Smartcomply secures accreditation to certify cybersecurity professionals

Smartcomply Academy has secured accreditation from the Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS) to certify cybersecurity professionals, as well as professionals in artificial intelligence, privacy, and other fields under ISO/IEC 17024:2026. The accreditation, PC0001A, began on September 7, 2026, and will remain valid until September 6, 2030.

Smartcomply Academy is now the only body on the NiNAS public register with a current accreditation certificate citing the 2026 edition of ISO/IEC 17024. The accreditation process involved assessing the academy’s certification system, technical competence, impartiality, and controls for certifying individuals against defined requirements.

Smartcomply Academy began in 2024 as a learning platform and subsequently established a separate certification system to meet NiNAS accreditation requirements. The academy acts as both scheme owner and accredited personnel certification body for five scheme families within its approved scope.
