About the role
A data protection compliance manager turns privacy law into day-to-day controls for products, staff and suppliers. The interview tests your grasp of the NDPA, your response to uncertain facts and your ability to build a programme that protects people while supporting legitimate business activity.
How to prepare
- Review the data protection principles, lawful bases, rights, processor duties and breach response under current official guidance.
- Map a familiar product's personal data from collection through use, sharing, retention and deletion.
- Prepare an example of a privacy risk assessment that changed a project or control.
- Practise explaining a complex privacy requirement to product, marketing and engineering teams.
- Check the official Nigeria Data Protection Commission site for current guidance and regulatory expectations.
Common mistakes
- Treating consent as the only possible basis for processing personal data.
- Giving a legal conclusion before establishing what data, purpose, access and safeguards are involved.
- Describing breach response without evidence preservation, containment or documented decisions.
- Using legal language that technical and commercial teams cannot act on.
