Implementation of key recommendations: digital governance

Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication, Chancellery – Digital Transformation and ICT Steering Sector

Key facts

The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) conducted a follow-up audit at the Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) and the Digital Transformation and ICT Steering Sector (DTI) on the implementation of key recommendations issued between 2016 and 20224.

This audit examined the implementation of twelve recommendations. Nine have been fully implemented. They relate to digital governance, the federal architecture, operation security and resilience, consideration of the user perspective, and risk mitigation and management. One recommendation is still in the process of being implemented. It is directed at the FOITT and relates to the strengthening of security measures for operations support systems (OSS). Two recommendations are obsolete: one on external auditing of the public key infrastructure (PKI) at the FOITT, and one on enterprise architecture in the hardware management of IT in the DTI Sector.
