SWIFT Customer Security Programme

Your independent SWIFT CSP expert for corporates.

Many corporates receive a BIC for the first time and suddenly face SWIFT CSP requirements — with no prior exposure to the Security Controls Framework. I translate the framework into practical, achievable action.

New to SWIFT CSP?

Unlike banks, corporate teams rarely have prior exposure to CSCF.

Treasury and IT teams are asked to comply with a framework built for financial institutions — using unfamiliar terminology, unclear scope, and a mandatory annual assessment on the line. That's where I help: turning SWIFT requirements into a practical, prioritised plan your organisation can actually execute.

  • Understand what applies to your organisation
  • Translate SWIFT requirements into practical actions
  • Prepare your environment for compliance
  • Act as your independent assessor
  • CSCF requirements explained in plain language
  • Gap assessment for your SWIFT architecture
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap
  • Support for internal stakeholders — IT, SAP, treasury, compliance
How it works

An independent assessment, run in five phases.

A structured path from scoping to final attestation — designed around your architecture, not a generic checklist.

PHASE 01

Scoping and preparation

We identify the SWIFT-relevant IT architecture, define components in scope, and discuss applicable CSCF controls during a structured kickoff.

PHASE 02

Evidence support

Ongoing guidance to ensure your documentation and technical evidence meet assessment requirements before the formal review.

PHASE 03

Independent assessment

A structured remote assessment evaluating each control against your specific SWIFT architecture model.

PHASE 04

Remediation support

If gaps are identified, we support you in understanding remediation options to achieve compliance within the current cycle.

PHASE 05

Final attestation

Assistance throughout submission in the SWIFT KYC-SA platform, so results are accurately reflected.

Built for corporates

SWIFT CSP was shaped around banks. Your architecture looks different.

Corporate environments differ significantly in structure, responsibility models, and technical setups. I have hands-on experience translating CSP requirements into environments such as:

SAP-based treasury systems Nomentia Kyriba FIS Service bureau connections Corporate payment factories Lean internal security teams
Success is more than just compliance. It is about minimizing your team's effort, increasing security awareness, and ensuring your security profile matches your risk profile.
