Data Protection & Security

Data protection can be a competitive advantage. We support you in complying with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and accompany you in the event of a cyber attack.

You want the certainty that your IT systems, your products and your organisation comply with the regulations of data protection legislation nationally and internationally, not only for Switzerland but also for the entire EU market?

The MME data protection team offers you a half-day, tried and tested data protection and cyber security workshop at a fixed price. The focus of such a workshop includes topics such as: Overview of the regulatory challenges (new CH data protection law), focused, customised risk analysis, GAP analysis, cyber risk and measures and step plan.

Have you been the victim of a cyber attack and lost data, perhaps even cryptocurrencies?

In the event of a cyber risk incident or a data breach, our Cyber Risk Response Team will accompany you immediately to keep a cool head, comply with legal obligations, react pragmatically and in a risk-oriented manner and thus limit the damage. For prevention, we offer you a solid building block in your preventive cyber risk emergency concept (Incident Response Retainer).

We award the ePrivacy data protection seal of approval after a technical and legal audit. The seal of approval confirms compliance with the corresponding catalogue of criteria of ePrivacyseal GmbH, which includes the requirements of German, European and Swiss data protection law.

We are happy to provide you with data protection specialists in an introductory phase or permanently as external data protection officers or as Swiss representatives for companies abroad.
