Swift Customer Security Program Assessment Framework

This document is a guide detailing the Swift Customer Security Program (CSP), which was introduced to address the increasing number of cyber-attacks. The CSP includes the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF), which outlines mandatory and advisory security controls for Swift users. Mandatory controls are essential for establishing a security baseline across the Swift community, and all users must implement these controls on their local infrastructure. Advisory controls, while not mandatory, are recommended best practices that enhance security. The document specifies that compliance with mandatory controls is required annually by December 31, and an independent assessment is necessary for attestation. The assessment process involves several phases: preparation and collection, understanding and assessment, testing and analyzing, and reporting. Each phase is designed to ensure that security measures are effectively implemented and compliant with Swift's requirements.
