ABOUT SWIFT SECURITY REVIEW
SWIFT Security Review (CSP Review)
Remote & Global Services
Cyber attacks on global financial institutions continue to pose a threat. As a result of a number of targeted breaches in recent years, SWIFT has issued mandatory customer security controls to establish a security baseline for the entire industry.
Our SWIFT CSP Security Assessment is a comprehensive risk assessment and policy review which provides assurance of the highest level of cybersecurity posture for banks, financial institutions, and users of the SWIFT / similar payment systems. The service can be used to provide attestation to SWIFT’s mandatory CSP guidelines.
WICS has helped provide attestation for governments, commercial entities, and International Development and Financial Institutions worldwide. We have developed a unique ‘Payment System Review’ framework with 300+ security controls based on the latest SWIFT CSP framework and our own industry experiences.
