Assessing the Security of DDPS Real Estate

The Swiss Federal Department of Defense, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) is Switzerland’s largest property owner. Given the organization’s core mission, its real estate must be able to fulfill versatile tasks in all threat situations. We developed an integrated method to assess the security aspects of the DDPS’s real estate portfolio. Over a period of around 40 years, we have continuously adapted the methodology to account for current security policy developments and changes in the portfolio.
