Imagine it's Monday morning, and your most important sales channel – your website – is offline. Recent infrastructure outages at major Swiss providers have shown: physical security is not a given. In this guide, you will learn how to maintain digital sovereignty over your business.
The Risk
Hardware defects, cyber-attacks, or fires in the data center can affect anyone.
The Prevention
Geographically separated backups and automated cloud backups.
The Solution
Full-service migration to Curiaweb – we handle the entire move for you.
1. The Legal Duty: The New Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP)
Since September 2023, data availability is no longer a "nice-to-have," but a legal obligation. The nFADP holds Swiss companies accountable for taking appropriate technical measures to prevent data loss. A missing backup concept can have not only financial but also legal consequences in the event of a total failure of your host.
2. The Curiaweb Security Promise: Geographic Redundancy
Many hosts back up your data on the same server or at least in the same data center. At Curiaweb, we go a decisive step further for your security.
Physical Separation as Standard
Our daily backups are created on dedicated backup servers in a physically separate data center. Should one location be affected by a disaster (fire, power outage, flood), your data is safe at a second, independent location. Recovery is thus guaranteed within a few hours.
3. CodeGuard: Provider-Independent Insurance
Are you currently tied to another provider but don't want to sacrifice professional security? This is where CodeGuard comes in.

4. Full-Service Migration: We Move You!
