E-Collaboration with «SwissTrustRoom»
Exchange information and sign documents electronically with the highly secure SwissTrustRoom (STR) portal.
The Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics (FOBL), as the central federal procurement office, has concluded a framework agreement with Swisscom (Switzerland) Ltd for the use of SwissTrustRoom (STR) by the central and decentralised Federal Administration.
SwissTrustRoom ensures the secure exchange of sensitive information, integrity, convenience and maximum security in the digital world. It also includes a signature service, so contract documents can easily be signed electronically in accordance with Swiss and EU law without any media discontinuity. Thanks to a framework agreement with preferential conditions for the entire Confederation, all interested parties in the central and decentralised Federal Administration can now benefit from a quick and easy procedure to use their own SwissTrustRoom in the same way as the other services in the Digital transformation and ICT steering (DTI) project management environment.
It is the responsibility of the office to decide for which purposes the STR is to be used. Based on this, it will determine whether and what ICT security documentation needs to be created.
