How Businesses Can Achieve SWIFT Compliance?

For organizations utilizing the esteemed Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) interbank messaging network, compliance with the latest cybersecurity standards and the related "assurance framework" is imperative. To become SWIFT qualified, organizations must undertake the following steps:

Self-assessment based on the SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF)

An annual evaluation of the local environment against 23 mandatory and 9 advisory controls, adhering to industry best practices.

Self-attestation according to the SWIFT Customer Security Controls Policy

Each user must submit a self-attestation affirming their compliance with the defined controls, based on the assessment outcomes, before the annual deadline.

Transition from CSCF v2022 to CSCF v2023

To uphold the utmost integrity of attestations from all customers, all submissions for CSCF v2023 must be accompanied by an Independent Assessment. This assessment can be conducted internally, by a second or third line of defense (such as risk, compliance, or internal audit), or externally, by a trusted third-party.
