Both the controller and the processor are obliged to keep a record of processing activities. For companies that employ fewer than 250 people and whose data processing involves only a low risk, the Federal Council is authorized to make exceptions under the future Swiss Data Protection Act. Since the fulfilment of many data protection obligations is hardly feasible without an overview of data processing in the company, a corresponding register should be a necessity for practically every organization.
