As the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) intensifies enforcement of the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, NDPR, many Nigerian businesses remain unknowingly exposed to crippling legal and security risks.
However, an Artificial Intelligence platform called, AEGIS AI has come to the aid of vulnerable businesses, by developing a cutting-edge technology known as Visitors and Inward Mail Management System, VMS, which transitions corporate lobbies from vulnerable paper-based logs to a secure, automated digital ecosystem.
Prior to the debut of this system, the standard practice for Nigerian offices was the paper register at the front desk. However, experts had warned that these notebooks are not only outdated, but also a legal ticking bomb.
According to the founder of AEGIS AI, Dr Joshua Denila “the current paper register likely violates the NDPR in at least three ways: First, it allows unauthorized disclosure’ because every visitor can see the names and phone numbers of those who signed in before them. Second, it lacks an Audit Trail; anyone can tear out a page. Third, it fails the Purpose Limitation test.
These lapses don’t just compromise visitors’ privacy; they expose the organization to fines of up to N10 Million or 2 percent of the company’s annual gross revenue.”
Denila said as the system is now being circulated across the country, he is offering Nigerian corporate organizations, residential estates, and government agencies a free 15-minute Lobby Security & Mail Audit.
He added that beyond compliance, VMS as a seamless security experience was built to provide more than just compliance, but also to offer a sophisticated, first-class impression for visitors while tightening security protocols.
*Touchless Check-in: QR code-based registration to enhance hygiene and speed.
Instant Notifications: Hosts receive real-time alerts via SMS or Email the moment their guest arrives.
*Blacklist Management:* Instantly flag unwanted individuals before they gain access to your premises.
*Mail & Package Tracking*: A dedicated module to ensure office deliveries are logged and routed to the correct recipient without getting lost.
*Encrypted Data Storage:* All visitor data is stored in accordance with NDPR standards, ensuring that private information remains private.
Further on the Free 15-minute Lobby Security & Mail Audit, Denila said: “In a bid to help Nigerian businesses secure their borders, AEGIS AI is offering a complimentary 15-minute diagnostic session.
“During this audit, security, experts will evaluate an organization’s current guest entry and mail handling processes, identifying the three specific ways their current system might be violating NDPR and providing a roadmap for digital transformation”.
He added that “security is only as strong as its weakest link, and for most buildings, that link is the front desk. We are here to show businesses how to turn that vulnerability into a position of strength and professionalism.”
