1 May 2024 a Swiss IT service provider and two Swiss federal officesFDPIC: data protection infringements at IT service provider and two federal offices after ransomware attack SwitzerlandData processorsanonymised Other

Following the hacker attack on an IT service provider, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (Eidgenössischer Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragter, EDÖB) found that personal data of two federal offices had reached the service provider via support processes without the necessary data protection safeguards. The service provider subsequently retained the data in breach of data protection law and partly in breach of contract.

What organisations can take from it

Real data does not belong in service providers' support and test environments – clients must control disclosure and deletion.

Relevance to training and awareness

What organisations can take from it

Dominant network operators must assess infrastructure decisions for their consequences for competitors' access.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
