Is MonoBox document archiving compliant with Swiss law?

Yes. Physical storage meets nDSG (Switzerland's revised Data Protection Act, in force since 2023) and Swiss OR (Code of Obligations) requirements for commercial record retention. We can provide a compliance certificate on request.

How long must business documents be retained in Switzerland?

Most commercial records (invoices, contracts, accounting books) must be retained for 10 years under Swiss OR Art. 958f. HR and payroll records have a 5-year minimum. MonoBox tracks retention deadlines automatically.

Can documents be scanned and digitized?

Yes. Optional scanning is available at CHF 0.50 per page. Digitized documents are stored encrypted in Switzerland and accessible via the MonoBox document portal. Physical originals remain in storage unless you request their return.

How are confidential business documents protected?

Documents are stored in sealed, labeled boxes in our secure Basel facility. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only. CCTV and alarm monitoring operates 24/7. Physical access logs are maintained.

What happens when the retention period expires?

MonoBox alerts you 90 days before a retention deadline. You choose to extend, digitize, return, or arrange certified shredding (CHF 9 per box). A destruction certificate is issued after shredding.
