If you run a business, this checklist is for you. Read it today.
Most fines under the new data law do not happen because of hackers. They happen because the owner never paid attention. If your shop, school, or factory collects phone numbers, Aadhaar copies, or resumes — you are responsible. Not your staff. Not your vendor. You. This checklist is for founders who want to fix things before it is too late.
Say you run a small school. Your staff shares student Aadhaar copies on WhatsApp groups. That is a problem. Or you run a factory. Your HR keeps salary slips and PAN card copies in an open folder. Anyone can see them. As the founder, the law holds you responsible. You must assign someone to watch over this. You must check your vendors. You must set a monthly review. Small steps done by you make a big difference.
