About MOUNT10 AG
Swiss expert for data security
More than twenty years of experience make MOUNT10 AG an expert and pioneer in data security. The location of the data center is crucial for success: Swiss Fort Knox is considered the most secure data center in Europe.
Data Security and Digital Independence
Data protection today goes far beyond preventing unauthorised access. In the face of increasing cyber threats, international surveillance programmes, and increasingly powerful AI technologies, maintaining control over your own data and ensuring its independent availability are becoming more important than ever.
Artificial intelligence is opening up new possibilities, including in IT security. It can help identify previously difficult-to-detect security vulnerabilities more quickly. However, these same capabilities can also benefit cybercriminals, enabling them to identify and exploit vulnerabilities more rapidly and precisely. This puts increasing pressure on businesses to apply security patches promptly, keep their systems up to date, and respond to emerging threats.
A recent example is a vulnerability in PHP discovered in October 2026 with the help of AI. This case highlights the importance of addressing security vulnerabilities promptly and continuously reviewing your IT infrastructure.
For more than 20 years, MOUNT10 has consistently maintained high security standards and focused on storing data in Switzerland. Our approach is built on the following principles:
- Data storage in Switzerland: Secure storage in our SWISS FORT KNOX data centre in the Swiss Alps.
- Encryption: Protecting sensitive data using modern encryption technologies.
- Data control: Security mechanisms designed to prevent unauthorised access.
- Redundant data storage: Additional protection through geographically separate backup locations.
- Swiss data protection: Data storage in accordance with applicable Swiss data protection regulations.
Your Data Remains Yours
What happens when systems fail, security vulnerabilities are exploited, or access to business-critical data suddenly becomes unavailable?
An independent backup strategy helps businesses remain operational in such situations. MOUNT10’s backup solutions store data in Switzerland, separately from the original infrastructure. In an emergency, this data can be restored, subject to the technical requirements of the respective solution.
Because true data security means identifying risks early, consistently protecting systems, and maintaining control over your own data – even in an emergency.
Safe yet simple
Security is writen large at MOUNT10, its measures complex and comprehensive. This is the job of the team at MOUNT10. Our customers’ experience shows that our products are very easy to use and, should there be any questions, our support team is quick to provide assistance.

When handling data, MOUNT10 strictly adheres to the legal provisions set down by Swiss law. The company meets all of the requirements necessary for the handling of sensitive data.
What does data sovereignty mean for businesses?
Data sovereignty means maintaining control over your own data. This includes secure storage, protection against unauthorised access, and the ability to restore data independently of the original IT infrastructure when needed.
Why is independent data backup important?
Technical failures, cyberattacks, or restricted access rights can suddenly make business-critical data unavailable. Independent data backups help reduce these risks and enable data recovery in an emergency.
How is artificial intelligence changing the cybersecurity threat landscape?
Artificial intelligence creates new opportunities to identify and analyse security vulnerabilities more quickly. This is fundamentally a positive development for cybersecurity. However, attackers can also use these technologies to discover vulnerabilities faster and exploit them more effectively. Businesses must therefore monitor their systems closely, apply security updates promptly, and regularly review their protective measures.
Why are timely security updates so important?
Once a security vulnerability becomes known, the window for responding safely can be short. Regular updates help close known vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of successful attacks. Keeping IT systems up to date and maintaining a reliable backup strategy go hand in hand: updates protect systems, while backups enable the recovery of lost or damaged data.
What are the benefits of backing up data in Switzerland?
Storing backup data in Switzerland provides a clear legal framework and allows data to be stored under Swiss data protection law, provided the applicable legal requirements are met. Through SWISS FORT KNOX, MOUNT10 operates a highly secure data centre in the Swiss Alps.
Is my data protected against unauthorised access at MOUNT10?
MOUNT10 employs various security measures, including encryption, controlled access rights, and a physically secured data centre. The specific protection measures depend on the backup solution selected.
Can data be restored if the original IT infrastructure fails?
Yes. Depending on the backup solution and the preparations in place, backed-up data can be restored independently of the original infrastructure. A suitable backup strategy and regular recovery tests are essential.
Why is having a backup alone not enough?
A backup only provides reliable protection if the data can actually be restored when needed. Regular checks, recovery tests, and a well-designed backup strategy are therefore essential.
