SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) Compliance Services
The SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) is designed to enhance cybersecurity across financial institutions using the SWIFT network. Cyber threats in the financial sector continue to evolve, and SWIFT CSP ensures that banks, payment service providers, and financial institutions follow a structured security framework to prevent fraud, cyber-attacks, and data breaches.
At 1 Sequence Cyber, we provide expert guidance to help organisations assess, implement, and maintain compliance with SWIFT’s Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF).
Certified for excellence in cybersecurity and compliance standards.
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.
