Zurich, Switzerland, November 21, 2025 – Open Systems, a leading provider of secure connectivity and SASE solutions, announced that it has been awarded the Swiss Made Software label. This designation recognizes the company’s commitment to engineering excellence, data protection, and the high standards associated with Swiss software development.

The Swiss Made Software label is a trusted marker of quality in the European technology landscape. It signifies that a substantial part of software development and operations takes place in Switzerland, reinforcing a level of transparency, reliability, and craftsmanship that aligns closely with the needs of security-conscious organizations.

Strengthening Trust in an Era of Regulatory Pressure

The recognition comes at a time when European organizations face increasing pressure to meet stringent cybersecurity and compliance requirements. Earlier this year, Open Systems released findings from a Europe-wide survey showing that 82% of IT leaders expect regulatory frameworks such as NIS2, DORA, or GDPR to materially influence their infrastructure and security strategies. For many, the complexity of meeting these requirements has become a barrier to modernization and cloud adoption.

“The Swiss Made Software label underlines what our customers already rely on us for: secure connectivity and SASE services engineered and operated in Switzerland, with uncompromising standards for trust and quality,” said Stefan Keller, Chief Product Officer at Open Systems. “As regulatory expectations continue to rise across Europe, this label reinforces our commitment to delivering services that help organizations meet stringent compliance, sovereignty, and security requirements.”

A Label Built on Transparency and Rigorous Criteria

The Swiss Made Software label is awarded based on clear and verifiable criteria. These include:

• At least 60% of production costs must be incurred in Switzerland
• Core development and engineering must take place in Switzerland
• Companies must commit to the label’s principles of transparency, quality, and responsible software production

For Open Systems, the label validates decades of investment in Swiss-based engineering and 24×7 operations, supported by teams in Zurich and across Switzerland. It also strengthens the company’s global positioning as an alternative to opaque or offshore-operated security solutions.

A Milestone That Supports Long-Term Strategy

The designation underscores the company’s strategic focus on delivering SASE and secure connectivity services that are not only high-quality and globally scalable, but also compliant with European regulatory expectations and grounded in Swiss values of precision, reliability, and accountability.

“Security today is about trust, and trust requires transparency,” Keller added. “The Swiss Made Software label helps us communicate that clearly to customers, partners, and regulators – especially as compliance becomes a defining factor in IT decision-making.”
