The leak is not from hackers. It is from your own files.
You did not do anything wrong on purpose. But every day, your business shares customer phone numbers, sends Excel sheets, and fills Google Forms. Each of these small steps can leak people's information. A data breach in India now costs businesses around ₹22 crore on average. You do not need to be a big company for this to hurt you. It can happen to any shop, school, or small office.
Think about your daily work. You collect customer names and phone numbers on a paper form or Google Form. Your staff exports this list to Excel. Then someone shares it on WhatsApp for follow-up. At each step, information can leak. Your support staff may email a customer's PAN card copy to the wrong person. A shared folder with resumes or salary slips may be open to everyone in the office. None of this feels dangerous. But all of it is a risk under the new DPDPA law.
