SWIFT CSP:
Services & Audits
At cyber&, we enable organizations to validate infrastructure compliance against the mandatory and advisory controls defined by the SWIFT Customer Security Programme applicable to your environment.
Our team includes accredited specialists who conduct independent assessments ensuring the integrity, consistency, and precision of your annual attestation. You can consult the official SWIFT Directory of Certified CSP Assessors to verify our credentials.
SWIFT Connectivity Architectures
The scope of a SWIFT CSP evaluation depends strictly on an entity’s technical architecture. At cyber&, as independent advisors, we validate your infrastructure classification to accurately determine mandatory controls:
Full Local SWIFT Infrastructure
The entity hosts and operates core SWIFT messaging components and communication gateways locally. Demands deep inspection of hardening, network segregation, access control, and monitoring.
Local Connector with External Gateway
The entity maintains a local connector (Alliance Access) integrated with a gateway operated by a third party or SWIFT. Covers local controls as well as shared responsibilities.
SWIFT Access via GUI or API
Messaging and infrastructure reside externally; access occurs via web GUI or API from a service bureau. Critical focus on identity governance, authentication, and externalized controls.
Complete Service Outsourcing
The entity operates no local SWIFT technical components, utilizing the platform and interfaces of an authorized service partner. Focus centers on vendor oversight and internal approvals.
No Specific SWIFT Footprint
The entity uses third-party financial applications or cloud services for financial messages without local SWIFT software. Lowest internal technical footprint, but requires auditing integrations, authentication, and compensating controls.
6-Phase Assessment Methodology
We follow a rigorous process ensuring transparency and effective gap resolution ahead of official attestation publication.
Kick-off & Scope Definition
Architecture mapping, technical classification (A1-B), and comprehensive asset inventory.
Controls Evaluation & Fieldwork
Technical inspection of system configurations, policies, bastion hosts, firewall rules, and authentication.
Gap Analysis & Preliminary Findings
Clear identification of non-conformities against mandatory and advisory CSCF controls.
Remediation Support
Direct technical guidance provided to IT and security teams to resolve uncovered findings.
Validation of Implemented Controls
Re-testing of corrective remediation actions to verify their operational effectiveness.
Final Report & Official Attestation
Issuance of formal independent assessment report compliant with SWIFT directory requirements.
