In today's digital landscape, cyber-attacks on financial networks often originate from vulnerabilities within a customer's local environment. Ensuring compliance with the SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) is essential to safeguarding your organisation's sensitive information and assets, while also fortifying the integrity of the global financial ecosystem.
SWIFT customers' challenge
SWIFT customers are required to self-attest their compliance with the SWIFT CSP on an annual basis. Since 2021, SWIFT has mandated that all customers support their self-attestation with an independent assessment, such as those provided by PwC, to enhance security maturity. Each year, the CSP requirements evolve to address emerging cybersecurity risks, ensuring robust protection for your organisation and the wider financial network.
With PwC's extensive experience and deep expertise in cybersecurity and compliance, we are uniquely positioned to help your organisation navigate these evolving requirements. Our close collaboration with SWIFT and a proven track record in CSP assurance make us the ideal partner to ensure your compliance and strengthen your cybersecurity posture. Trust PwC to provide the insights and support you need to safeguard your operations and maintain the trust of your stakeholders.
