The tasks of the coordination unit for implementing the strategy are: • Leading an interdepartmental steering committee for coordinating implementation steps at the federal level. It is made up of representatives from the competent federal units. The departments designate their own representatives. • Accompanies, in cooperation with the consultation and coordination mechanism of the Swiss Security Network (KKM SVS), a cyber expert group consisting of representatives of the Confederation, cantons and communes, as well as infrastructure operators, the private sector and society. This specialist group promotes the consistency of information among partners, as well as the initiation and coordination of joint solutions to problems. • Prepares a detailed implementation plan with the responsible units at federal level. The implementation plan includes specifications for the respective areas as well as adjustments to resources and the legal basis. • Provides the Federal Council with an annual report on the status of implementation. • Ensures coordination among the relevant departments in implementation of the measures, provided these overlap with areas of legislation, particularly for existing and future legislative projects and revisions (FOGIS, Police Tasks Act, Intelligence Service Act, National Economic Supply Act, Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic Act). • Monitors the implementation of the national strategy for the protection of Switzerland against cyber risks, taking into account the Confederation's risk policy, the national strategy for the protection of critical infrastructure and the "Switzerland's risks" study (DDPS-FOCP), as well as the Federal Council's strategy for an information society in Switzerland (DETEC-OFCOM). • Examines with the responsible units the possibility of simplifying and streamlining the reporting paths and systems. • Examines possible synergies (e.g. in the technical and operational area) with the responsible units. • Coordinates the implementation of measures 7, 8 and 15 with the relevant offices and players and if necessary also provides support with expert data when measure 1 is being implemented. • After five years, examines the national strategy for the protection of Switzerland against cyber risks and its implementation plan with respect to the development of cyberspace and the measures taken. Systematic benchmarking will be established for this purpose. 42/42
