Praxis-Datenschutz Schweiz

Where does your practice stand on patient-data protection today?

For many practices, the honest answer is: nobody knows for sure. I build, host and maintain websites for Swiss medical practices under the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), sites that answer this question from the very first line of code.

Who is behind this

Portrait of Marco Covi

Marco Covi

I build and maintain websites for Swiss medical practices entirely on Swiss infrastructure (data hosted in Switzerland, no US hosting). This very website you are reading runs on exactly these systems.

One accountable person handles your site from the first conversation through every later change. Not a ticket queue, not a rotating agency team.

What I do

I build and run the website your practice relies on every day, and I keep it compliant with Swiss data-protection law as that law evolves. Build, hosting, and ongoing maintenance are one continuous responsibility. Not a project that ends at handover.

Your practice e-mails run over Swiss servers too: website, data and communication all stay in the country.

How it works

Here's how we proceed

  1. Initial reviewYou have already received a concrete result from it.
  2. Practice analysis (CHF 490)the complete, structured baseline assessment of your entire practice website.
  3. Findings reportprioritised recommendations, within 3 working days of payment receipt.

Why this matters now

“In our review of Swiss medical-practice websites to date, more than 90% showed non-compliant data transmission or a missing consent element.”

Swiss data protection law puts transparency first: under the duty to inform (Art. 19 FADP), patients must be able to understand which of their data your practice processes and where it goes, on paper as much as online. The FDPIC has set this out in several documents: for patient forms in its fact sheet of 30 September 2025 („eine Anpassung der Formulare wo nötig“), and for what happens the moment someone merely visits your website, such as tracking, cookies or tag managers, in its fact sheet on online tracking (31 March 2026) and its guidance on cookies (6 October 2025). Both lead to the same question: is it visible and verifiable on your website what happens to your visitors' data? That is exactly where I come in.
