When choosing business software, you first look at the features. But one question is becoming increasingly important for Swiss SMEs: where is your data stored? Accounting, payroll, client files — these are sensitive pieces of information. Here is why hosting in Switzerland changes the game.
Sensitive data, by nature
Business management software concentrates what a company holds most confidential: figures, salaries, client and supplier details, contracts. This data falls under the nFADP (new Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection) and, for your European clients, under the GDPR.
Local hosting: what it changes in practice
- Data sovereignty: your data remains physically in Switzerland, under Swiss law — not subject to foreign data access legislation.
- Compliance: the nFADP is respected natively, without complex legal arrangements.
- Trust: you can assure your clients that their information does not leave Switzerland.
- Continuity: local hosting with encrypted backups and high availability.
The watch-out with "global" solutions
An international solution can be excellent, but its servers — and therefore your data — are sometimes located elsewhere. Verifying the actual location of the data, not just the presence of a Swiss office, is one of the right questions to ask before signing.
The Neoffice approach
Neoffice hosts 100% in Switzerland, with encrypted backups and high availability. Better still: each client has their own dedicated server, without sharing — your data does not sit alongside another company's. All fully compliant with nFADP and GDPR.
