Government

Public administrations must deliver essential services through disruption while meeting the strictest transparency and legal duties of any sector.

Practitioner led since 2014 Led by John Zeppos, Founder and Group Managing Director DRI Accredited training provider Three BCI Global Awards 16+ EU Horizon research projects Trusted to train 3 of the Big Four

The regulatory drivers

Federal bodies are directly bound by the Swiss Information Security Act, cantonal authorities must ensure equivalent protection when handling federal information, and public bodies operating critical services carry the 24 hour reporting duty to BACS. Suppliers to government inherit the obligations by contract.

The threat profile we plan against

  • Essential service duty. Citizens cannot take their business elsewhere; interruption of registries, payments or emergency coordination has immediate public impact.
  • Targeted attacks. Public bodies across Switzerland and Europe face sustained ransomware and DDoS campaigns, often politically timed.
  • Legacy and interdependency. Long-lived systems, shared cantonal and federal platforms, and suppliers embedded for decades.
  • Statutory obligations. The Swiss ISG applies directly to federal bodies and reaches cantonal services and suppliers through equivalence and contracts.

Proof in this sector
Frequently asked questions
Does the ISG apply to our cantonal administration?

Cantonal bodies must ensure an equivalent level of protection when they process classified federal information or access federal infrastructure, and many operate services that qualify as critical infrastructure under the reporting duty. We assess your position precisely, in German where preferred.

Can you exercise a crisis staff (Krisenstab)?

Yes. Leadership crisis exercises for public administrations, including our Operation HELVETIA decision exercise, are a core service, delivered discreetly and mapped to your existing emergency organisation.

How do you handle procurement constraints?

We are experienced with public tender requirements and provide the documentation, references and compliance evidence procurement offices need.
