Regulatory Compliance and Data Privacy

Manage data security & privacy confidently to capitalise on the use of technology

Business and technical requirements have an impact on the evolution of projects. Legal & compliance departments translate the relevant regulatory and legal requirements into internal controls, which are then evaluated and communicated back to the business with policies and internal documents. These controls will influence technical requirements and user experience. Addressing compliance at an early stage is key. 

Key areas of focus:

  • CH E-DSG
  • GDPR
  • FINMA regulations
  • Critical infrastructure protection
  • Foreign regulations

Solid foundations for digital workplace design

Compliance with laws & regulations is the job of the legal department. This creates a challenge for the IT department when it comes to implementing systems.

Global companies are often uncertain as to whether the implementation of new systems complies with data privacy and security laws and regulations in all the countries and industries, they operate in.

Our team of experts with the relevant legal and IT experience collects the information necessary to understand your status quo and do a scenario and gap analysis to make sure that security and data privacy are properly addressed in your digital workplace transformation.

Throughout your digital workplace journey, we help you comply with the security and privacy standards, laws and regulations that govern your company.

Secure and compliant design based on an understanding of the relevant legal, business and technical requirements.

Accelerated implementation of your digital workplace project and reduction of your cloud implementation costs.

Companies that recognise and address these issues in the early stage set their transformation project for success.”

Attacks on information and communications technology (ICT) systems have significantly increased since the beginning of the pandemic. Swiss companies have also recently been more and more affected across all sectors.
