Switzerland's Information Security Act (ISA) and Cybersecurity Ordinance establish a cyberattack reporting duty for covered critical-infrastructure operators, in force since 1 April 2025. Re-check the current Swiss scope and exceptions, the authority's reporting instructions, and CRA guidance before maintaining a cross-border reporting plan. [Swiss authority's legal-basis page](https://www.bacs.admin.ch/en/legal-basis-for-the-reporting-obligation).\n\nThe Swiss recipient is the Federal Office for Cybersecurity, BACS; its English guidance uses National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The CRA instead addresses in-scope products made available on the EU market. Its manufacturer reporting obligations have applied since 11 September 2026. Swiss location does not remove a manufacturer from those product-market rules: Article 14(7) expressly provides a recipient-selection route for manufacturers without a main EU establishment.
