Background of the Study

The financial technology (fintech) sector has become a crucial part of Nigeria's financial ecosystem, offering digital payment, lending, and investment services (Morris & Swanson, 2023). However, with the growing use of digital platforms comes the increasing risk of cybersecurity threats. IT security policies, which outline the strategies, protocols, and controls to safeguard digital assets, are vital for ensuring that fintech firms comply with industry regulations and protect sensitive customer data. This review will explore the effectiveness of IT security policies in fintech firms in Nasarawa State and their impact on compliance with data protection regulations and cybersecurity standards.
