The local regulatory framework

EBH Security applies Switzerland's regulatory framework, built around the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the federal reference authority for cybersecurity, and the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP), in force since 2023, which governs the collection and processing of personal data under principles of transparency, data minimization and security by design. The Cybersecurity Ordinance complements this framework by setting out incident notification and risk management obligations applicable to critical infrastructure and organizations under NCSC oversight. This Swiss-specific regulatory architecture forms the structuring reference for any engagement carried out in this market.
