Building trust to succeed
Trust in institutions is being eroded, and people are increasingly concerned about their personal and digital security and whether they can rely on the truthfulness of information. Companies also might feel threatened by technological transformation and the societal changes it brings.
That’s why we deliver an innovative combination of human ingenuity and technologies to support you all the way from strategy to execution and operation. At PwC, we’re a community of solvers — powered by technology — committed to helping you achieve resilience, security and compliance along the way.

Cyber Resilience and Defense
Prepare for and respond to a cyber incident
It’s often not a question of whether your systems and information will be attacked, but when. Are you prepared? Do you have the right partners at your side to respond quickly and decisively? The cybersecurity team in Switzerland can help you end-to-end: from identifying relevant cyber-threats, analysing whether your systems have been breached, testing your security posture to supporting you in an attack. Our incident response and forensics team, rated by Gartner and Forrester as the leading team in its field, helps you increase your resilience and emerge stronger if you do experience an incident.

Digital Trust and Cyber Culture
Increase stakeholder trust in data management
Identify your crown jewels – the data crucial to the survival and success of your business – and keep them safe. We help you proactively build trust in your data management practices by supporting you in establishing a security- and privacy-oriented culture across your organisation, implementing a robust data privacy program, obtaining recognised security or privacy certifications, and assessing the maturity of your critical third parties’ capabilities.
Cloud Security
Jump-start your cloud adoption with modern cloud security
Companies planning to move to the cloud and to implement a modern workplace must ensure that security and compliance are addressed right at the beginning of the project. Our experts help you identify vulnerabilities in your cloud architecture and governance and aid you in mitigating cyberthreats.

Modern Workplace implementation
Multinational energy company
The client, pressured by Covid-19, deployed Microsoft technology, focusing on the technical solution to facilitate conferencing from home. However, the project had to be stopped due to lack of regulatory compliance. To mitigate the situation, we reviewed the client's regulatory landscape for all Swiss entities. We provided a structured approach and multiple blueprints, which served as a basis for designing and documenting the organisational, technical and contractual measures required by law. The client is now ready to onboard multiple entities to M365 and provide a service organisation centrally.
Cyber Compliance Monitoring
Swiss Private Bank
A lack of tool integration prevented the automated processing of vulnerabilities on the more than 19,000 servers on the client’s side. We reduced the bank's attack surface by implementing governance and a robust end-to-end process for handling vulnerabilities. By adding automation along the process, we were able to significantly reduce operational costs and, furthermore, we helped to define clear IT governance, including roles and responsibilities.
Compromise Discovery
Service and Trade Organisation
PwC supported a client under attack in the process of incident response, leveraging PwC's proprietary content and threat intelligence expertise in providing indicators of compromise. We were able to identify and confirm suspicious activity across servers, workstations, and end-user computing environments. We succeeded in hunting for, containing and remediating threat actor activities at scale and in real time.
Phishing campaign
Global insurance company
At the request of the internal audit group of a global insurance company, we built a customised and tailored phishing campaign and red teaming exercise. Based on the successful penetration and compromise of the systems and networks, the organisation decided to re-evaluate their IT and security spending and priorities.
Red Teaming Exercise
Manufacturing company
The client wanted to perform a cybersecurity assessment in order to understand their current security posture and gain insights into the technical and process weaknesses that could be exploited to gain system access and exfiltrate business-critical data. To achieve this, a red teaming exercise was performed, without the knowledge of the IT department, with the aim of testing the detection and response capabilities of their IT and outsourced Security Operations Centre (SOC).
Maturity assessment of the security organisation
Swiss bank
The top management of the bank requested PwC to assess the maturity of its security organisation as well as its resilience against cyber risks. Moreover, the IT governance was evaluated against the NIST framework, the ISO standards for process maturity, and against Swiss regulations and PwC recommended practice. Based on the assessment, a gap analysis, a risk matrix and strategic recommendations for the management were created and presented to the board.
