Swiss nDSG fines target responsible individuals with criminal liability up to CHF 250,000. GDPR fines reached €4.5B in 2023 alone. Most DACH enterprises have never conducted a formal data protection impact assessment. The gap between what you're doing and what the law requires is not theoretical — it is a matter of when, not if.
APEX Privacy Intelligence gives your compliance team a continuous, AI-powered baseline across GDPR, Swiss nDSG, and the EU AI Act's data governance obligations — with article-specific gaps, automated DPIA generation, and a remediation roadmap built for DACH legal teams.
Most DACH enterprises believe they are GDPR-compliant. Most are not. These are the three gaps regulators find first.
Processing personal data without documented lawful basis under GDPR Art. 6 or nDSG Art. 31 is the most-cited violation in Swiss FDPIC investigations. Verbal consent policies, missing ROPA entries, and undocumented legitimate interest balancing tests create immediate enforcement exposure.
GDPR Art. 35 and nDSG Art. 22 mandate Data Protection Impact Assessments before high-risk processing — including AI-assisted decisions, large-scale profiling, and biometric data. Companies routinely skip this for new CRM implementations, marketing automation, and HR analytics.
CH↔EU data transfers require specific adequacy mechanisms. Switzerland is on the EU adequate countries list, but transfers outside the EEA without Standard Contractual Clauses or binding corporate rules violate both GDPR Ch. V and nDSG Art. 16-17 — triggering mandatory FDPIC notification.
PRV-001 analyses your processing activities, sector obligations, and geographic scope against the complete GDPR and nDSG regulatory framework — producing article-specific gap assessments and automated remediation playbooks your legal team can implement immediately.
Automated analysis of each processing activity against all six GDPR Art. 6 lawful bases and nDSG Art. 31 equivalents. Identifies missing documentation and legitimate interest gaps.

HR analytics, biometric access control, workforce monitoring, and AI-assisted recruitment all trigger heightened GDPR and nDSG obligations. PRV-001 identifies which employee processing activities require DPIAs, works council consultation under German BetrVG, and explicit consent documentation.
Identify unlawful consent mechanisms, missing ROPA entries for CRM data, and email marketing lists that cannot demonstrate a valid lawful basis. Maps your current consent architecture against GDPR Art. 6-7 and nDSG Art. 31 standards with remediation scripts for your CRM platform.
Swiss financial institutions face overlapping FINMA data governance guidelines, nDSG obligations, and GDPR cross-border transfer requirements when processing EU client data. PRV-001 maps the intersection and identifies conflicts between FINMA regulatory expectations and EU data protection law.
Companies deploying AI systems in the EU must comply with EU AI Act Art. 10 training data requirements, Art. 13 transparency documentation, and Art. 22 human oversight provisions. PRV-001 assesses your AI deployment's data governance posture before the conformity assessment deadline.

nDSG applies to any company that processes personal data of Swiss residents, regardless of where the company is domiciled. In force since September 2023, it aligns closely with GDPR but has distinct requirements including mandatory breach notification to the FDPIC and data protection impact assessments for high-risk processing.
GDPR applies to EU residents' data; nDSG applies to Swiss residents' data. Key differences: nDSG requires a Swiss representative for foreign processors, has different breach notification timelines, and imposes criminal liability — not administrative fines — on responsible individuals up to CHF 250,000 per violation.
The EU AI Act imposes data governance requirements on AI system providers and deployers, including data quality standards (Art. 10), transparency obligations (Art. 13), and human oversight requirements (Art. 14). High-risk AI systems require conformity assessments that include data protection impact analysis.
A DPIA (GDPR Art. 35 / nDSG Art. 22) is mandatory before high-risk processing activities: large-scale systematic monitoring, processing of sensitive data categories, or automated decision-making with significant effects. APEX Privacy Intelligence automates DPIA documentation and identifies when one is required.
