If you can't answer it, you may lose the deal.
Imagine you finally get a meeting with a big company. They want to buy from you. Then they ask: 'How do you keep our customers' information safe?' You go blank. They move on to your competitor. This is happening right now in India. Big buyers are checking how small vendors handle people's information before signing any deal.
Say you supply uniforms to a big school chain. They ask: 'Where do you store your workers' Aadhaar and salary slips?' If you say 'on my personal WhatsApp,' they worry. Or you run a small IT firm. A big client asks: 'Who sees your customers' phone numbers?' If you have no answer, they pick someone else. Big buyers want to know your business handles people's information carefully. This is now part of every serious deal.

Make a simple rule: who in your team can see salary slips or resumes.
