Protection & Governance Initiative, a practical, milestone-driven project that guides organisations from first-step fixes to NDPC-ready documentation in as little as four weeks.
“Data protection is no longer optional. It’s a business imperative,” said Samuel Oni, Analyst at Spurt! “Too many businesses are still treating compliance as a legal checkbox. The Blueprint and our Initiative turn compliance into an operational advantage by ensuring better governance, stronger customer trust, and real commercial leverage.”
Why this matters now
Nigeria’s digital economy is growing rapidly, and so is the volume of data companies collect. The Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC) has taken bold steps to enforce the NDPA with real penalties, and with awareness growing, customers expect businesses to handle their information responsibly. “Public awareness has grown significantly,” said Vanessa Obi, Legal Associate at Banwo & Ighodalo Law Firm and Data Protection Advocate. “People now know they have digital rights largely thanks to NDPC’s awareness campaigns and the press around major fines. Consumers are beginning to demand better consent practices and clearer explanations of how their data is used.” Spurt! developed the Blueprint to cut through legal jargon and show leaders what to do, not just what the law says.
What Spurt! is delivering
The Data Integrity Blueprint combines clear legal explanations, real-case analysis, and a pragmatic compliance roadmap. The complementary Data Protection & Governance Initiative packages that roadmap into three integrated pillars:
- 4-session staff training programme: Practical, role-specific sessions (virtual or in-person) that train product, operations, HR and support teams to handle customer and employee data safely.
- Compliance project: A milestone-driven project plan that includes a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA), quick wins, DPIAs where needed, vendor remediation and an NDPC-ready documentation pack.
- Policy pack: Ready-to-use, NDPA-aligned templates including privacy notices, DPIA templates, vendor clauses and incident response plans.
Together, these pillars are designed to reduce the time, cost, and complexity of compliance. Spurt! estimates participating businesses can reach NDPC-readiness in four weeks with focused commitment and hands-on support from the Solutions advisory team.
Pan-African reach, local impact
Spurt! works with businesses across more than fifteen African countries, giving the team rare regional perspective on practical privacy challenges and cross-border data flows. That continental footprint helps Spurt! design solutions that are locally relevant and internationally defensible, an advantage for Nigerian firms that operate regionally or partner with global platforms.
“Because we support clients in multiple African jurisdictions, we know where compliance practices converge, and where local nuance matters,” said Bornavita Nyakundi, Information Security Analyst at Spurt!. “That experience allows us to craft pragmatic, cost-effective programmes that actually get businesses over the compliance line.”
Who benefits
The Data Integrity Blueprint and The Data Protection and Governance Initiative are built for founders, tech leaders, MSME owners, and C-suite executives who collect customer data and need straightforward, measurable results. Whether you’re launching a new product with financial or health data, or you simply want to show investors and partners that your business manages risk effectively, this offers a fast, proven pathway to NDPC-readiness.
