Swiss FADP Data
Protection Adviser
A Swiss privacy adviser who helps companies understand and maintain compliance with the Federal Act on Data Protection, including documentation, risk support, and FDPIC liaison.
Practical Swiss privacy leadership
The Swiss FADP adviser service is for organisations that need ongoing privacy guidance without necessarily appointing a formal representative or internal officer.
We help leadership teams interpret the FADP, maintain Privacy Documentation, and coordinate Employee Privacy Training to respond proportionately to Swiss regulatory expectations.
Adviser vs representative
A representative is a local contact under Article 14. An adviser helps you build and maintain a credible Swiss compliance programme. Many organisations need one or both depending on structure and risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Swiss FADP adviser services.
Is a Swiss adviser mandatory?
Not for every organisation, but appointing one can provide strategic advantages under the FADP.
Can the adviser also be our Article 14 representative?
These are different roles. We assess what combination your organisation needs.
Does GDPR compliance cover the FADP?
It helps, but Swiss law has distinct requirements that still need local attention.
