Safe and savvy: we help you work around the risks and proactively combat cyberattacks and threats.
In PwC’s latest CEO survey, 93% of Swiss business leaders express concern about cyberthreats – and 43% (versus 26% in the previous year’s survey) see cyber-risks as the biggest threat to their company’s growth prospects. At the same time, efforts to counter the cyber threats are perceived to be lagging, with 46% of Swiss CEOs believing their organisation needs to take more action on cybersecurity and data protection.
Our aim is to help companies bridge this gap – not just by making up lost ground, but by transforming the expense of cybersecurity and privacy into an investment in what is potentially their most precious asset: trust.
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.
We support your efforts to build trust and protect your business – not just to ward off and respond to actual cyber attacks, but also to give you the confidence to take the initiative, transform and thrive in an uncertain but highly rewarding environment. With a mastery of the technology of cybersecurity and a deep understanding of business, we help you make security the very foundation of your success.
Our clients value the way we combine people, technology and business savvy to support you all the way from strategy to execution and operation – helping you achieve resilience, security and compliance along the way.

Why managing software vulnerabilities is business critical – and how to do it efficiently and effectively
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.
Our incident response and recovery team has a broad range of capabilities to help you through the Prepare, Respond and Recover phases of a cyber crisis or incident. It is ranked by leading analysts as among the world’s elite in its field.
The Cyber Resilience Lifecycle will help you manage all your cybersecurity-related activities and controls from one central place – efficiently and reliably. We’ll show you how to leverage existing processes such as risk management, business and IT continuity management as well as your cyber response capabilities in order to prepare your organisation for upcoming threats and vulnerabilities.
We provide you with strategic and technical insights tailored to your business so that you can optimise your defensive posture towards the cyber-threats relevant to you. PwC Switzerland provides global and local expertise on how to power your security operations and enhance your strategic decision-making.
Prepare early for cyberattacks. We use our Cybersecurity Resilience Framework to assess the status quo, test your efficiency and communication strategies, and screen the measures you apply and the way you coordinate your protection, detection and reaction efforts. We will enact breach scenarios as if they were actually taking place. The assessment will include specific instructions and training to make sure that you’re prepared for emergencies.
PwC’s Game of Threats™ provides a realistic cyber-attack simulation – and calls on you to take action. Include your management and decision-makers in an awareness-building session to educate them about the latest cyber-threats, attacks and countermeasures.
The days of perimeter security are over. Identities and access management as well as compliance monitoring are now key to creating trust. We help you build a secure digital business around people and technology by implementing robust governance, processes and tooling to enable an effective monitoring and management of your identities.
Get to know your weaknesses and resist breaches successfully. We provide vulnerability management as a service. This involves operating the scanning solution for you (ensuring the availability and functionality of the scanning solution). We carry out regular vulnerability scans, taking operational responsibility for implementing the vulnerability management process.
Identity and access management (IAM) is a crucial protective component of cybersecurity. We help you assess your current IAM setup from the perspective of tools, technology, implementation, governance and processes, and then plan and implement the desired target state and IAM service strategy.
Baseline security comes from having transparency regarding how your systems are set up and whether they are operated according to internal security standards. We help you implement and operate a system to monitor critical files and configuration along the asset lifecycle, all the way from deployment to decommissioning.
Our teams of local and global experts help you create an end-to-end roadmap for your cybersecurity journey. Together, we find ways of allocating your cybersecurity investments in a manner which is risk and value based and which captures the benefits of a secure digital transformation. We are there as a trusted partner to help you weave security into the fabric of your product, customer and growth strategy.
Comply with the law and stay on top of your data as you navigate the cloud. We analyse your data and processes and point out your options for data security and protection, access controls and identifying breaches.
The true value of technology lies in the way people use it. Digital tools can connect and support employees, but to get your digital workplace right you have to go beyond the technology to also consider the regulatory, compliance and data privacy requirements.
Security Operation: We help you define and implement a target operating model (TOM) for IT and security to comply with the relevant data protection, cybersecurity and outsourcing regulation.

We’ll use our interactive online platform MyDPO to help you monitor and demonstrate GDPR compliance.
Many organisations face a dual challenge: meeting the growing cost of security and catching up with a lack of investment as well as attracting and retaining the right security talent. Security services managed by PwC Switzerland help you address both aspects, giving you access to the right people and solutions whenever you need them at a plannable and manageable cost.
Our MCD service prevents breaches by providing 24/7 advanced cyber defence against both commodity threats as well as sophisticated, targeted attacks across your IT environment.
