Smartcomply Academy has secured accreditation from the Nigeria National Accreditation System (NiNAS) as a personnel certification body, allowing it to certify professionals in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, privacy, and other fields under ISO/IEC 17024:2026. This accreditation, referenced as PC0001A, took effect on September 7, 2026, and is valid until September 6, 2030.

As of September 22, 2026, Smartcomply Academy is the only entity on the NiNAS public register with an accreditation certificate citing the 2026 edition of ISO/IEC 17024.
