Driving a responsible digital space in Switzerland

Our digital responsibility extends beyond our company and customers. At SMG, we are dedicated to creating a more secure and responsible digital space in Switzerland. In 2024, we actively shared insights, best practices, and updates in over 20 LinkedIn posts and blog articles to raise awareness and contribute to a safer digital environment. Through our engagement with various associations and alliances, we contribute our expertise in safeguarding the data of our users to others in the technology sector (see Industry alliances to drive collective advances).

As sponsor-level members of the FIDO Alliance, we actively contribute to enhancing global security standards for digital services and reducing the world’s reliance on passwords. Our contributions include speaking at the FIDO Authenticate Conference in 2024, where we shared insights and participated in discussions on cutting-edge authentication technologies. Additionally, as a member of digitalswitzerland, we support the multi-industry initiative to drive digital innovation and strengthen cybersecurity across the country.

Our membership in the Swiss Association for Corporate Data Protection (VUD) and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) allows us to exchange knowledge and best practices with Swiss and international experts while gaining access to resources from the country’s leading law firms and industry specialists.

We also cooperate with law enforcement agencies to combat cybercrime in Switzerland, by performing research and preventive work with the Swiss Crime Prevention initiative. Collectively, these efforts aim to contribute to a safer and more responsible digital environment in Switzerland and beyond.
