Platform architecture

How the platform is built

All three Jirow products run on a shared cloud-native architecture organised around five stages. Encryption, access control, audit logging and lineage apply at every stage.

Inputs

  • Public grid data
  • Metering / IoT
  • SCADA / BMS
  • Third-party feeds

Five stages

Ingestion to delivery, with lineage retained end to end.

01

Ingestion

Source + retrieval timestamp attached at entry

Automated collection from public grid data sources, metering and IoT devices, SCADA and building management systems, third-party feeds, and structured manual inputs. Every record carries its source and retrieval timestamp from the moment it enters the system.

02

Storage

Governed data lake, raw + processed, full lineage

A governed data lake retains raw and processed data with full lineage, so any published figure can be traced back to the input that produced it.

03

Processing

Validation, reconciliation, entity resolution

Automated pipelines validate, reconcile and enrich incoming data — including entity reconciliation across sources that name the same asset differently, a recurring problem in this market.

04

Analysis

Trend, volatility, anomaly, forecast — tagged as estimate

Statistical and machine-learning models produce trend analysis, volatility measures, anomaly detection and forecasting. Model outputs are tagged as estimates throughout.

05

Delivery

Dashboards, reports, API, assistant

Dashboards, structured reports and API access, with the assistant layer providing natural-language access to the same underlying data.

Operating principles

  • Cloud-native and horizontally scalable, sized to actual workload rather than provisioned for peak
  • Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, audit logging at every layer
  • Source attribution and data lineage retained end to end
  • Designed for degraded conditions — the platform reports missing or stale upstream data rather than failing silently or filling gaps invisibly

Security, compliance & governance

Built for regulated buyers

Jirow's customers include institutions that cannot adopt software without a documented security and data-protection posture. We treat that posture as a product requirement rather than a procurement afterthought.

Encryption

Data encrypted in transit and at rest across all platform services.

Access control

Role-based access control with least-privilege defaults.

Audit logging

Logging across data access and administrative actions.

Tenant segregation

Client data segregated in multi-tenant deployments.

Data protection

Jirow operates under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and the regulatory framework administered by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. Personal data handling, retention and subject rights are governed accordingly.
