The Security Assessment Policy serves as a foundational document for organizations operating in Switzerland, establishing standardized procedures for evaluating and maintaining security controls. This document becomes essential in light of Switzerland's strict regulatory environment, particularly the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/DSG) and related ordinances, as well as industry-specific requirements from regulators such as FINMA. The policy provides comprehensive guidance on conducting regular security assessments, managing risks, and maintaining compliance with Swiss and international standards. It outlines responsibilities, methodologies, and reporting requirements, while considering specific Swiss business context and legal framework. Organizations should implement this policy to establish a structured approach to security evaluation, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain robust security posture.
