AboutSWIFT CSP Consulting And CSCF Assessment

The entire SWIFT payments community suffers from highly sophisticated and organized cyberattacks, leading users to protect themselves against this cyber threat landscape by complying with the CSP suite of controls.

What Is CSP And CSCF?

Established by SWIFT, the CSP (Customer Security Program) establishes a common set of security controls, known as the Customer Security Control Framework (CSCF), designed to help users secure their local environments and promote a safer financial ecosystem.

SWIFT Architecture Types

SWIFT users must identify the type of architecture that suits the organization’s infrastructure as well as the components according to the scope of the control framework:

image

Architecture A1

Both the messaging and communication interfaces belong to the Bank.

image

Architecture A2

Only the messaging interface belongs to the Bank. The Communication interface belongs to SWIFT or a Service Bureau.

image

Architecture A3

It uses a SWIFT connector since neither the messaging nor the communication interface belongs to the Bank. These interfaces are provided by Service bureau or SWIFT Services such as Alliance Cloud or Alliance Lite 2.

image

Architecture A4

It uses a Bank connector (Middleware system). The messaging and communication interfaces are provided by the Service bureau or by SWIFT.

image

Architecture B

The messaging and communication interfaces are provided by the Service bureau and not by SWIFT.

31 CONTROLS

To improve the cybersecurity of financial networks, basic security controls are developed based on three general objectives. SWIFT users must initially comply with 22 controls (mandatory controls) out of 31. All security controls defined by SWIFT are applicable for SWIFT users to complete a secure payment processing chain.
