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.

Fintech firms in Nasarawa State may face challenges in ensuring compliance with IT security policies due to the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, regulatory complexities, and limited resources. While some fintech firms may have strong IT security policies in place, others may struggle with implementation, leading to vulnerabilities that compromise data security. This study aims to review the IT security policies in fintech firms and assess their role in ensuring compliance and protecting customer data.
