cyber& : Certified CSP Advisors
cyber& is certified to conduct independent assessments of SWIFT's Customer Security Programme (CSP). Our team of accredited specialists provides the necessary support to ensure that organizations fully comply with the established controls framework.
Our methodology is based on a rigorous analysis of the current infrastructure, identifying potential compliance gaps and proposing effective corrective measures.
Beyond the audit process, we offer a clear technical vision that facilitates compliance with SWIFT standards, guaranteeing the integrity and security of our clients' transactional operations.
Trust Cyber&'s technical expertise for the validation and fulfillment of your secure connectivity requirements.
The scope of a SWIFT CSP assessment depends strictly on the entity's technical architecture.
At cyber&, as independent advisors, we validate your infrastructure classification to determine which controls are applicable .
A1
Complete SWIFT infrastructure
The entity operates SWIFT's core infrastructure locally, including the messaging component and the communication gateway.
This model offers greater technical control, but also requires a deeper review of hardening, segregation, access, monitoring, and operational continuity.
A2
Local Connector with External Gateway
The organization maintains a local connector or application (Alliance Access) to integrate with a gateway operated by a third party or by SWIFT. The assessment should review both the internal controls of the local environment and the dependencies and shared responsibilities with the external provider.
A3
Access SWIFT via GUI or API
Messaging and some infrastructure reside outside the organization, and users access SWIFT via a web interface or API from a service provider. In this scenario, it is crucial to validate access control, integration security, and governance over the outsourced service.
A4
Complete outsourcing of the service
The organization does not operate its own SWIFT technical infrastructure and uses a service partner's platform and interface entirely. The focus of the assessment shifts to provider oversight, third-party management, internal processes, and evidence of compliance.
B
Without specific SWIFT components
The entity uses third-party applications or cloud services to send and receive financial messages without deploying specific SWIFT software locally. This model has the smallest internal technical footprint, but requires careful evaluation of integrations, authentication, traceability, and compensating controls.
Methodology and Approach
To ensure compliance with the SWIFT Controls Framework (CSCF), we follow a structured six-phase process that ensures transparency and the effective resolution of security gaps before the annual attestation.
PHASE 1
Kick-off and scope definition
PHASE 2
Evaluation of controls and fieldwork
PHASE 3
Gap analysis and preliminary findings
PHASE 4
Support in the Remediation Phase
PHASE 5
Validation of Implemented Controls
PHASE 6
Final report and attestation
