Touchdata Partners with Vanta to Transform Compliance in Nigeria with AI and Automation

Toronto, Canada / Lagos, Nigeria – September 2025

Touchdata is proud to announce our strategic partnership with Vanta, the world’s leading trust management platform, to revolutionize how Nigerian companies achieve and maintain information security certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

This collaboration brings together Vanta’s powerful automation platform, trusted by over 12,000 companies globally, with Touchdata’s deep local expertise in the Nigerian and West African market. Together, we aim to eliminate the pain of manual, one-off compliance projects and replace them with continuous, AI-driven trust management.

Why Compliance Needs to Change

For too long, achieving ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification has been an overwhelming, costly, and time-consuming task. Organizations often spend months assembling evidence manually, running spreadsheets, and juggling consultants. Worse still, compliance is typically treated as a one-time audit exercise—leaving companies exposed between certification cycles.

This traditional approach is no longer sustainable, especially for Nigerian fintechs and enterprises operating under increasing regulatory scrutiny from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), and global partners.

Companies need a way to achieve compliance faster, cheaper, and smarter, while also ensuring they can continuously prove trust to regulators, customers, and investors.

Enter Vanta + Touchdata

By partnering with Vanta, Touchdata is offering Nigerian organizations the opportunity to:

- Cut certification time and costs by up to 50% through automation of evidence collection, security monitoring, and policy management.

- Replace spreadsheets with integrations: Vanta connects to over 375 systems—covering cloud infrastructure, HR tools, identity providers, and ticketing systems—so compliance evidence is collected automatically.

- Move from one-time audits to continuous compliance, with daily monitoring of access controls, security policies, and vendor risks.

- Leverage local expertise: Touchdata ensures Vanta’s global framework is adapted to Nigerian regulatory requirements and industry realities.

This partnership is not just about passing audits—it’s about building lasting trust with customers, partners, and regulators.

Vanta’s Global Momentum

Vanta has rapidly become the global leader in trust management. In July 2025, the company raised an additional $150 million in Series D funding, pushing its valuation to $4.15 billion. This growth reflects the increasing demand for scalable, technology-driven compliance solutions that can keep pace with fast-moving industries like fintech, healthcare, and cloud services.

With more than 12,000 customers worldwide, including startups, scale-ups, and enterprise clients, Vanta has proven its ability to deliver measurable results. Now, through its partnership with Touchdata, those same capabilities are available to Nigerian companies seeking to compete and thrive on the global stage.

Why This Matters for Nigerian Fintechs

Nigeria is home to one of Africa’s most dynamic fintech ecosystems. Companies like Flutterwave, Kuda, PiggyVest, and many others are expanding rapidly, attracting global investors, and serving millions of customers across borders.

To succeed internationally, Nigerian fintechs must demonstrate world-class compliance standards. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications are no longer optional—they are critical to winning enterprise contracts, securing partnerships, and gaining consumer trust.

Through Vanta + Touchdata, fintechs and financial institutions can now achieve these certifications in record time while also maintaining continuous compliance to satisfy both Nigerian regulators and global partners.
