What must Swiss companies do now?

Swiss companies must now check whether they process data in the USA. If this is the case, the legal basis must be observed, as processing data based on the Privacy Shield is no longer permitted. A data export to the USA is no longer secured. The basis for data processing on servers in the USA no longer applies, which offers processing on servers in Switzerland.

Nothing changes for Swiss Business Cloud customers. They benefit from the fact that their data is only processed in Switzerland. The geo-redundant data centers in Zurich and Bern are Tier IV equivalent, which guarantees 99.99% availability. They feature, among other things, redundant air conditioning, fire and smoke alarm systems, an uninterruptible power supply, permanent video surveillance and biometric access control. In addition, customers, suppliers and partners benefit from another international quality standard regarding the processing of data through the ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications.
