Compliance assessment in Zurich

Updated: 2026-11

In short

International companies in Zurich often answer to Swiss and EU law at the same time. Our compliance assessment establishes which duties actually apply under the Swiss FADP, the GDPR, the EU AI Act, the European Accessibility Act and cyber reporting rules, rates the gaps and delivers a prioritised plan in English.

Your region: Zurich

Global teams in Zurich frequently inherit group policies written for EU entities while their Swiss company falls under the FADP. Selling to customers in the EU can trigger the GDPR, including the duty to appoint an EU representative, and consumer offerings may fall under the European Accessibility Act since June 2025.

Our assessment separates what group policy requires from what Swiss and EU law require, which avoids both gaps and unnecessary work. Our Zug base is about thirty minutes from Zurich.

How we deliver

Group policy versus law

We distinguish obligations imposed by headquarters from those imposed by Swiss or EU law, because they carry different consequences.

One set of documents

Records of processing, privacy notices and contracts are structured to satisfy the FADP and the GDPR together.

Deadlines drive priority

Gaps are ordered by duties already in force and upcoming dates such as the AI Act high-risk deadlines.

Why Innopulse

  • —Cross-regulation rather than law by law.
  • —Own compliance products for the AI Act and AML.
  • —About thirty minutes from Zug to Zurich.

FAQ

Does a Swiss company need an EU representative?

If it targets people in the EU with goods or services, or monitors their behaviour, and has no EU establishment, usually yes, subject to an exception for occasional low-risk processing.

Is the assessment legal advice?

No. We establish facts, map them to regulations and assess gaps. Where an individual legal opinion is needed, we flag it and work with a law firm on request.

Can the deliverables be in English?

Yes. All documents, including the action plan and board paper, can be delivered in English.
