The business owner’s blind spot—how your team’s shortcuts could be opening you up to lawsuits. By Vodacom Business
Under South Africa’s POPIA (Section 19), you are legally responsible for how personal data is stored, shared, and protected—regardless of who moved it or why. If your staff shares a client’s details via WhatsApp or uploads financial data to a personal Google Drive, you are the one liable for any misuse, breach, or data mishandling.
Innovation
Innovation is the process of introducing new ideas, methods, or products that create value. It is not just about having a good idea but about successfully implementing that idea to improve existing processes, create new solutions, or meet evolving customer needs. In essence, innovation is about doing something different to achieve a positive change.
At Aptitude Media, we are always on the hunt for “Simple solutions for big problems.” So, this section of the library will be dedicated to the innovators out there who would want to expose their ideas to our reader base.
If you have an innovative idea or product you would want to introduce to our users, feel free to let us know at info@aptitudemedia.co.za and we will be in contact.
High crime rates continue to impact our businesses, with trespassing and business premise intrusions leading to losses and damage very prevalent. Especially those “dark corners and areas” on our business sites provide criminals with opportunity to access our premises unseen. AceTechX, manufacturer of affordable rechargeable Lithium batteries, came up with the moveable, solar-powered “ScareCrow” to detect and make a cacophonic noise to detect and deter such intruders.
