Our Mission
More security for SMEs in the digital space
The Alliance Digital Security Switzerland association develops and implements initiatives to improve cyber security. We provide information and training for SMEs and their IT service providers and promote the implementation of practical security standards and tools
With our CyberSeal seal of approval, we strengthen the technical and organizational competence of SME IT service providers to guarantee adequate protection against cyber risks.
Our extensive partnerships with the federal government, associations, think tanks and companies promote the independence of the Alliance Digital Security Switzerland.
Strategic relevance of IT service providers
The cyber resilience of the Swiss economy is largely determined by IT service providers
80%
rely on the know-how of their IT service providers when it comes to cyber security
50%
of which blindly trust these IT service providers without knowing their security certification
The CyberSeal
The "CyberSeal" was included in the implementation plan of the "National Strategy for the Protection of Switzerland against Cyber Risks NCS 2.0" in September 2020. The CyberSeal recognizes IT service providers that guarantee their customers an adequate level of protection against cyber risks through appropriate technical and organizational measures. The seal of approval supports SMEs in their search for suitable external IT service providers.
