🧠 How can an entrepreneur protect a database? Advice from TechnoWomen at the Women in Business forum

At the Women in Business forum, the TechnoWomen team shared important and practical information: how an entrepreneur can protect their client database and minimize the risks of its loss or misuse.

🛡 We talked about legal and technical tools that will help secure the rights to the database and be prepared to defend yourself in court.

Here is our step-by-step scheme:

• Approve the database structure by order of the manager and collect signatures of all employees familiar with the document.
• Sign confidentiality agreements with each employee and approve the list of information that is considered confidential.
• Determine the level of access to the database for each employee.
• Estimate the client base in monetary terms and formalize it as an intangible asset of your company.
• Create backup copies and use technical means of protection.

📂 If after all these steps a leak occurs or the database is misused by competitors, you will be able to legally seek compensation for damages in court.

🔍 We strongly recommend that entrepreneurs discuss this scheme with their accountants and lawyers – and implement it in their practice.
