What is SWIFT CSP?

The SWIFT CSP was introduced to protect the financial system from cyber threats by ensuring that all institutions using SWIFT apply strong security controls. Compliance with SWIFT CSP requires organisations to:

  • Implement mandatory security controls outlined in the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF)
  • Undergo an independent security assessment to verify compliance
  • Submit an annual attestation through SWIFT’s KYC-Security Attestation platform

Failing to comply with SWIFT CSP can lead to increased regulatory scrutiny, reputational risks, and operational disruptions.

Benefits of SWIFT CSP Compliance

By achieving SWIFT CSP compliance, your organisation will:

✅ Enhance Security: Protect against cyber fraud, data breaches, and system vulnerabilities
✅ Meet Regulatory Requirements: Avoid penalties and maintain trust with clients and regulators
✅ Reduce Cyber Risks: Identify and fix security weaknesses before they become major threats
✅ Strengthen Operational Resilience: Improve your ability to detect, respond to, and recover from attacks

The Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) is a set of mandatory and advisory security controls that SWIFT users must implement to protect their SWIFT-related infrastructure. These controls cover areas such as access control, network security, and incident response.

Yes, financial institutions are required to undergo an independent assessment of their SWIFT security controls. This can be conducted by internal risk/audit teams or by external cyber security experts like 1 Sequence Cyber.

SWIFT requires organisations to submit an attestation annually through its KYC-Security Attestation platform. This confirms compliance with the CSCF security controls.

Failure to comply can result in:
❌ Regulatory fines and penalties
❌ Increased security risks (e.g., cyber fraud, data breaches)
❌ Loss of trust from clients, partners, and regulatory bodies
