SWIFT CSP Continuous Assurance Program

Move Past Annual Assessment to Continuous Compliance

Turn SWIFT CSP from an annual scramble into a predictable, low friction, year round assurance program that reduces fraud risk and keeps you attestation ready. Inquire about the SWIFT Continuous Assurance Program below

Features & Benefits

Taking the Pain out of Annual Compliance

Designed for fraud prevention, not paperwork

For many institutions, SWIFT CSP compliance remains a frantic annual exercise rather than a steady, managed capability. Evidence is collected in a rush. Controls are only re-examined when audit raises an issue. Correspondent bank questionnaires trigger stressful rework. Point in time assessments cannot keep pace with evolving SWIFT threats or infrastructure changes. Our SWIFT Continuous Assurance Program aims to provide a more painless annual compliance process.

The result is a gap between the letter of compliance and the reality of SWIFT messaging risk.

Key Features

Stay One Step Ahead of Threats and Compliance

The SWIFT Continuous Assurance Program transforms SWIFT CSP compliance from a one-off self-attestation into a structured, low-friction, year-round assurance capability. Instead of constant audits, you get change-aware, risk-based oversight that focuses effort only where material risk exists and keeps you permanently ready for SWIFT attestation, correspondent scrutiny, and real-world fraud threats.

1 Baseline Independent Assessment

SWIFT-certified assessor conducts a full CSP review, issues a SWIFT ready attestation letter, and aligns a remediation plan.

2 Mid-year Readiness and Remediation

In Q2 you get a structured validation of changes, remediation progress, and high risk controls so that there are no surprises at year end.

Change Impact Assurance

3

When SWIFT environment, architecture, or vendors change, we assess control impact and issue clear change impact statements.
