Data secu\u00adri\u00adty and data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion are play\u00ading an increas\u00ading\u00adly impor\u00adtant role. A cyber attack or data breach usu\u00adal\u00adly has seri\u00adous consequences.<\/strong><\/p>

It is there\u00adfore more impor\u00adtant than ever to pro\u00adtect, back up and store data secure\u00adly. On 1 Sep\u00adtem\u00adber 2023<\/em> the new Swiss Data Pro\u00adtec\u00adtion Act<\/em> (nDSG) came into force, which also result\u00aded in adjust\u00adments to data stor\u00adage. Bro\u00adker\u00adStar and Bro\u00adker\u00adWeb are pre\u00adpared for this.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Data secu\u00adri\u00adty<\/strong> deals with the gen\u00ader\u00adal pro\u00adtec\u00adtion of data and doc\u00adu\u00adments. Thus, secu\u00adri\u00adty in any form falls under the term data secu\u00adri\u00adty, as does per\u00adson\u00adal data. The Data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion<\/strong> on the oth\u00ader hand, relates exclu\u00adsive\u00adly to the stor\u00adage and use of per\u00adson\u00adal data, at least as far as the legal pro\u00advi\u00adsions are concerned.<\/p>

Data secu\u00adri\u00adty and data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion there\u00adfore pur\u00adsue the goal of secur\u00ading data of all kinds against threats, manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion, unau\u00adtho\u00adrised access or knowl\u00adedge. Ana\u00adlogue and dig\u00adi\u00adtal mea\u00adsures can be tak\u00aden to achieve this. First of all, there are tech\u00adni\u00adcal and organ\u00adi\u00adsa\u00adtion\u00adal mea\u00adsures, which are also used in the con\u00adtext of data protection.<\/p>

In the dig\u00adi\u00adtal sec\u00adtor, the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion of IT secu\u00adri\u00adty solu\u00adtions in the form of virus scan\u00adners, fire\u00adwalls etc. con\u00adtributes to the secu\u00adri\u00adty of data. Phys\u00adi\u00adcal mea\u00adsures, on the oth\u00ader hand, include access con\u00adtrols, fire\u00adproof fil\u00ading cab\u00adi\u00adnets or safes for sen\u00adsi\u00adtive and con\u00adfi\u00adden\u00adtial doc\u00adu\u00adments. Data back\u00adups, such as the cre\u00adation of back\u00adup copies on a sep\u00ada\u00adrate stor\u00adage medi\u00adum, are also essen\u00adtial. A sol\u00adid net\u00adwork infra\u00adstruc\u00adture and reg\u00adu\u00adlar updates are the basic pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsites for achiev\u00ading data secu\u00adri\u00adty goals. Data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion, on the oth\u00ader hand, is essen\u00adtial\u00adly about how per\u00adson\u00adal data is used and stored.<\/p>

It is there\u00adfore impor\u00adtant to take organ\u00adi\u00adsa\u00adtion\u00adal and per\u00adson\u00adnel pol\u00adi\u00adcy pre\u00adcau\u00adtions to ensure a high stan\u00addard of secu\u00adri\u00adty with\u00adin the com\u00adpa\u00adny. Employ\u00adee train\u00ading and fur\u00adther edu\u00adca\u00adtion, as well as the deploy\u00adment of spe\u00adcial\u00adists such as IT secu\u00adri\u00adty offi\u00adcers and data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion offi\u00adcers, con\u00adtribute to data secu\u00adri\u00adty and are some\u00adtimes manda\u00adto\u00adry for com\u00adpli\u00adance rea\u00adsons. IT secu\u00adri\u00adty and data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion offi\u00adcers are ded\u00adi\u00adcat\u00aded to analysing poten\u00adtial secu\u00adri\u00adty gaps in your com\u00adpa\u00adny and cre\u00adat\u00ading appro\u00adpri\u00adate mea\u00adsures to achieve the data secu\u00adri\u00adty objective.<\/p>

The terms are there\u00adfore not only close\u00adly linked, but also influ\u00adence each oth\u00ader. For exam\u00adple, com\u00adplete data secu\u00adri\u00adty can\u00adnot be achieved with\u00adout data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion mea\u00adsures, as oth\u00ader\u00adwise per\u00adson\u00adal data may not be ade\u00adquate\u00adly pro\u00adtect\u00aded. On the oth\u00ader hand, com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive data secu\u00adri\u00adty mea\u00adsures are a pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsite for effec\u00adtive data pro\u00adtec\u00adtion in accor\u00addance with legal require\u00adments and best practice.<\/p>

The fol\u00adlow\u00ading aspects of the new Data Pro\u00adtec\u00adtion Act are important:<\/strong><\/p>
