Most small businesses don't. Here's how to fix that in one hour.
Every day your business collects information. Customer phone numbers. Employee Aadhaar copies. Salary slips. Resumes. But do you know where all of it is sitting right now? Most small business owners don't. And that is a problem under the new DPDPA law. If you don't know where the information is, you can't protect it. Today we fix that — with a simple data map.
Think about your shop or office. You collect customer phone numbers on WhatsApp. You keep employee PAN cards and Aadhaar copies in a folder. You store resumes on your laptop. Your accountant has salary slips. All of this is information you are responsible for. A data map simply writes down four things. What information do you have? Where is it kept? Who looks after it? Why do you have it? That's it. Start with hiring and customer billing first.
Write down 3 main places where you store customer or staff information.
For each place, write who is in charge and why you have that information.
