The training addresses the new Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP), which affects all legal entities that process personal data in Switzerland, as well as foreign companies that process data of Swiss domiciled individuals. Participants will learn about the new measures companies need to implement by 1 September 2023, and the potential impact these new measures will have on organisations, such as banks.

The online training is designed to educate financial professionals on the new Swiss framework for data protection, and explains core definitions and concepts, as well as the position of FINMA on the topic.

The course also highlights the main differences between nFADP and GDPR, before closing with the presentation of several business cases that require the application of nFADP and the corresponding ordinance.
