About the role
This interview is for an assistant supporting an organisation's data protection controls and records in Nigeria. The panel is assessing whether you understand basic NDPA principles, document work carefully, recognise when to escalate and handle personal information with discretion. Check the Nigeria Data Protection Commission's official guidance for current rules.
How to prepare
- Review the basic principles of purpose limitation, data minimisation, security, retention and accountability.
- Use the regulator's official materials to check the current NDPA terminology and expectations.
- Practise mapping what personal information a simple customer process collects, uses, stores and shares.
- Prepare to explain how you would log a data subject request and track it through the internal process.
- Think through the first facts to capture when someone reports a possible personal data breach.
Common mistakes
- Quoting legal terms without connecting them to the facts of the scenario.
- Investigating a suspected incident informally without logging or escalating it.
- Promising a request outcome before identity and authority have been checked through the approved process.
- Including real personal information in a work sample.
