In an era of rapidly shifting regulations and growing cyber threats, businesses are under constant pressure to meet industry standards while balancing growth, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. Compliance, often viewed as a complex labyrinth of rules, audits, and processes, has long stressed organisations. Enter Compass, is a groundbreaking application poised to transform the compliance landscape.
The challenge of compliance in a changing world
For businesses across industries, staying compliant with global standards such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and ISO 22301, or local frameworks like the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), has become a daunting task. The stakes are high: failure to comply can lead to hefty fines, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Yet, compliance remains a reactive, box-ticking exercise for many organisations—a necessary evil rather than a strategic advantage.
According to the founder, Michael Ojih the Chief Solution Officer of InfoAssure, businesses worldwide can purchase the application using their local currency, removing a common barrier to entry and that happens to be one the key feature, becoming a solution in the industry when foreign exchange is a big deal.
Just as the brain behind the product we have today, Michael Ojih will always say “Compass is here to change that narrative”. It was designed for organisations of all sizes, this powerful platform simplifies the compliance process, making it accessible, efficient, and, dare we say, even enjoyable.
A one-stop solution for all compliance needs
What sets Compass apart from other tools is its ability to handle compliance across multiple domains. From IT controls and risk management to financial governance and third-party risk assessments, Compass streamlines the entire process. The platform’s intuitive design enables businesses to manage their compliance journey seamlessly, aligning people, technology, and processes with global standards.
Key features include:
NDPA Compliance: Ensure adherence to Nigeria’s data protection laws.
Risk Assessment and Treatment Plans: Identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks effectively.
ISO 27001 and PCI DSS Compliance: Align with international standards for information security and payment data.

With these tools at their fingertips, organisations can transition from compliance chaos to structured, disciplined operations.
