Resumes, salary slips, Aadhaar copies — HR holds your riskiest data.
Think about this. Your HR folder has Aadhaar copies, salary slips, medical notes, and old resumes. If someone sees that without permission — you could be in trouble. The new DPDPA law says all this information is private. It must be handled carefully. Every day. Not just when there is a problem.
You hired 10 people last year. Their resumes are still in a WhatsApp group. Their Aadhaar copies are in an open folder. Their salary details are in an Excel file anyone can open. This is risky now. The DPDPA law says you must protect all this. You must store it safely. You must not share it without reason. If you do not, you can face a fine.
Lock all employee files — paper and digital — right now.
Stop sharing salary slips or Aadhaar copies on WhatsApp groups.
