Not exactly a huge surprise as Switzerland is not part of the EU. I bet they don’t follow India or Australia’s government policies either! Such savages.
Switzerland has no shortage of cyber professionals, so either hardened and encrypted devices, or no one traveling with direct access to confidential data via their devices, likely both, is the obvious situation here.
Hardened and encrypted devices don’t matter for shit when you’re forced to unlock them. Not having direct access to confidential data like you proposed is much better. But better not even have a way of accessing it that could be detected.
… What makes you think the US in its current state gives a single fuck about any convention, much less one named after the capital of another country? They’re exploring ways to circumvent their own constitution so they could send dissidents to CECOT for “terrorism” even if they’re citizens.
Is it? Obvious, I mean? To IT guys, sure. But I know from experience that IT guidelines are usually just another set of rules to be broken by users, most of the time on purpose or out of (willful) ignorance 😅
It doesn’t help that plenty of places still follow old IT guidelines that are bad, so they all get lumped together. E.g. change password every 45 days, can’t BT the last 10, must have 4 characters different, and we don’t have a password manager.

Yes, and the Vienna Convention is what outlines that Swiss or any other country’s diplomatic officials don’t have to do that with work devices.

Or even worse, password field doesn’t work with paste.
