IoT for Business

A controlled IoT project, from audit to ongoing maintenance.

Adopting IoT in a business environment is not something you improvise. Without a rigorous integration methodology, a suitable network infrastructure and security built in from the start, every connected device becomes a potential attack surface and a source of operational complexity. At 1SWISS1, we guide Swiss SMEs through a structured five-step approach — audit, prototyping, deployment, security hardening, ongoing management — for a reliable IoT adoption that is nFADP-compliant and causes zero disruption to your operations.

• OUR METHODOLOGY

How we integrate IoT into your business

We don't deliver a black box. Every business IoT project follows a documented process, with clear milestones and full transparency at every step. Here is how we work.

KEY FEATURES

IoT Maturity Audit

Integration and deployment with zero operational disruption

IoT security built in from the start

Ongoing management and proactive maintenance

nFADP compliance and data sovereignty

IoT Maturity Audit

Before installing anything, we assess your current IoT maturity level — existing network, information systems, equipment, regulatory constraints. This step determines feasibility, realistic budget and the roadmap best suited to your organisation.

Needs assessment and use case prioritisation

We identify the processes with the highest IoT potential in your organisation — equipment monitoring, energy management, access control, asset tracking — and prioritise them based on their real added value and technical feasibility. The result: you invest where the return is demonstrable.

Audit of existing network infrastructure and systems

We analyse your network (topology, bandwidth, segmentation), your information systems (ERP, CMMS, cloud) and your equipment to identify compatibility points and required adaptations — before any financial commitment.

Justified technology recommendation

4G/5G, NB-IoT/Cat-M, LoRaWAN — each technology has its own use cases, constraints and costs. We explain our choices in plain language, without jargon, with documented comparisons of the options selected and ruled out.

IoT roadmap with ROI projection

You receive a structured deployment plan: milestones, per-phase budgets, success indicators and return on investment projection. A decision-making tool, not a sales presentation.

Integration and deployment with zero operational disruption

Our role is to connect your equipment to your existing systems without disrupting your operations. We manage the entire technical chain — from sensor to dashboard — with real-condition testing before every production rollout.

IoT device configuration and installation

Sensors, gateways, actuators: every component is individually configured, tested in isolation, then validated in integration. No device goes into production without passing our validation protocol.

Private IoT network infrastructure deployment

LoRaWAN gateways, industrial Wi-Fi access points, industrial cellular SIMs: we build the IoT network suited to your environment, dimensioned to cover your entire site without blind spots.

Connection to your business tools via standardised APIs

Your IoT data integrates directly into your existing ERP (SAP, Odoo), CMMS and cloud platforms. No new data silo, no manual re-entry — your teams work in their usual tools, enriched with field data.

Real-condition validation before production go-live

Connectivity, data reliability, latency, behaviour under signal loss: every scenario is tested in your actual operational environment. We only switch to production once all validation criteria are met.

IoT security built in from the start

IoT security is not an option added after deployment — it is a design constraint. Every connected device creates a new attack surface on your network. Our security by design approach ensures your IoT equipment does not compromise the security of your broader infrastructure.

Network segmentation: IoT device isolation

Your IoT devices are placed in dedicated VLANs, separated from your office network and critical systems. If a device is compromised, the impact is contained within a controlled perimeter — it does not spread across your entire infrastructure.

Device authentication via certificates

Every IoT device is uniquely identified before being authorised to communicate on your network — using digital certificates and role-based access policies. No unauthorised device can connect.

End-to-end communication encryption

All data exchanged between your devices and your platforms is encrypted in transit — using MQTT/TLS and HTTPS protocols adapted to the bandwidth and power constraints of IoT environments.

Real-time anomaly detection

Our network monitoring tools detect behavioural anomalies — unusual traffic, unauthorised access attempts, sensor failures — and trigger immediate alerts to your teams or ours.

Ongoing management and proactive maintenance

Deployment is not the end of our mission — it is the beginning. We provide supervision and maintenance of your IoT fleet over the long term, with full visibility and a proactive rather than reactive approach.

Centralised monitoring of your IoT fleet

Sensor status, battery level, signal quality, data integrity: everything is continuously monitored from a centralised platform. You have access to a real-time health dashboard for your entire IoT fleet.

Preventive maintenance before failure occurs

Our monitoring algorithms identify devices showing signs of degradation before an actual failure occurs. We intervene in a planned manner — not as an emergency — reducing intervention costs and service interruptions.

Lifecycle management and inventory

Up-to-date inventory, configuration management, replacement planning based on device lifespan and evolving needs: we manage your IoT fleet as a strategic asset, not a collection of scattered devices.

nFADP compliance and data sovereignty

Connected devices generate operational data that falls within the scope of Switzerland's new Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP). Non-compliance means legal risk and loss of client trust. We integrate nFADP and GDPR requirements from the audit phase onwards.

nFADP-compliant configuration from the outset

Data minimisation, defined purpose, controlled retention periods, documented consent: every IoT data flow is configured to meet Swiss legal obligations — without compromising the operational value of the data.

Hosting in Switzerland or Europe

We select IoT management platforms and storage solutions hosted on Swiss or European soil — to guarantee the sovereignty of your operational data and reassure your clients, partners and shareholders.

Access logging and full traceability

Every data flow, every access, every modification is logged and documented — ready to meet the requirements of internal or regulatory audits at any time.

• FAQ

Questions about IoT for Business

Do we need in-house technical expertise to work with you?

No. Our role is precisely to handle the technical complexity so your teams can focus on their core business. We work with your IT manager for network access, and with your operational teams to understand the processes to optimise. Everything else is handled by our engineers.

How do you handle IoT security on equipment that is already deployed?

We start with a security audit of your existing fleet — identifying unauthenticated devices, outdated firmware and unencrypted traffic. We then define a prioritised remediation plan, deployed in phases to avoid any disruption to your operations.

What happens if a device fails after deployment?

Under our IoT management contracts, our monitoring tools detect the failure before you even notice it — or as quickly as possible afterwards. We handle diagnosis, device replacement and reconfiguration. You receive an incident report after every intervention.

Does the nFADP apply to data collected by industrial sensors?

As soon as your sensors collect data that can be linked — directly or indirectly — to natural persons, such as badge scans, presence detection or user behaviour, the nFADP applies. We help you qualify your data flows and put the necessary technical and organisational measures in place.

Does 1SWISS1 operate only in Geneva or across the whole of Switzerland?

We operate throughout French-speaking Switzerland and beyond. Our Geneva base allows us to respond quickly on the ground in the region — but we deploy and manage IoT projects across the entire Swiss territory.
