Cloud Solutions
Driving growth with a secure Microsoft Cloud journey, powered by Zero Trust and GenAI security.
Cloud adoption is no longer optional — it is the foundation of modern business agility, productivity, and competitive advantage. But accelerating your cloud journey without the right security foundation introduces risk at every layer.
Swiss Expert Group helps organisations across Switzerland succeed in the cloud. Led by One Step Beyond — a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work and Security since 2017 — and supported by the cybersecurity expertise of e-Xpert Solutions and eb-Qual, we combine cloud implementation excellence with enterprise-grade security to deliver a cloud journey that is faster, smarter, and inherently secure.
Our Cloud Solution Capabilities :
Modern Work — Microsoft 365 & Copilot
We help organisations transform how their teams work by deploying and optimising Microsoft 365 tools, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Our Modern Work services streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and foster seamless collaboration — all secured with robust compliance and data protection controls.
Customer Journey — Microsoft Dynamics 365 & GenAI
We help organisations enhance customer engagement and drive business growth using Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, combined with GenAI capabilities for predictive analytics, workflow automation, and omnichannel customer interactions. Every implementation is secured to protect sensitive customer data across all touchpoints.
App Modernization, Data & GenAI — Microsoft Power Platform
We accelerate application modernisation using Microsoft Power Platform’s low-code tools, enabling faster development cycles and scalable cloud-powered applications. We integrate data engineering and GenAI capabilities to deliver actionable insights and intelligent automation — built on a foundation of enterprise-grade security and compliance.
Cloud Security — Zero Trust & Microsoft Security
Security is embedded at every layer of our cloud delivery. We implement Zero Trust Architecture across Microsoft cloud environments, applying continuous verification, least-privilege access, and policy-driven controls to protect identities, endpoints, data, and applications. Our cloud security practice covers Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, Conditional Access, and cloud security posture management — ensuring your cloud environment meets the compliance requirements applicable to Swiss organisations, including FINMA, nLPD, and ISO 27001.
Microsoft 365 Data Governance & Compliance — AvePoint
Managing, governing, and protecting data across Microsoft 365 environments requires dedicated tooling beyond what Microsoft provides natively. We deploy AvePoint solutions to deliver advanced data governance, backup and recovery, migration management, and compliance reporting across Microsoft 365 and SharePoint — ensuring your data is protected, auditable, and recoverable.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cloud Solutions in Switzerland
Q : What is Zero Trust and why does it matter for cloud security?
Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle that no user, device, or system should be trusted by default — whether inside or outside your network perimeter. In cloud environments, where traditional perimeters no longer exist, Zero Trust is the foundation of effective security. It requires continuous verification of identity and device posture before granting access to any cloud resource, enforcing least-privilege access and explicit policy-based controls throughout.
Q : What is Microsoft 365 Copilot and how do you secure it?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant integrated into Microsoft 365 applications that uses large language models to help users draft documents, summarise meetings, analyse data, and automate tasks. Securing Copilot requires ensuring that it only surfaces data that users are already authorised to access, implementing appropriate data classification and sensitivity labels, and monitoring Copilot usage for anomalous behaviour — all areas where Swiss Expert Group provides advisory and implementation services.
Q : What is AvePoint and what does it add to Microsoft 365?
AvePoint is a Microsoft Solutions Partner that provides advanced data management, governance, backup and recovery, and migration tools for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint environments. While Microsoft 365 includes basic data retention and compliance features, AvePoint extends these with granular backup and recovery, automated lifecycle management, and detailed compliance reporting — critical for organisations with strict data governance requirements.
Q : Is One Step Beyond a certified Microsoft partner?
Yes. One Step Beyond has been a Microsoft Partner since 2017, achieving Solution Partner status for Modern Work and Security in 2024. The company has earned multiple Swiss Partner of the Year awards, including Business Applications (2019), MS Teams (2020), and Swiss Community Response (2021). It operates from Gland (Vaud) and serves organisations across French-speaking Switzerland and beyond.
Q : How does Swiss Expert Group combine cloud and cybersecurity?
Swiss Expert Group brings together One Step Beyond’s Microsoft cloud implementation expertise with the cybersecurity depth of e-Xpert Solutions and eb-Qual. This means cloud projects are designed with security from the outset — Zero Trust architecture, cloud security posture management, identity governance, endpoint protection, and SOC monitoring are all integrated into cloud delivery rather than added as an afterthought.
Q : In which Swiss cities does Swiss Expert Group operate?
Swiss Expert Group operates from offices across both French-speaking and German-speaking Switzerland — in Geneva, Gland, Lausanne, Givisiez, Fribourg, and Kloten (Zurich). We serve clients throughout Switzerland and beyond, delivering cloud solutions and cloud security services on-site or remotely.
