SWIFT CSP Audit and Attestation

The Financial Cybersecurity Standards and SWIFT CSP Framework provides a strong foundation to the SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) which is designed as a strong framework of mandatory and advisory controls that aims at protecting the security of financial transactions. Securing the SWIFT network is important for financial institutions that operates in increasingly dynamic digital threat landscape.

These controls focus on protecting the SWIFT environment, regulating access and enabling swift detection and response to incidents. However, despite the importance many organizations encounter challenges in interpreting these controls, managing risks posed by third party vendors and aligning outdated systems with SWIFT’s security requirements.
