ASIRI

The operating company behind Asiri.

Asiri is a Lagos-based operating company turning Nigeria's privacy and assurance obligations into infrastructure teams can run, evidence, and explain.

Why we exist

Nigerian privacy law deserves Nigerian software.

In privacy operations work, we kept watching the same scene play out: brilliant Nigerian operators stapling European tools to a Nigerian law that didn't quite fit. Audits passed on paper and failed in practice. Templates referenced GDPR articles. Support tickets sat overnight in another timezone.

Asiri started as a weekend tool to fix RoPA chaos. By 2025 we knew it had to be a product — one built in Lagos, for the NDPC era, with no European tax bolted on top.

We're not a privacy-tech company that translated its docs. We're a Nigerian privacy operator building the software local compliance work always needed: NDPA-native by default, evidence-ready from day one.

Why now

The enforcement gap is no longer theoretical.

NDPC numbers, public as of 2025. Roughly 30,000 organisations are required to file compliance audit returns and haven't.

Operating principles

What we won't compromise.

Lagos-built.

We sit where the law sits. Our engineers, counsel and support all work Lagos hours — no translated frameworks, no overnight ticket queues.

NDPA-native, by default.

Every screen, schema and prompt was designed against the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and NDPC guidance. Nothing is retrofitted from GDPR.

Evidence over assertion.

Trust is engineered, not claimed. Every action leaves a hash-chained log entry an auditor can verify in one click.

Builders carry the pager.

We ship for the engineers, DPOs and counsel who get the 2 a.m. call when something breaks. Speed and clarity over enterprise theatre.

Who we build for

Operators carrying real NDPA weight.

Tier-1 fintechs

CBN reporting, NDPA Article 65 obligations and consent at scale — one console.

Tier-2/3 fintech & lendtech

Audit-ready in days, not quarters. Implementation terms are scoped to your program.

HealthTech & HMOs

PHI defaults, lawful-basis maps and DSR portals tuned for Nigerian healthcare.

DPCOs

White-label client workspaces so licensed consultancies can run their book on Asiri.
