CISO Priority: Critical Updates to the SWIFT Customer Security Programme

Most notable is the Bangladesh Bank, where due a malware infection 81$ million dollars was stolen from accounts. In response, SWIFT introduced the Customer Security Program (CSP) in 2016. In July 2019, SWIFT released the Independent Assessment Framework (IAF) indicating that, all SWIFT members have to perform an independent assessment based on Community Standard Assessments to improve the level of assurance and verification of the security controls implementation. Per 2021, all SWIFT users are required to ask an external party to perform an independent assessment to professionalise compliance with the mandatory controls of the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF v2021).

This has to be set-up during the second half of 2021: are you ready for the new control and the external check? And do you meet the assessment requirements of CSCF SWIFT? Learn more in in our latest white paper "CISO Priority: Critical Updates to the SWIFT Customer Security Programme".
