For software projects processing personal data, buyers should identify whether the vendor acts as a processor, what data is handled, where environments and backups are hosted, and which subcontractors or offshore teams can access production or personal data.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-border transfers require additional attention. The Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner explains that personal data may be transferred abroad only under the conditions set by the FADP, including whether the destination country provides an appropriate level of protection or whether other safeguards are required.<\/p>\n<p>AI does not remove these obligations. Swiss authorities have also clarified that the FADP applies to AI-supported data processing. If a development company uses coding assistants, hosted models or AI agents, ask whether source code, logs, prompts, customer data or production data can leave your approved environment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edoeb.admin.ch\/en\/cross-border-transfer-of-personal-data\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Swiss FDPIC guidance on cross-border personal-data transfers<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cybersecurity_and_regulated-sector_supplier_risk\"><\/span>Cybersecurity and regulated-sector supplier risk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For security-sensitive software, vendor assessment should cover more than certifications. Switzerland\u2019s National Cyber Strategy emphasizes the security of digital services and critical infrastructure, while the Federal Office for Cyber Security has highlighted software and supplier chains as an important source of cyber risk. Ask shortlisted providers how they manage privileged access, vulnerability disclosure and remediation, software dependencies, logging, incident escalation, backups, subcontractors and secure offboarding.<\/p>\n<p>Financial institutions need an even stricter supplier review. FINMA continues to treat outsourcing, ICT concentration and cyber risk as major operational-resilience concerns, especially where banks and insurers depend on cloud and other third-party providers. If the software supports a FINMA-supervised activity, buyers should identify which functions and data are outsourced, map important sub-outsourcers, define audit and incident rights, and confirm that continuity and exit arrangements are workable before production.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.admin.ch\/ncsc\/en\/home\/strategy.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Swiss National Cyber Strategy<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finma.ch\/en\/documentation\/dossier\/dossier-cyberrisiken\/cyberrisiken-und-outsourcing-2024\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FINMA guidance on cyber risks and outsourcing<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public-sector_software_procurement_in_Switzerland\"><\/span>Public-sector software procurement in Switzerland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Public-sector buyers should confirm the applicable procurement route before treating a vendor proposal as procurement-ready.

The Federal Chancellery\u2019s ICT Procurement Team supports bundled procurement of ICT products and services, and current federal data, AI and cloud-services tenders are published through Simap.
