Separate FADP engineering controls from legal conclusions.
The revised FADP is the Swiss starting point; GDPR may also matter depending on the facts. The project map records the actual processing and routes applicability and wording to the responsible adviser.
Record data categories, people, purposes, sources, systems, roles, access, vendors, locations, transfers, retention, backups, deletion, and any automated or AI-assisted use.
Minimize collection
Classify sensitive and high-impact processing
Keep a current vendor record
MODULE 02
Control decisions
Assign notices, user requests, correction/deletion paths, permissions, processor instructions, transfer safeguards, incident escalation, logging, and security controls to named owners.
FADP and GDPR are not interchangeable labels
English authority translations may not have legal force
Sector rules require separate qualification
MODULE 03
Evidence and review
Engineering validates the approved behavior; the client/adviser approves legal interpretation. Recheck sources, vendors, and the release facts before claiming readiness.
No compliance badge
No silent new data use
Residual risk has an owner
Measure. Decide. Implement. Verify.
Make every Switzerland release status traceable to evidence.
