SWIFT CUSTOMER SECURITY PROGRAMME
What is the SWIFT CSP?
The SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) is a framework designed to help financial institutions improve their cybersecurity posture. All SWIFT members must submit an annual self-attestation of compliance with the controls outlined in the framework.
SWIFT conducts random inspections on its members to ensure that they have appropriate cybersecurity controls in place and reports any non-compliant organizations to industry regulators, such as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
SWIFT CSP compliance advisory services
The SWIFT CSP has three overarching objectives, split across seven key security principles and 27 controls. There are 16 mandatory and 11 advisory security controls. Mandatory controls are designed to establish a security baseline for the SWIFT community, while advisory controls are based on recommended best practices but could become mandatory in the future.
3Cyber-Sec offers a range of managed security and assessment services to help organizations in the financial sector comply with the full spectrum of CSP controls and validate their annual self-attestations.
