Here is a scary truth. Most small business owners collect people's information every day. But they have no idea where it is stored. Is it in a WhatsApp chat? A notebook? An old Excel file? If you cannot point to it, you cannot protect it. And under the new DPDPA law, not protecting it is a problem. This week, let us find out where YOUR business keeps people's information.
Think about your own business right now. A customer sent their address on WhatsApp. Your HR saved a staff member's Aadhaar copy in a folder. A salesperson has leads in a personal Excel file. A support person has complaint details in their phone. All of this is people's information. All of it needs to be protected under DPDPA. But first, you must know where it is. You cannot fix what you cannot find.
List every place your business stores customers' or staff's information.
Ask your team: are you saving customer details on personal phones or WhatsApp?
