Data protection policy

Introduction

At ATEOS Homes and Properties Ltd, we believe data is more than information, it’s trust.

This Data Policy outlines how we manage, store, and protect all data entrusted to us, including client, project, and partner information.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to ensure all data handled by ATEOS is managed responsibly, securely, and in compliance with Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and international best practices.

Scope

This policy applies to:

• All ATEOS employees, contractors, and authorized partners.

• All forms of data - digital, paper-based, or verbal that relate to clients, vendors, or operations.

Data management

We maintain clear processes for:

• Data classification: identifying and labeling sensitive vs. general data.

• Data access: granting information access only to authorized personnel.

• Data accuracy: ensuring that information remains up-to-date and reliable.

• Data retention: securely storing or disposing of data when no longer needed

Data security

We employ a layered approach to data protection that includes:

• Secure cloud storage and encrypted backups.

• Regular system audits and password-protected access.

• Employee training on data confidentiality and phishing awareness.

• Controlled sharing of information with verified vendors and stakeholders.

Data breach response

In the rare event of a breach:

• The incident is reported immediately to management.

• A full investigation and containment process is initiated.

• Affected individuals and regulators are notified, where required.

• Preventive actions are taken to avoid future occurrences.

Accountability

Every ATEOS staff member is responsible for safeguarding the information in their care.

Non-compliance with this policy may result in disciplinary action in line with company procedures.
