The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has denied any form of server breaches, saying its servers are fully optimised and certified to the ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Management System Standard. NIMC Director General Aliyu Aziz said the commission has gone to great lengths to ensure Nigeria's database is adequately protected, and assured the public that it will uphold the highest ethical standards in data security and ensure compliance with data protection and privacy regulations. The NIMC does not use or store information on AWS or any public cloud, and has made its app available to the public to eliminate challenges in accessing NINs. The public should be aware that possession of a NIN slip does not equal access to the National Identity Database, and that no licensed partner/vendor is authorised to scan and store copies of individuals' NIN slips.
