Cybersecurity is no longer optional
In 2025, 1 out of 3 Swiss SMEs suffered a cyberattack, according to figures from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The consequences? Business interruption, loss of client data, nLPD sanctions, and damage to reputation.
The good news: 80% of these attacks could have been avoided with the right basic habits.
The 6 essential habits
- MFA everywhere: email, ERP, banking, cloud — without exception.
- Tested external backups: Microsoft 365 does not back up your data as commonly believed.
- Continuous awareness: 90% of attacks start with an email.
- Automatic updates on all workstations and servers.
- Robust password policy + enterprise manager.
- Incident response plan tested every year.
nLPD: what changes for you
The new Federal Act on Data Protection (nLPD) requires all Swiss companies to document their data processing, notify the FDPIC of data breaches, and guarantee extended rights to the individuals concerned. Non-compliance can cost up to 250,000 CHF.
