SWIFT CSP Compliance Audit & Assessment
Let us help you strengthen your cyber defences and comply with SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP)
OVERVIEW
In 2016, the Bangladesh Central Bank cyber-attack saw the attackers compromise the banks systems and sent payment instructions totalling $951M, of which $101M were processed by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This attack shocked the global financial ecosystem and remains the biggest bank heist in history.
To help reinforce the security of the global banking system, The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) launched SWIFT’s Customer Security Programme (CSP) to help financial institutions ensure their defences against cyberattacks are up to date and effective, to protect the integrity of the wider financial network. Users compare the security measures they have implemented with those detailed in the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF), before attesting their level of compliance annually.
With solid attestation and compliance rates, the CSP reflects a community of highly engaged users committed to stopping cyberattacks in their tracks. And, as the cyber threat landscape evolves, so too does the CSP.
As of 2021, all SWIFT users are required to undergo “independent assessment” for their compliance with the SWIFT CSCF to support their annual self-attestation.

SWIFT CSP Gap Analysis/Assessment
Your external assessment may highlight non-conformances than previously identified by internal assessments or self-assessment. As such, it may be beneficial to undergo a gap assessment before an assessment of the CSP implemented controls.
Enovise’s Swift CSP gap assessment is an analysis of your organisation’s Swift-related infrastructure to understand what you need to do to meet CSP mandatory compliance requirements. Our team of experts possess internationally recognized certifications such as ISO 27001, CISSP, OSCP, OSCE, PCI- DSS. They shall interview relevant staff, review your current policies, Swift architecture type, procedures, and practices, then produce a detailed gap assessment report which defines your current compliance levels and highlight any areas that need to be addressed, and provide tailored recommendations to achieve compliance against the Swift CSP controls.
