Data Protection & Compliance for Swiss SMEs

Practical guide, right‑sized controls for SME realities

Customer requirements, contractual pressure, and federal data protection law (nFADP), Swiss SMEs must prove that they manage personal data responsibly. This law also applies to AI-based data processing, regardless of the tools used. Yet specialist talent is scarce and “enterprise‑grade” tools rarely fit SME budgets. 

keyIT’s Audit Flash 360° is a fixed-price, structured compliance health check - designed specifically for SMEs.

You leave the session with a quantified compliance score, a plan for prioritized remedies, and clear next steps so you can protect data and win deals without costly overkill. 

Total cost: CHF 1'990.–
No hidden fees. No subscription. Just a clear, immediate view of where you stand.

Why SMEs Struggle with Data Protection

New Legal Obligations

The nFADP (new Federal Act on Data Protection) requires companies to document and justify how they handle personal data and applies to data processing based on AI.

Financial penalties

Non-compliance can result in fines of CHF 250,000.

Sector-specific Rules

The ISA (Information Security Act) introduces additional requirements for SMEs operating in critical infrastructure.

Shortage of Data Protection Experts

Profiles such as Data Protection Officers (DPOs), experts specialized in data privacy, are scarce and costly to recruit.

Limited Budgets

Most compliance approaches are built for large enterprises, and they are too costly, process-heavy, and resource-intensive for SMEs.

Commercial Impact

Larger customers increasingly require formal proof of compliance before signing contracts, which can postpone agreements or lead to missed opportunities.
