• New DPA from 1.9.2023
• The essentials all on one page
• Limited effort required from SMEs

Switzerland has less than a year to prepare for the new Data Protection Act (DPA), which will enter into force on September 1, 2023. But what needs to be done to be ready for this new set of rules?

The answer: At least for most SMEs, the effort will remain manageable, as long as they are already somewhat compliant with the current DPA. No one can fully comply with data protection, as we have repeatedly pointed out, but a company can already achieve a lot by putting the necessary structures and processes in place and promoting awareness for data protection.

In order to help SMEs, but also larger companies, VISCHER has now summarised what needs to be done to comply with the current and the revised DPA – all on a single page, short and to the point, without legalese. The handout is available free of charge, can be distributed and used freely, and can also be used as an internal data protection policy if a company does not yet have one in place.
