Independent DPO
Gilbert Obichere
I am a legal and data protection professional focused on helping organisations understand and operationalise their obligations around data protection, privacy, cybersecurity governance and regulatory compliance. My professional focus sits at the intersection of law, data protection, cybersecurity and governance, risk & compliance (GRC). I have practical experience supporting data protection compliance, including assisting an organisation with its registration with NDPC, among others.

Clear payment terms
Know what you are paying for
Review the quotation
Compare the scope, deliverables, exclusions, professional fee and any stated taxes.
Agree the invoice schedule
Both parties sign the agreement. Each invoice follows its agreed date or delivery trigger.
Pay an issued invoice
Review the amount before checkout. A verified payment is recorded with a receipt; provider bank settlement is tracked separately.
Keep the record together
Messages, delivered work and payment records stay connected to the engagement. Statutory filing fees are identified separately where applicable.
The statutory NDPC fee is separate and is paid by you to the Commission, not to them and not through us. It never passes through Asiri, so there is nothing for us to hold, release, or take a cut of.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE EXPERTISE
Meet Gilbert
An individual data protection officer can support your organisation’s privacy work. Independent audit opinions and annual filings require a licensed DPCO.
- Sectors
Before you appoint
Understand the scope before you appoint
- Annual filing and independent audit opinions are provided through a licensed DPCO on Asiri. Discuss these separately from DPO support.
- Agree the officer’s responsibilities, availability and any potential conflicts before appointment.
The next step is a conversation
A good working relationship starts here.
Discuss your needs, availability and fees with Gilbert Obichere before agreeing to work.
