SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) is designed to enhance cyber security for financial institutions connected to SWIFT network.
It comprises 32 security controls divided into three key objectives: Secure Your Environment, Know and Limit Access, and Detect and Respond.
Steps for SWIFT CSP compliance include understanding the framework, self-assessment, implementing security controls, engaging in SWIFT’s assurance process, addressing gaps, and regular reviews.
Common challenges to compliance include evolving security standards, resource constraints, complexity in security infrastructure, employee awareness, monitoring, and third-party risk management.
Non-compliance consequences include financial losses, reputational damage, exclusion from SWIFT, regulatory penalties, increased cyberattack risk, loss of client confidence, legal liabilities, operational disruption, and remediation costs.
