Independent assessment against the SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) — mandatory for all institutions connected to the SWIFT network for international payment messaging.
The SWIFT Customer Security Programme (CSP) requires all users of the SWIFT network to attest their compliance with the Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) annually. Independent assessment has been mandatory since 2021, and the framework continues to evolve with new controls targeting emerging threats to payment infrastructure.
