Strengthening existing cooperation by standardising processes and interfaces
and fostering the sharing of experience.
Pooling specific expertise (e.g. on IT forensics) and security-related
procurement.
Coordinating cooperation with national and international actors, especially on
the preservation of evidence and mutual legal assistance.
Reviewing the legal bases for cooperation and creating new legal bases as
necessary.

M13 Case overview
Description
An overview of events is an important prerequisite for assessing the threat
situation. It is also very important for prosecution. A case overview helps to
enhance efficiency and quality and increase the clear-up rate for intercantonal or
international clusters of cases.
There are three levels of case overview: events (e.g. reported incidents), official
reports of offences received, and the judicial case overview of ongoing
proceedings. A complete overview is achieved when the data from the various
levels can be correlated and evaluated in real time.
Background and need for action
Overview of measure
The establishment of the NCSC's national contact point for cyberthreats and the
cantonal police reporting points (e.g. cybercrimepolice.ch) has enabled significantly
more information about cyberincidents to be obtained from the public and
businesses. The Federal Statistical Office also publishes annual figures on the
development of digital crime.
The available data is already shared between the judicial and prosecution
authorities, as far as the law allows. PICSEL (Plateforme d'Information de la
Criminalité Sérielle En Ligne) provides a tool for the systematic and structured
recording of cases, making it possible to establish series and to identify new
phenomena and modi operandi. PICSEL is already up and running and is being
further developed by the Police Technology and IT (PTI) competence centre.
However, not all cantons are involved in it yet. The reason for this is the lack of a
common and uniform legal basis that would allow PICSEL to be used throughout
Switzerland. It needs to be clarified how a legal basis for an information sharing
platform can be created.
NEDIK compiles a monthly overview of the latest developments in cybersecurity,
and the NCSC's reporting office publishes case figures on the number of incidents
reported, broken down by phenomenon, on a weekly basis. The number of cases,
by phenomenon, is also reported annually in the police crime statistics.
However, the sharing and processing of case statistics do not yet take place in a
comprehensive and strategically managed way, which is why there is still no
national overview.
