The Federal Council has set the date for the Information Security Act (ISG) to enter into force as January 1, 2024 (press release). This decision marks an important milestone in protecting information and strengthening cyber security in Switzerland. Find out more about the ISG in our specialist article (in German).
The ISG, which combines the central legal bases for the security of federal information, prescribes uniform minimum requirements for federal authorities and organizations based on international standards. It also extends the scope of protection to third parties, cantons and international partners entrusted with the processing of sensitive federal data.
The introduction of three new ordinances – the Information Security Ordinance (ISV), the Ordinance on Personal Security Checks (VPSP) and the Ordinance on the Operational Security Procedure (VBSV) – as well as a partial revision of another ordinance, will further specify the measures for ensuring information security. As part of the implementation of the ISG, federal offices are now obliged to establish an information security management system (ISMS) – a standard that stands for the systematic management and continuous improvement of information security.
As a solution provider in the area of Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Swiss GRC contributes with its GRC platform to making it easier for authorities and organizations to set up and operate an ISMS and thus ensure ISG/ISV compliance.
